Ever since Donald Trump first announced his candidacy, and yard signs for his primary run began to be placed in supporter's yards, there have been numerous cases of vandalism/theft of those signs.
In addition to signs being stolen, reports have also surfaced of people's cars being vandalized for having Trump bumper stickers supporting the Republican presidential candidate. In fact, one voter even set booby traps around his Trump signs because they were constantly being stolen.
The latest theft comes from an employee of WOW Pool & Lawn, a company that offers home care services in Naples, Florida, who apparently on Saturday morning used the company truck to steal a sign from a customer's lawn.
Not only did the employee steal the Trump sign, but it is also reported that he urinated on the customer's mailbox, as the local news station NBC-2 states:
Video out of Collier County showing a man stealing a Donald Trump yard sign and then urinating on the homeowner's mailbox has cost the perpetrator his job. The business the man worked for is apologizing because its work truck was used in the crime.The website for WOW Pool & Lawn has a red pop-up now that issues the following statement, and apology, for their employee being caught steeling a Trump sign from a customer's lawn:The truck in the video is owned by WOW Lawn and Pool Service in Naples.
We spoke with the business owner, who says they've since fired that employee who used the truck without permission.
"WE APOLOGIZE WOW Pool & Lawn Service, Inc. has been indirectly implicated in inappropriate behavior. As you may already be aware of, one of our employees took one of our company trucks and committed inappropriate acts to private property on a late night run as well as stealing a yard sign.The company should be commended for their quick response to this incident, promptly terminating the employee who committed the act and posting a large notice on their website addressing the situation.Please know that WOW Pool and Lawn Service, Inc. was not aware of the actions taken place at the time and in no way do we condone the actions portrayed in the videos. This was solely an immature and irresponsible act from one of our employees and his friend who was making unauthorized use of the company vehicle. Our company has taken extreme measures by immediately terminating his employment as well as personally apologizing to the person directly victimized.
We would also like to apologize to the community. This act has caused many negative comments, threatening emails and phone calls to our company. This behavior is portraying us as something we are not. We are a Christian Family based company that would never jeopardize our standing by allowing these type of actions to take place. The images of the videos do not reflect our company’s views nor morals. We do not instigate, support nor accept inappropriate behavior on behalf of our employees but should not be held accountable for their actions out of company time, which is out of our control.
We deeply regret this situation and the negative impact it has had on our company and the community and kindly ask that WOW Pool & Lawn Service, Inc. not be condemned by these actions but rather consider our long history of professionalism."
Luckily the person whose Trump sign was stolen had a camera to record the action and the perpetrator faced the consequences, but many Trump supporters are not as lucky.
Although many people are voicing their opinions in the form of negative reviews for the company, who is now trending at 1.4 stars on Google.
We set up trail cams after three signs were stolen from our yard. It was the lib neighbors kid. We posted a Gotcha sign along with the kids photo. I don’t think they will mess with us again.
This is the civility that Richard Dreyfus complained that the conservatives don’t have. The left keeps harping on civility when they’re the ones who commit all sorts of mayhem on conservative voters. Problem now is this guy will go on welfare where tax paying conservatives have to pay for.
I'd have to see some proof that they really are a Christian family owned company and not just trying to deflect bad publicity.
Anyone this deranged would make no secret of their political affiliations and actions at work and they still let him use their truck after hours.
booby traps NOT recommended (and depending on where you live, could possibly get you into trouble, too)
but yes indeed, Mr. Trump has to get a BIG BIG HUGE ground campaign going to prevent illegal voting, deceased voting, idiot voting (I guess we can’t prevent that, alas!), and vote rigging both by officials (remember Soros’ nationwide secret funding to elect as many of his type of Secretaries of State as possible? its the Secs of state that certify state voting results)
Looks like a fat mexican skinhead. I hope everyone in the truck gets fired.
That’s a start, but the company also needs to replace the man’s mailbox and supporting post. That’s because it has been irreversibly contaminated. At least I wouldn’t want it anymore.
You are the winner of this thread!!!!!!!!!!! Very good!
I’ve seen one Hillary bumper sticker in my area of Pennsylvania. I still see a few Bernie bumper stickers around. But I definitely see more Trump yard signs. I’m in Eastern PA, close to the NJ border.
They do not steal Hillary Clinton signs because even thieves have standards. Low standards to be sure, but standards none the less.
Cut his d*** off.
Too bad there wasn't an electric fence hidden near where he was urinating.
Just sayin'
It’s worse this election year than back in 2012, and that itself was a high water mark of Democratic Intolerance.
I feel sorry for the company who should not be punished for the unauthorized actions of one of their employees. The folks posting negative reviews should stop. They are nearly as bad as the employee who stole the sign.
Employee is owners brother in law Owner was likely the driver.
Owner came back at 05:30 and put $50.00 and apology note in property owners mailbox and was filmed again.
The whole story is here from the source.
I have only seen 3 Hillary signs. One said vote Hillary, the other two said Hillary for prison.
That’s very true but this stuff happens all the time come national elections. Its always leftists pulling these stunts.
They have the maturity level of a child and can not deal with anyone who disagrees with them.
Keep a list.
You know, in case of total collapse.
No bag limit.
I saw that thread at AR-15.com and also the posts over on LiveLeak which originally posted the video. No doubt the owner is a scumbag LaRaza leftist. Hope he goes bankrupt.
Actually, there appear to be three perps. Notice there is another head in the jump seat of the pickup in the second shot.
I hope it’s right behind him. He doesn’t seem to be able to keep his peepee in his pants, and Cuban deserves whatever he gets.
