Recent polls indicate that Republican US Senate hopeful Scott Brown has stolen a bit of Democratic nominee Martha Coakley's thunder. Now Coakley volunteers are accusing Brown supporters of stealing her campaign signs, too.

About a dozen Coakley lawn signs disappeared in Wellesley and Needham last week, according to police reports.

....on a related note The Brown family dog was seen urinating on a neighbor’s tree. Film at 11.

I want to know if anyone has come across any photos of a dog watering a croakley sign.

That's the only thing I find missing.

[catfish1957]

Someone actually called the police because of a politcal sign?. Here it Texas that’s a good way to get chewed out by law enforcement for wasting their time.

[Humble Servant]

It’s actually Kookley’s campaign complaining about followers who’ve removed the signs from their own yards out of embarrassment.

[1_Rain_Drop]

oooh you beat me to it.

[MarkAccord]

Why isn’t there a SWAT team to storm the entire neighborhood? This is big, really big.

[catfish1957]

Strange coincidence for sure.

[Marty62]

FER shur...
I mean “Marcia” Cokely might suffer a resounding defeat because of the missing signs. /s

I don’t think you should be thinking 60-40 at all.
Some (I’m not saying you) are vastly misinterpreting the intrade numbers.

[theymakemesick]

I suspect agent provocateurs again. The signs are most likely in the trunk of the car of a Coakley supporter who filed the theft report.

yep.

[kittymyrib]

Call Interpol. Now that BO has given them permission to circumvent U.S. law, maybe they can institute beheadings for this egregious crime.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Brown signs have been disappearing for the last two weeks allegedly by other Brown supporters who wanted them. There's a shortage of Brown signs.

[Dr.Deth]

Democratic Party trait #1: Projection.

Fact: Signs disappear.

Conclusion: The opponent’s supporters stole them.

Why? Because that’s what we would do!

[WeatherGuy]

Stolen signs???

[Gene Eric]

Are they sure the signs weren’t knocked down?

[Mears]

Wellesley and Needham——hotbeds of crime. LOL

[Interesting Times]

UPDATE: Senior FBI investigators gathered at the presumed crime scene now believe the missing Coakely campaign signs actually “corkscrewed themselves into the ground.” The officials did not offer any explanation for this unusual behavior.

[Fitzy_888]

This is what the Dems and the Lib media have been reduced to.

=> $10 says before the election there is a story about Scott Brown bus idling or alike.

[Beckwith]

Wellesley and Needham — Barney Franks’ district

[Political Junkie Too]

Next, they'll say that Coakley lost because her supporters thought Democrats were supposed to vote on Wednesday.
