“Booby trapped ?
Why no officer, I was just making sure the signs didn’t wander into other people’s yards!”
Also a big wind could come up and blow them away making them a safety hazard. Good thinking on his part to keep them tied down.
I’d of just said the wind kept blowing them down so I tied them up real good to the house. Lost one to some very high wind gust when we were trying to unseat a State Rep 2 yrs ago, lots of both sides signs were down that morning all over our small burg.
