As it is copper, it would probably be simplest to put a couple of connectors on the back and run the 24 hour alarm circuit through the sign itself.

Yes there are lots of rivets. I decided to keep the original method.
Here's the finished job.

turned the heads off hex bolts and screwed them in with visegrips and painted them.

of the aluminium letters are fastened over the securing bolts so that visegrips cannot be turned. The other letters cannot be removed until the securing bolts are removed. The bolts holding on the letters will be covered with timber secured by screws that will be countersunk and bogged over and the timber painted black. That should be a sufficiently difficult problem for thieves to solve in the dark.
