Three "tp" signs appeared overnight in the park area where I walk my dog

I have to admit I was just filled with rage to see them in my neighborhood let alone a public park!

They were just plastic bag sleeves over the top of formed wire. I took the sleeves off of the wire and used them to pick up dog poop and threw them away

1. They are technically illegal in NH on public property or right of way along the side of the road

Although technically the only person who is allowed to remove them in my state is the police or the owner of the sign.

I probably would have done what you did though.

I do not know the laws in your state.

2. A tp sign appeared in our front yard over night. We removed it before bringing in the paper.

My wife and I were in a small village in Mexico and the banos had no tp... my very resourceful wife used the her copy of "The Watchtower" newspaper that had been passed out by a Jehovah's Witness we had just met on the street...

I suspect it may have been someone that was at the rally last night.

9. I have removed signs on city/county property adjacent to walking trails

and put them in the trash barrels.

I would NEVER touch a sign for any candidate on private property, but the city has been taking these down and spray painting over stickers on public property, so I feel fully justified in doing so.

11. I would never touch one on private property either ...

but on public property I don't feel I should have to see it. When I take my dog out again I'll collect the wire frames and put them in recycling.

12. I feel the EXACT same way. I'd never mess with something on personal property.

I wouldn't want someone to do it to me, and hell, I'd rather know if one of my neighbors is a Trumpkin anyhow.

But you put those giant Trump/Pence signs on PUBLIC property, and they're fair game to me.
