Solving the stolen yard sign problem (one pic)

[livetohike]

We have a lot of road frontage to our property. Last night, someone stole all of our Obama/Biden yard signs. Today, I went into town and bought some rally signs. Here they are up on the trees. The pic only shows a few, but we posted 20 of them:

1. I saw this last weekend, too

Someone had nailed the plastic part of their Obama sign to a tree. I thought then that they'd had theirs stolen once too often and had come up with a good alternative plan.

Your property is beautiful, btw. Love the signs!

5. Thanks Neecy

:hi: We'll see how long this lasts. My husband used a ladder to get up that high. I guess one could stand on another's shoulders to do it, if they wanted to tear them down :shrug:. It's heavy Republican here (north central PA).

2. Great solution! Does anyone know if there are people

stealing McCain campaign signs too? Is this only a republican tactic?

4. I ran one over yesterday with my car

It was on public property. I also took out an Inhofe sign, also on public property.

23. Road rage with a purpose!

I like it!

6. A neighbor down the road still has her McCain sign standing

so at least in my little corner of the universe, someone was bent on stealing Obama signs.

3. Great idea

It's so childish to steal signs. Sure, when I passed the "Women For McCain" sign yesterday while I was taking a walk, I rolled my eyes and thought of snotty remarks...but I would never take someone's property. It's just so unnecessary and wrong.

9. I wouldn't do it either (but I have thought of it)

:-). Our house sits back from the road about 500', so we never heard anyone down there last night.

7. Thanks! Someone was asking me at an Obama

meeting what the suggestions were on DU to avoid getting their sign stolen.

11. The woman who volunteers at the Dem. campaign office

had her garage egged last night. She had rally signs up on the garage doors. I just started volunteering down at the office this week and I've heard some sad stories of what is happening to Obama supporters homes. This area is so redneck....

17. I know...it's heinous. Those Obama signs sure

look good up there in the trees..how did they get up there?:)

19. My husband took a ladder down to the road

We have an extension ladder too, but that might put the signs too high and out of view :shrug:.

21. No, they're perfect and the best part is

they won't get stolen by sneak theives.

8. Good for you

Awesome idea!! Where do you live... that looks beautiful.

12. Thanks. We live about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, PA

next door to a state park.

[stuntcat]

i hope those shitheads come back and see

they'll see how quick you outdid their pitiful bullshit.

[livetohike]

14. Me too. I figured I would do it right away.

Town is a 20 mile drive to get these rally signs, but I had to do it. Even though I was just down there yesterday volunteering at the Dem. campaign office.

10. Excellent tactic...and a lovely yard...

[livetohike]

16. Thanks!

:hi:

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. Well.... I guess that will work for a while.....

At least until the Repukes with chainsaws show up....

huh huh huh huh

[livetohike]

18. Oh....I did think of that

What the picture doesn't show is I have a neighbor across the road who live there/have a gift shop. They didn't see the yard sign stealers, but I think they might notice a chainsaw user :-).

[Lord Helmet]

15. ha ha, I like that strategy

[livetohike]

20. I'll see how long these signs last

I can always go buy some more :-).

[barack the house]

22. Great work.=)_

[livetohike]

24. Thanks!

We live in an area that gets a lot of weekend visitors (cabins and parks). I definitely wanted to have something posted by tomorrow.
