RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Wake County man says he caught a campaign sign stealer on tape.

Wake County deputies arrested Edward Shook for misdemeanor larceny after he was videotaped removing signs from a Raleigh man's yard.

Bill Moore, of north Raleigh, said his free speech was trampled when three different sets of Bush-Cheney signs were swiped from his yard in less than a week.

They should tattoo the miscreant with a Big Red 'W' on his forehead.

Does somebody really think they are affecting the election by doing this? My assumption is they have a very low IQ and they actually equate the sign with the reason someone is elected. That might work in a local election but not a national one.

He refers to the campaign signs as "liter". If so, did he remove any democrat signs? Do I hear a huge NO?

He looks like he is short a few marbles or is he just mad that he got caught?

His poor wife. It must be a nightmare being married to a jerk like that.

Sometimes, though, the wife is just as bad. Can only hope there is only one like that in the family.

Better keep your doors locked from this point forward. Someone like that is dangerous for crimes other than sign theft.

I just experienced this myself, though my sign was in a large cluster of other poltical signs (both R & D) along a busy road...there was no Bush/Cheney sign there, so I went to HQ and got one yesterday to put up. Today, I found it had been torn in half and thrown on the ground in front of a perfectly intact Kerry/Edwards sign.

My friend and I taped it back together and put it back up. I'm sure it will be damaged again tomorrow, but I refuse to let these leftist anti-free speech thugs win. If it comes down, something else is going up.

Just saw the clip on WRAL.

The guy's nose looks like WC Fields (that is, an alky's nose)
