GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last Thursday I put out one of my Bush/Cheney signs in my front yard. Between midnight and 3:00 a.m. someone stole it. On Friday night I put out sign No. 2. Since I didn't have to get up early, I thought my dog and I would "stake out" our sign. This time I put the sign a little closer to the gate leading to my backyard. With my dog on an extra long leash, I planted myself on a lawn chair and read "Unfit for Command" by flashlight until about 1:00 a.m. Here comes the fun part . . . I noticed that the car coming down the street was slowing down and pulling over to the curb right next to my yard. Sure enough, he gets out of his car and heads right for my sign. Just as he was about to uproot and desecrate it, I opened my gate and let my dog make the initial introduction! As he ran to hide behind the rear end of his car, I promptly moved to the driver-side door, which was still open. It was a fairly nice car with power everything and still running. While my dog continued to "introduce" herself, I rolled up the window and hit the power door lock button. With that, I slammed the door, grabbed my Bush sign and headed into the back yard.
And now for the "rest of the story." About 40 minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to one of our city's finest . . . the Vancouver Police Department. The officer asked me what was going on and when I told him, he could not stop laughing! I followed him out to the perp's car and stood there while he asked the guy a few more questions. Upon learning that the guy lived a couple of streets down, I -- knowing what was about to happen -- asked him, "Why do you have Oregon plates on your car if you live just down the street (here in Vancouver, Wash.)?" Oregon has no sales tax, so often Washington residents will buy and register cars in Oregon to avoid paying sales tax . . . it's a crime and the fine is pretty stiff. Here comes the best part. . . . The look on this guy's face told me he knew he was about to get busted. When the officer asked for his license and registration, the "Democrat" mumbled that (his license) was suspended. Just for kicks and giggles I asked the officer if he smelled any alcohol coming from the guy! The officer looked at me, smiled and promptly gave him a field breathalyzer test. Guess what? You got it, he blew a .10, legally drunk in the state of Washington.
DUI, illegal registration and the brand of "MORON," all 'cause he hates Bush!
Sincerely,
Bob

So this happened to you?
LOL. Karma, big time....
EXCELLENT!
I saw this a few weeks ago. I'd bet it's an urban legend.
rofl, that's awesome.
Great story!
LOL, That is the best of the day!
This sounds too good to be true!
Who cares if it's a vanity... who cares if the tale is apocryphal... BUMP BUMP BUMP!!! Good stuff.
Bravo =- we need thousands more like you...or whoever had the gall to do such.
BUMP!
Welcome to Free Republic. So, this happened to you, personally? Or was it something you got somewhere else?
Rathergate is a 'sign' of the times: Larry Elder relays hilarious tale of Democrat caught stealing
hello - check this out for a smile.
Dude, you're hardcore.
See my #15
Excellent story thanks for sharing!
I thought it sounded too good. So, is it a troll?
Since crimes are reported in the local papers "police beat" section, how bout posting the write up from the paper.
I LOVE YOU BOB!!
Poifect! :)
Awesome!
I guess I will have to rely on "snubby" or his big cousin "Colt Python".

I knew I had read that before. I loved it.
This has been circulating in some e-mails
I don't know. Gotta get something done before I leave work, anyway.
BTTT
It just seems too damn good to be true, more like an e-mail chain letter (with a similar one going around about a Kerry sign stealer). Just asking.
I have had six signs stolen here in MD. I must get a dog, lol
Great work!
you.... are my hero
Fantastic story! You need to send it to Rush!
Mine's not so funny, but a rural household I drive by every day had a Kerry sign, along with other Democratic candidates. When I noticed the Kerry sign had vanished, I dropped in Kerry's headquarters here in town and got a replacement. I went to the guy's door, handed him the sign and told him I'm a major Bush supporter, but we Republicans are great believers in free speech and people who steal yard signs suck. His jaw was still on the ground as I drove off.
See Message 15. This is a bogus post, even if it is funny as heck. The poster should have referenced the source.
You're right -- It's fiction. Snopes doesn't list it, but Truthorfiction does.
I have my reasons in this instance - namely, it was posted days ago, and the poster didn't source it or say whether it was him or he got it via email.
I'm sure it is, but still funny as h**l. It made me laugh. I'm a sucker for a good story.
Sounds like a made up story.
BRAVO! I hope this is for real and not made up!
Oh come on. An unknown source posted on the internet, this has got to be legit. The only thing that would make it more legit, is if it were an e-mail that had already been forwarded a dozen times.
LOL How funny!
Dang! Some guys have ALL the luck ! That is just ...AWESOME
Constitution Day has shown that it comes from a Larry Elder column. But nowhere in the article does Larry provide evidence that it is true.
Indeed...and I know too many people who might just use this story line in real life to protect their own signs.
Hey John O -- wanna borrow Belle?
On my signs (which I know ar likely to be lifted), I swab a concentrated scent that is used in "Big Stinky."
Big Stinky is a high volume fly trap used in and around agricultural buildings.
The substance reminds flies of their favorite munchies and once deposited on the hands of the perp, will not be washed off for a couple days.
If you see someone in your office (in Northern Virginia) with a bunch of flies buzzing around and his wife is making him sleep outside then you will know what he has been doing under the cover of darkness.
Lighten up, Francis.
ROTFLOL!
This is TOO rich!
Keeper of the lists...
do that thing you do SO well! ;o)
Hillarious
