CLEVELAND (WJW)– In the midst of what seems to be a very divisive political season, the theft of political yard signs has some taking extreme measures to destroy and to protect them.
Hinckley resident Barbara Cummings said she has never put political signs in her yard before, but this year, she decided to place two signs on her property supporting Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
One was stolen. She said she didn’t give it much thought until a couple of days later. She was startled by the lengths someone went through to destroy the other.
“I was in the living room and I saw a huge flash and heard a big boom. It was so loud it sounded like it was right outside my living room window,” Cummings said.
“Around here you hear people firing weapons at targets and so forth, but nothing like this; it was a definite explosion,” said Jerry Dolcini, a neighbor. He heard the blast from his nearby garage and raced over believing a house might have exploded.
“I looked and there was the mailbox blown apart, charred. And there were pieces of my remaining political sign charred and torn and ripped. What it looked like was somebody had taken the sign, either ripped it up or folded it, put it in the mailbox and blew it up,” Cummings said.

I will file this under “BS”.
I think the story of the exploding mailbox is BS.
That woman makes a great case for retroactive abortions.
No argument here.
She wishes she was f'n aborted.
Perhaps, I need to rethink my pro-life principles. Maybe delayed voluntary self-abortion should be legalized. (I'm only kidding.)
Wish I would receive my Trump lawn sign. I ordered it 3 weeks ago with my donation. Are they backordered?
BINGO,
I find that the rabid liberals are much more likely to destroy or steal a political sign or damage private property than Republicans. This is why I will not put a Trump bumper sticker on my truck.
This is also why there are so many stealth Trump supporters.
I have up two Trump signs and a local State Rep sign on my property. I am on a country road in southern NH. The closest neighbor is a 1/4 mile in each direction. The signs have been up for going on 3 weeks. I am actually surprised that they have not been stolen of damaged. Every morning when I pull out I look to see if they are still there.
I still have one in the garage in reserve.
Yes, because it is the Republican/conservatives that have been rioting and damaging cities all around our country. It is all those pickup driving rednecks causing all the damage.
Do I really need to post the (SARC) tag?
Oh no!!! No place for the mail carrier to leave the Welfare checks!!!
Oh, that's precious. The property owner should've art least given the perp a participation trophy.
> Wish I would receive my Trump lawn sign...
Hope they didn’t mail it!
