A no parking sign outside a fishing supplies shop has divided a beachside suburb.
The makeshift sign was tied to a pole outside the Hornibrook Bait and Tackle business at Clontarf, north of Brisbane, at the weekend.
'Unless you're supporting this local business, please don't park here!,' it said.
Redcliffe peninsula residents were outraged and wrongly accused the Moreton Bay business owner of putting the sign there himself.

Another woman accused business owner Tony Lincoln of acting as if he owned Pelican Park by the water across the road
'Just wondering how legal your signs were, as you clearly don't own the street,' one woman wrote on the closed Facebook group, The Redcliffe Peninsula.
Another woman accused business owner Tony Lincoln of acting as if he owned Pelican Park across the road on the waterfront.
'Okay, but you don't own the park so your sign is pointless,' she said.
Mr Lincoln explained to The Redcliffe Peninsula Facebook group, which has 17,900 members, organisers of the weekend Kitefest had placed the sign outside his shop on Hornibrook Esplanade.
'Kitefest supplied it and put it up without being asked,' he said.
'I didn't approach them. They just did it.'
