Any good suggestions for preventing or capturing DemoRATS that steal campaign yard signs from your yard?

Maybe rat traps?

put a bare wire around the border of the sign and hook to an electric fence generator for $60.



I hooked one of these to a trailer than had gotten broken into --- the tires act as insulators -- touch the knob and ZOWIE. Massive cussing in Spanish and squealing tires is all I heard.

Extreme pain, no lasting damage.

Find out who your local Republican committeeperson is and report the crime to him/her. Chances are they know who on the other side did it.

“i put Vaseline on the edges of all mine...”

That just makes them sexually attractive to Democrats.

Roofing tar patch works great and can permanently ruin a vehicles interior.

In the roofing biz we called it pooky because it stinks and
takes gasoline to get it off your hands.

Nails through the top of the sign. Both ways. Make sure the nails are small, so they cannot be seen, and make sure they go all the way through the sign. And, yes. I have done this before. My Palin yard sign still has a little blood on it, but I still have it.

I like it. However, combine liquid wood preservative and a lump of cat sh*t, then coat said pointies with it.

I live in one of the most liberal counties in the US. It’s veeeery interesting, but in years past I’ve had a lot of trouble with yard signs getting stolen, and signs were routinely stolen/vandalized by the roadside. This year, not so much. My Ehrlich sign has not been touched and neither have any of those out on the public roads. Makes you think that maybe not everybody is feeling as liberal as they used to.

I had several sets of signs stolen right out of my front yard.
Went to the tackle box and got 25lb. fishing line, tied all of the signs together and with a single line attached it to a Christmas bell inside my front door.
Heard a jingle about 11pm and low and behold a group of “yoots” where struggling to get away with them.
When the yard light came on they scattered like roaches.
Haven't had a problem since.
