Ever since Donald Trump first announced his candidacy, and yard signs for his primary run began to be placed in supporter's yards, there have been numerous cases of vandalism/theft of those signs.
In addition to signs being stolen, reports have also surfaced of people's cars being vandalized for having Trump bumper stickers supporting the Republican presidential candidate. In fact, one voter even set booby traps around his Trump signs because they were constantly being stolen.
The latest theft comes from an employee of WOW Pool & Lawn, a company that offers home care services in Naples, Florida, who apparently on Saturday morning used the company truck to steal a sign from a customer's lawn.
Not only did the employee steal the Trump sign, but it is also reported that he urinated on the customer's mailbox, as the local news station NBC-2 states:
Video out of Collier County showing a man stealing a Donald Trump yard sign and then urinating on the homeowner's mailbox has cost the perpetrator his job. The business the man worked for is apologizing because its work truck was used in the crime.The website for WOW Pool & Lawn has a red pop-up now that issues the following statement, and apology, for their employee being caught steeling a Trump sign from a customer's lawn:The truck in the video is owned by WOW Lawn and Pool Service in Naples.
We spoke with the business owner, who says they've since fired that employee who used the truck without permission.
"WE APOLOGIZE WOW Pool & Lawn Service, Inc. has been indirectly implicated in inappropriate behavior. As you may already be aware of, one of our employees took one of our company trucks and committed inappropriate acts to private property on a late night run as well as stealing a yard sign.The company should be commended for their quick response to this incident, promptly terminating the employee who committed the act and posting a large notice on their website addressing the situation.Please know that WOW Pool and Lawn Service, Inc. was not aware of the actions taken place at the time and in no way do we condone the actions portrayed in the videos. This was solely an immature and irresponsible act from one of our employees and his friend who was making unauthorized use of the company vehicle. Our company has taken extreme measures by immediately terminating his employment as well as personally apologizing to the person directly victimized.
We would also like to apologize to the community. This act has caused many negative comments, threatening emails and phone calls to our company. This behavior is portraying us as something we are not. We are a Christian Family based company that would never jeopardize our standing by allowing these type of actions to take place. The images of the videos do not reflect our companys views nor morals. We do not instigate, support nor accept inappropriate behavior on behalf of our employees but should not be held accountable for their actions out of company time, which is out of our control.
We deeply regret this situation and the negative impact it has had on our company and the community and kindly ask that WOW Pool & Lawn Service, Inc. not be condemned by these actions but rather consider our long history of professionalism."
Luckily the person whose Trump sign was stolen had a camera to record the action and the perpetrator faced the consequences, but many Trump supporters are not as lucky.
Although many people are voicing their opinions in the form of negative reviews for the company, who is now trending at 1.4 stars on Google.
Read the rest of this thread. Nothing classy about the company.
Great question. Gonna remember that and use it if the opportunity arises.
Hopefully the full story will come out. Firing the guy is a great response. (NFL: take notice.) People who find out the full story will understand.
I don’t see any Hitlery signs around here. 4 and 8 years ago, we were infested with 0vomit signs. So even if the same people are leaning left, there is definitely no enthusiasm.
I’ve seen a few handmade “Hillary for Prison” signs. :-)
keep reading!
I just did! I retract my statement about the company. They are apparently also dirtbags.
It says permanently closed where the operating hours should go.
Looks like the perp was riding with the owner. They are just doing a panic CYA. BTW, if he opened the mailbox to piss inside it, that is a Federal felony.
.
Wild assumptions at that site.
You must be gullible as hell.
Probably changing name to GO Trump Pool and Lawn.
Worse. He paid Fifty bucks to commit a Federal crime.

The owner of the company has already admitted that he was the driver of the truck.
Oh.
So peeing on the neighbor’s mailbox is wrong?
That’ll take some time off my morning walk.
you have to be real careful about advertising your support for the Republican. Liberals are psychopaths. They’ll vandalize your property and poison your pets over a yard sign.
"I did not even know he urinated on your mailbox. I hope you understand"!
Had a GWB sticker on my brand new Pickup and three days later it was keyed to the tune of 800 dollars. the tolerant left my tushy. The left loves to mess up stuff belonging to people they disagree with.
I've been cruising around trying to find her yard signs so I can tell my grandchildren about how grandpa got arrested for stealing Hillary Clinton signs and can't find a single one. Would someone please come and put up Hillary Clinton signs in Bellville, Texas? Just sneak around at night and put some up.
Thanks for the information, I will check out the link you provided.
