A security 'system' of some sort may be needed...

In the more than 30 years Sandy Gray and her husband Rob Biggerstaff have lived in North Kohala, they’ve never had trouble feeling safe at home.
“I have never felt any kind of anxiety or fear or anything, and we’ve lived here all these years,” Gray said.
The couple moved to the Big Island in 1984 from Houston, in part to get away from the poor air quality there and also in hope of finding a place to grow their own food.
They found what they were looking for in Hawi.
“It was wonderful compared to what it was like in Houston,” Gray said.
But since the latter half of July, the couple said, they’ve been targeted.
On several occasions, the couple’s yard signs, which they posted in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have gone missing.
It started after two signs set up alongside the couple’s pasture went missing.
Then more signs went missing, prompting Biggerstaff to secure signs to trees with washers and roofing screws.
Two of those signs were ripped from the trees, he said.
Finally, the couple’s Trump sign posted at the gate to their property disappeared.
“I didn’t think too terribly much about the first two signs being taken,” Gray said. “But then when it kept on and it got so nasty with the person going inside our fence and tearing down signs, that’s when I started feeling invaded.”
“And when we came home and saw the sign down right from our front gate, I was just shocked,” she added.
In total, seven of their eight signs have been torn down from the fence or trees.
At $20 each, that’s $140 worth of stolen property.
“It was unbelievable how it made me feel,”

I hope Trump calls for the formation of a trained civilian militia , to contain the growing radical Leftist anarchism in our country . It’s time . We have come to tolerate the intolerable . All for p/c’s sake and it ain’t right , nor righteous .
Amend the Constitution
My daughter and son-in-law have had their signs stolen twice. They just went and got a giant one and several little ones and bought surveillance cameras.
It doesn't take long for the local Democrat sign thieves to get very unhappy and leave our signs alone.

I recommend automatic wildlife cameras. Place one on a tree nearby a sign and catch a picture of the perp. Take the pic to the local law enforcement.
I also read a while ago that someone rigged an electric fence charger to a sign that gave a nasty shock to anyone touching it.
Here in Western Suburban Chicago there are ZERO signs for either candidate. I don’t see any bumper stickers either. I think people are scared to show their support for Trump.
“TRUMP. This sign provided through the courtesy of Ruger, Smith and Wesson, and Remington Arms Co. Steal at your own risk”.
I tried to post but was blocked by DISQUIS
Goes both ways. I would never deny someone’s first amendment right to post the ‘can’t-i-date’ of their choice in their yard but did have it happen to us leading up to the lyin’ king’s first abysmal term. Twice someone took our yard signs so we just quit putting them up. We were pretty sure who it was but without a video, couldn’t prove it. I wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and never mentioned either party. Just the disappearing campaign signs and that they should be left alone regardless.
Same with a bud of mine in AZ. 4 cameras with a big Trump sign close to the door which simply reads after multiple thefts: “STEAL THIS AGAIN YOU LIB MOTHUF****, I DARE YOU”
Good idea.

Funny, but a bad idea. Could get you in real trouble.
People with childish minds, will do childish things. They are like unhappy 1-2nd graders who will destroy whatever the other child has that annoys them. BTW, this behavior comes from those self proclaimed smarter than you folks.
” rigged an electric fence charger to a sign that gave a nasty shock to anyone touching it.”
That’d be my approach. Blow the MFer on their ass!
Wait up at night in the bushes then kneecap them with a Louisville slugger.
But “Trump has no aloha” so crimes against his supporters are okay.
Apparently.

That was 0bama’s hope also - to contain the growing right wing conservative conspiracy. If Hillary wins that idea will be resurrected.
