I put up my McCain/Palin sign last Tuesday. Friday night, it was gone, replaced with an orange cone. I put out my spare McCain Palin sign, reserved for my parents, SAT morning.....gone between 1AM/6AM. Sunday night...same thing...same timeframe.
Any suggestions? I put out my last sign...I am thinking of getting some constertina wire and putting it around my last McCain Palin sign with an additional hand-made sign stating " I have to take these measures due to intolerant liberals stealing my 1st Amendment rights".
Anyways, I'm in Little Rock, AR. Anyone else seeing these events? Been at the same house for 17 years and not one act of vandalism/theft of political signs.
This says a lot about the rage, hate and tactics of the main stream citizens that vote for Obama.
My advise is to dig a deep hole near your sign and cover it with a blanket. Maybe put a few snakes in the bottom of the pit. That way, the sign stealer will be with one of his own kind.
1.What is your state law about trespassers coming on your property after dark?
2. Put a die pack like in bank currency bundles on the sign.
3. Coat the frame with India ink or some noxious substance.
4. Get a motion activated wildlife camera (They cost under $100.) to get a picture of the perps and maybe a license plate depending on the orientation.
5. etc.
Tanglefoot insect trap coating. Clear, odorless, weather resistant, and well near impossible to get off your hands without lot’s of hot water and lava soap. At the very least they’ll ruin the clothes they’re wearing, and possibly really mess up their car’s interior.
Ring it with sticky tar.
don’t think about it, DO IT !!!
Razor blades strategically affixed can be very frustrating to the perp... especially in the dark.
I had my sign mangled within hours of putting it up.
My wife ironed it and put it back in the yard.
Best one yet was to spray the signs with a a slow cure, high tack, clear spray adhesive. Its kind of like fly paper or rat traps...... poetic, don’t ya think?
porch, coffee, shotgun
Get a heavy duty staple gun and staple the entire perimeter of the sign. Then when the lowlife comes to take it in the middle of the night, when it is dark and they cannot see the sharp edges of the many staples sticking out the back, he/she will impale their hand.
If your yard is dark, maybe you could spray paint some rat traps black and put them around the sign.
Put on rubber gloves. Generously apply this hot sauce to the edges of your sign after you replace it.
Walk away.
Dispose of rubber gloves properly and wash your hands at least 3 times before you touch ANY body part.
You won't see it, but the next jerk who touches your sign is in for more pain than they ever thought possible.

Just get a friend, some beer, sit around somewhere nearby, quietly observing and stake it out, and then pounce, pin the guy to the ground when he comes, and then call the police. End of problem.
the other funny thing about that sign is that he calls it his “Palin-McCain” sign, putting her first on the ticket—I love it.
You'll probably need a motion camera in a hidden area that can view the sign and their license plate when they take off. If you get video footage, post it everywhere!
Surround your sign with dog poop.
