staples through your yard signs

[sandnsea]

Can you shoot staples through them so that anybody who touches them will get poked and not be able to grab them? Staple gun staples, know what I mean? Would that work?

1. If the staples are long enough.

Small nails would work too. Good idea!

2. I would think a nice contact poison would do the trick....

And help clean the gene pool at the same time.

3. I still like the "poison ivy around my K/E yard sign" approach!

but that's just me :)

[popstalin]

4. Or some kind of sticky stuff that is hard to remove. n/t

[sherilocks]

5. Attach a rat trap somewhere on the

sign and don't put on any lights. When the SOB screams, shoot him....with a camera that is.

6. or a booby trap of some sort- like paint ball kind of stuff n/t

7. You could get sued. If some idiot - even though they're breaking the

law - gets hurt trying to destroy your sign on you yard, you could get sued. So be careful on which idea you end up using.

How about that ink they use in robberys where it's red or something and won't come off.

15. Lived in Montana too long I guess

Learned not to do things half way up there. :)

8. barbed wire

someone else posted a while ago that his dad was putting barbed wire in the fold, so that people would cut themselves when they grabbed the sign.

... not that I'm advocating that or anything ...

Just how expensive are those little "First Alert" alarms that shriek loudly when something's moved?

[sandnsea]

13. First Alert alarms, good idea too

Not very expensive at all, I don't think. And I think there's some battery operated ones too.

[caledesi]

17. About $20.00 for First Alert alarm. nt

9. think messy -- not causing physical damage

like, say, permanant doublstick tape on the sign and on the stick.

or -- if you're in the south and they still have those sticky bug things (those awful strips that bugs stick to) -- ......

[sandnsea]

12. It won't

One grab and one ow won't cause any damage at all. But it will stop them cold. The only way they could get hurt is if THEY choose to keep trying to take the sign. All the other messy suggestions won't stop anybody.

10. Crisco and cayenne pepper.

The Crisco makes it hard to remove. The cayenne pepper ... well, if Mister/Missus Rethug rubs his/her eyes or any other mucous membrane (even the area around his wee-wee/her mee-mee), he/she will be in AGONY! No permanent injury, but BOY will they be sorry they ever stooped to THEFT on behalf of their half-wit leader.

11. did mine up with decorative duct tape and sewing pins

Think steel cactus. No missing signs for me anymore.

14. Some one from our town

Put a video camera in his window and a sign near the Kerry sign that said "smile your on candid camera" the visitor has not been back...

16. Here is an earlier thread on this topic. I'm not sure what all is in

it so you will need to look yourself.
