Homeowner's Elaborate Rigging Busts Kerry Sign Thief
POSTED: 9:22 am EDT October 27, 2004 WINONA, Minn. -- A Minnesota man has come up with an elaborate way to catch the people stealing John Kerry campaign signs from his yard.
And it almost worked the other day.
Rick Carpenter screwed his 2-by-4-foot Kerry sign to the wall of his house and coated it with Vaseline. His wife, Veronica, chipped in by running fishing line from the sign into the house and tying it to wind chimes.
The chimes sounded about 1 a.m. Saturday. Carpenter said he was out the door so fast he forgot he wasn't wearing pants.
Carpenter said four of the five culprits fled. One apologetic woman remained behind, saying she couldn't stop her Bush-supporting boyfriend from going after the sign. She told Carpenter she likes Kerry.
The Carpenters let the woman go without calling police.

The new journalistic standards of the Kerry-sociated press on display.
Vaseline and windchimes.... how liberal.
Coat the sign in super-hot, distilled *scotch bonnets* pepper oils, and the perps will wind-up in an emergency room.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Massive violence against Republicans, a democrat operative try to run over a female federal office candidate, Bush/Cheney signs ripped down all over the US, a mssive nationwide democrat party coordinated campaign across this nmation, ad nauseum, AND THIS IS THE STORY AP RUNS!!!!!!
Not to mention >....NO PANTS...how liberal!
Pretty ingenious for a Dumocrat!
The homeowner had no pants, and the Kerry supporters thought he was a Clintonista.
I have a full time armed guard with a 12 gauge. Molon Labe!
You would have plenty of problems once somebody got electrocuted.
One AM? Wouldn't this "Republican" sign thief have a job to go to in the morning?
I smell a fib. =)
But who put the sand in the Vaseline?
naw...that's what shovels is for...
Ok???
Note: do NOT get any of the mix onto your bare skin -- the effect is incredibly unpleasant; think fire ants running up and down inside your arms. In short, just exactly what a sign thief deserves.
Yep...and in many of the cases were this crap has occured against Republicans, they are supported by police reports and witnesses. I'd like to know just how long the AP had to dig for this unsupported story, when examples of Democrat thuggery are rampant throughout the country.
LOL!
Republican offices are vandalized, shot at, broken into with computers stolen, people's arms broken, swastikas sprayed on lawns, etc., and we get a story of vaseline on a Kerry sign to ward off vandals, and oh, some vandalism happened to Republicans too.
