Casey LeBlanc didn't win the Canadian Idol title in 2005, but thieves have pushed road signs honouring the singer in her New Brunswick hometown to the top of the charts.

Nackawic, her hometown of 1,500, celebrated LeBlanc's success last fall by naming a section of Route 105 "Casey's Way." She arrived at the dedication ceremony in a helicopter, and performed for a cheering crowd in a park.

The road sign disappeared just a week after it was erected, and its replacement was snatched soon after. A third replacement was stolen earlier this week.

Nancy Cronkite, Nackawic's chief administrative officer, says the town can't afford to keep replacing the $500 signs, which are about three metres long and a half metre wide.

"We're very disappointed in people. We did a lot of hard work, and that was something council wanted to do," Cronkite said, adding she hoped the people who took them would bring them back.

FREDERICTON -- The only time Casey LeBlanc has travelled outside her home province of New Brunswick was when she visited Toronto last year to compete on Canadian Idol.

Now, she's taking a much longer trip -- she's heading to Afghanistan next month to sing for the Canadian Forces members stationed there.

LeBlanc, who placed fifth in last year's season of Canadian Idol, is part of a group of Canadian artists and musicians heading to the war-torn country in November.

LeBlanc says she first heard of the idea in Moncton, N.B., during the Country Rocks the Hill concert in August.

She was excited about the opportunity, so she signed up.

"I think it's going to be important to me because we're leaving in November, around Remembrance Day ... so I think it will tie everything together," says LeBlanc.

"We're going there to support them, but it's going to be a blast for us and for them too, so I'm definitely looking forward to it."

LeBlanc recalls watching other stars visit soldiers in the past, but she never imagined she'd be one of the musicians boarding a plane.

"On TV, they had the shows where Paul Brandt and George Canyon went over there to do the same sort of thing, and I just thought, 'That would be so amazing, I would love to do that.' "

When she gets back, LeBlanc will head to Toronto to rehearse with her band, Braided, made up of LeBlanc and fellow Idol competitors Ashley Leitao and Calgary's Amber Fleury.
