Asking all Freepers In AZ all Trump Pence signs are disappearing. Most of them overnight, some last 2-3 days. None last a week. It must be an organized effort to get all the Trump signs. It is not just some vandalism as usual, it is an effort to seek and steal all the signs. Apparently some guys running around in the night? I heard it is statewide. Does this happens anywhere else? I heard Texas? What to do?
I could tell you what to do, but then the authorities would know it was me. Think real hard about it.
So far my neighbor’s sign has survived. I’m going to pick one up next week from the office downtown.
In 2016 someone stole my Hillary for Prison sign. Of course I live in PA.
Quite the opposite. I’ve been seeing more Trump signs appearing, as if from out of thin air.
All over the place.
Well there are things you could do to the signs but seriously sign stealing is election tampering if you want tell the police and let them know the locations where the signs where taken and if you really wanna live dangerously put new ones out and hold a stakeout
And then, I replace them asap.
Also, motion light to at least make them think they've been busted.
Almost no Trump signs in SE PA. People have bricks thrown through their windows.
It’s a good sign (pun intended).
1) Add lighting.
2) Add 2nd sign (also well lit): “If you can read this, you are in range.”
OR
2-alt) Add 2nd sign (also well lit): “Video Surveillance Active”
Optional: Add video surveillance.
I’m assuming these are the same type you’ve posted about over the past couple of weeks, that are being put in the right-of-way?
You can’t booby-trap them, because you have to think about children, animals and innocent people.
I know some people have suggested some foul-smelling sprays, which were rejected due to cost and lack of staying power. My personal recommendation is this: https://www.predatorpeestore.com/skunk-um.html I believe you mix with water so it’ll go a long way.
Other than that, there’s not a lot you can do: you have the right to put the signs in the right-of-way, other people have the right to remove them.
“1” may be subject to local codes, esp. if close to street or road, depending on how repressive your area is. But, election signs might be exempt?
suggestion set a trap and film it while confronting the person...do not do this alone have lots of witnesses.
Hugh and series, when signs start disAPPering.
Are you loggin in?
Any links to back up your claims?
FWIW, I’ve not heard of Trump signs disappearing, anywhere.
Oh, and....welcome to FR.
I was out and about today and only saw one Trump/Pence sign. I think many are afraid to put them out.
Same here.
We were on the highways of TX, this weekend, and saw Trump signs EVERYWHERE.
Not ONE Hiden sign.
Sorry I accidentally mailed you. I just put my sign out today. I also got a big bumper sticker on my truck that says “my dogs love Donald J. Trump.”
It may not keep them from disappearing, but whoever takes them will not have an easy time getting the gel off of their hands and clothes - not to mention what it will do to the interior of their car...
Bird Repellent Gel goes on clear, and has no effect on the readability of your signs.
Haven’t seen any thefts/vandalism yet here in OK. There may be some in OKC and Tulsa, but if so, they haven’t made the news as yet.
One curious and kind of cool thing, though: In many places, there are no Trump or Biden signs, but plenty of “God 2020” signs.
