"$1,000 Reward," say the signs he will put up at the public marina this weekend, "for information leading to the positive identification of the Right Wing Trespassing Thief who climbed onto my boat, and stole my ... flag."
Pope, as you probably can tell, is irked. A man's boat -- a 36-foot sloop to be exact -- is more than his castle. "It's his country," Pope says. "You just don't board someone's boat without permission."
And there's the matter of the 2-foot-by-3-foot flag that Pope says someone cut down and stole from the vessel, moored at Shilshole, the week of Sept. 16.
It wasn't an American flag, though what the flag said represents the very free speech the Stars and Stripes symbolizes.
Pope's flag was white with a blue stripe. It had two words -- "Impeach Bush."
