<p>TUPELO, Miss. &mdash; Elvis Presley’s birthplace in Mississippi is offering a $1,000 reward to figure out who took the word “Elvis" off the landmark’s sign.</p>
<p>The museum discovered the first name taken from the “Elvis Presley Birthplace, Museum &amp; Chapel" sign over the weekend. The word “Elvis” had been written as the rock ’n’ roll pioneer’s signature.</p>
<p>The museum in Tupelo isn’t sure exactly when the brick sign was damaged.</p>
<p>The entire sign was stolen three months ago and had just recently been replaced, <a href="https://www.wtva.com/content/news/Elvis-Birthplace-sign-vandalized-574538501.html">WTVA-TV reported</a>.</p>
<p>The singer’s birthplace also <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-tornadoes-7137b3896f50b4b37d290acafcc4b89b">survived a tornado</a> moving nearby in early May.</p>
<p>The site includes the restored two-room house built by Presley’s family for $180. He was born there in January 1935.</p>
