They are at it in my town. I've noticed it driving around and now the local newspaper has printed details.

Some more thefts have occurred that have not been reported to police.

They even leave behind Obama signs when they take McCain signs in some cases.

Isn't this brownshirt style.

i stopped by our mccain office but there was nothing with palin’s name on it available.

they did have several mccain lawn signs that had been defaced by liberals.

We’ve hasd the same trouble here in SE TN...

I put mine in the garage at night,

and put it out early in the morning...

Bit of a bother but it’s just for 3 more weeks...

Driving through Bucks County, PA recently, I spotted a large handmade wooden sign that says: Obama - why are you trying to deny my free speech?

The goons are at it everywhere.

If you remember, during last election it was found that members of the teacher’s union were being paid a bounty for every Bush/Cheney sign they stole. It was a big problem in the south end of the county. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were at it again. If I were you I’d send a letter to the Daily Record reminding them. This is business as usual for that side of the ticket.

There’s a local black church here that has a LARGE Obama campaign sign right in front. And when I say large, I mean 4 foot by 6 foot (or so I estimate). Wonder what their tax exempt status.. I can tell you what it SHOULD be.

Same in our town (SE PA). McCain signs stolen or defaced while Obama signs are never touched...

I have had 3 signs stolen, two of them creamed with vaseline.

I don’t understand why they think this will win them an election. Just like trying to influence the polling results in the last weeks before the election. What do they think they are going to get from that? Even if every poll was very much in his favor, a poll is not an election.

Two days ago I went to the Palin rally in Richmond. That evening I put up my lawn sign, and gave one to my neighbor who had been waiting for one.

24 hours later his sign was gone. Mine is still there... for now.

Here’s a little tip that I found helpful. After putting up your sign squirt some axle grease all around the perimeter.

Just a nice little gift for anyone who’d like to help themselves to it.

I was at a McCain rally in Gainesville Florida and got some signs, the man begged me to take my sign in at night.

If you need more, please let me know.

We've only lost one so far in Goochland County, but we're known to be armed here. :)

[impeachedrapist]

Yeah. If it’s still there tonight, I might bring it inside. Or I might rig up a little surprise for any intruders.

I want to take the opportunity here to condemn Janine Giambalvo. Her criticism of the Obama supporter who stole her McCain sign could promote hatred against Obama. Everybody, please, please, just let the stealing, the vandalism, the vote fraud, the in-your-face bullying, the Commie associations, and all other forms of abuse from Team Obama slide. Pointing them out could stir up hatred in America.

[impeachedrapist]

Thanks much for the kind offer. But I’ll go by the nearest HQ later this week, though.

After putting up your sign squirt some axle grease all around the perimeter.

That black hi-moly grease they use for CV joints would be even better. The stuff gets down into the pores, is a real pain to wash off and has a very distictive odor.

“Black” churches don’t have to follow the same rules as everyone else. And OJ SHOULD have gotten off even if he’s guilty.

[MrB]

Poison Ivy resin on the sign.

[just me]

Four of us in row had our signs stolen.. Now we bring them in when it gets dark.... Michigan...
