Best yard sign stealing story I've heard so far... :)

Post subject: True story: democrat stealing Bush sign

--

True story: Last Thursday I put out one of my Bush/Cheney signs in my front yard. Between midnight and 3:00 a.m. someone stole it. On Friday night I put out sign No. 2. Since I didn't have to get up early, I thought my dog and I would "stake out" our sign. This time I put the sign a little closer to the gate leading to my backyard.


TOPICS: Oregon; Washington; Campaign News; Parties
KEYWORDS: bush; cheney; sign; stealing; yard
With my dog on an extra long leash, I planted myself on a lawn chair and read "Unfit for Command" by flashlight until about 1:00 a.m. Here comes the fun part . . . I noticed that the car coming down the street was slowing down and pulling over to the curb right next to my yard. Sure enough, he gets out of his car and heads right for my sign. Just as he was about to uproot and desecrate it, I opened my gate and let my dog make the initial introduction!

As he ran to hide behind the rear end of his car, I promptly moved to the driver-side door, which was still open. It was a fairly nice car with power everything and still running. While my dog continued to "introduce" herself, I rolled up the window and hit the power door lock button. With that, I slammed the door, grabbed my Bush sign and headed into the back yard.

And now for the "rest of the story." About 40 minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to one of our city's finest, the Vancouver Police Department. The officer asked me what was going on and when I told him, he could not stop laughing! I followed him out to the perp's car and stood there while he asked the guy a few more questions. Upon learning that the guy lived a couple of streets down, I -- knowing what was about to happen -- asked him, "Why do you have Oregon plates on your car if you live just down the street (here in Vancouver, Wash.)?" Oregon has no sales tax, so often Washington residents will buy and register cars in Oregon to avoid paying sales tax . . . it's a crime and the fine is pretty stiff.

Here comes the best part. . . . The look on this guy's face told me he knew he was about to get busted. When the officer asked for his license and registration, the "Democrat" mumbled that (his license) was suspended. Just for kicks and giggles I asked the officer if he smelled any alcohol coming from the guy! The officer looked at me, smiled and promptly gave him a field breathalyzer test.

Guess what? You got it, he blew a .10, legally drunk in the state of Washington. DUI, illegal registration and the brand of "MORON," all 'cause he hates Bush!

Cost of Bush signs: $5.95 each

Cost of Flashlight batteries: $3.95/Pack

Seeing a Leftwing Numbskull carted off to the hoosegow: Priceless!

Would have made for some great viewing material! I gave my mother a Bush sign that was also stolen. I've been inspired :)

What a great story. Glad you caught this Kerry supporter perp. Around here, they have spray painted Bush/Cheney signs. The dems need to seriously grow up. They are embarrassing me as a form dem. Wish they stop it.

Well, this story sure beats mine! One of the local high schools gave a civics assignment for the students to visit one or the other of the local political campaign headquarters to observe and see what was going on. To prove they'd been there they needed bring in a flier or bumper sticker or sign. Well, seems the enterprising students decided to bypass the headquarters and go straight to the signs. From peoples yards!! Quite a number of them from what I understand. The signs have all been returned to the respective headquarters and the 30 year traditional assignment is being "reevaluated".

Hey aj... I did a 17-hour gig as an election judge in my Minneapolis suburb. While on greeter duty I had a guy come up and ask for an GOP election judge. I told him I was it. He then proceeded to lament about someone stealing all of his and his neighbors Bush/Cheney yard signs in daylight the day of the election.

It didn't come from anyone in an official capacity within my precinct, that's for sure.

I told him your story to make him feel better. He actually said he heard it from somewhere.
