Bush Signs Stolen Again! - Round 3
ReasonablyConservativePatriot | October 11, 2004 | ReasonablyConservativePatriot

Posted on 10/11/2004 7:54:49 AM PDT by banyanroot

My brother (who has now joined FR as 'ReasonablyConservativePatriot' - woohoo!) had his homemade Bush signs stolen after his Bush - Cheney 04 signs were stolen. You can view his 1st set of replacements at Bush Sign Stolen - Worthy Replacements and his comment HERE.

Round 3:

So far, nobody has bothered my sign but I live in the country on a dead-end road with only about 30 houses. To date, nobody has erected a sKerry sign so this is Bush Country in an F'n blue state! According to the latest polls, Michigan can go either way and I'm doing what I can to make that a reality - working the phone bank in Waterford.

The Minnesota GOP has erected a site that documents all the attacks on conservative free speech in their state - When Angry Democrats Attack. I'm not aware of a similar site by Michigan republicans. If anyone finds one, please post the link here. Otherwise, I will start one.

You know that most good video cameras have a motion-detect feature? You can even set your web-cam up for it.

Please, let's stop complaining and start catching these people.

Interesting pictures. Thanks for posting them. I wonder how the angry left will react when President Bush is reelected. I hope it's by a decisive margin or things could get really ugly.

What if some clever FReepers covered their signs in an ultra sticky clear adhesive?

It would definitely identify the perp, and the bonus feature of having them (literally) stuck with the object of their hatred!

see my previous thread....good suggestions there.
also, start putting your address on a small part of the corner of your signs. in the event police pull over a car full of drunken dims, they find the evidence and where to
go.

One substance that truly works is graphite lubricant - it's sort of a powdery liquid. You have no idea when you are touching it, until much later when you look at yourself and see that it leaves a HUGE mess of fingerprints everywhere. Works great on doorknobs and mailboxes (to stop mail theft).

Get some of the adhesive rat traps and attach them around the outside of the sign in the back of it with the sticky side facing outward. The thief will have sticky goo all over their hands.

I would put two new signs up for every one that they stole.

Insulate the sign and wrap some electric fence wire around the base, fire it up and try to catch it on video. :-D

Iodine crystals mixed with ammonia nitrate makes a great deterrent. (at least it did in college.)

I wonder if police gear stores sell flashbang grenades. One of those wired to a Bush/Cheney sign would make a pleasant surprise for the kerry vandals.

hanging them in a tree works proves hours of fun watching them try and deface it. works good to with a pit and palm fronds covering the hole under the sign

Try a mixture of Vaseline, DMSO, and LSD (or any psychotropic drug in solution).

Guarantee you the perp won't be bothering anyone for quite a while.

I was warned by the local Republican headquarters to take my sign in at night. I've been doing that and I still have my sign.

God bless you for doing something instead of just sitting on your butt at a computer or yelling at the TV. Prayer, giving, and work are the only ways we will win this election. Thank you for doing your part.

My Bush/Cheney signs were taken last night, and a Kerry sign left in its place! Mys husband saw it as he pulled out of our driveway this morning, and ripped up the Kerry sign and left it on the lawn. I just cleaned it all up.

I AM LIVID!!!!

I am in Austin, TX and haven't decided what to do as my reply. Any suggestions?
