Do the signs really matter?
More of the same. McManiac or McSocialist. I can't believe these two pieces of crap rose to the top. God help us all.

Yeah the polls should read North American Union or the Socialist Empire of Amnerica.Originally Posted by BraggSurvivor
John McCain is a good man. I theorize Obama is too, just woefully misguided and with the same vanities and vices as a typical politician.
i don't know where to begin there Chris
i guess you don't believe the stuff about McCain being a Vietnam POW traitor and collaborator ?

Obama sold out years ago - or he wouldn't be in the running.
Obama is so dirty it hurts me to even look at him.
You think he's selling out now? The clearance sale starts Jan 1, 2009. You don't see a guy with this little experience and considerable baggage gets people to bankroll him to the tune of $500 million by being a man of the people, do ya?
With McCain.....If you look closely you can see where the strings are attached.
I just wish any of the candidates were at least little pro-American.

Chris a booby trap is a good idea, but use an air horn when you make it, my neighbor had the same problem with signs in his yard and he rigged an air horn in a box at the base, when they pulled the sign the air horn went off and scared the pizz outta them. We caught them and called the police. Stealing an election sign is a criminal offense in Ohio, a misdemeanor but siteable at a fine of $65.00 bucks.
There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.
Poison Ivy, Air horn, or dye pack - none will do any real harm. Something more aggressive will land you in jail. No landmines, please.
Another possible solution, get a nice, large, yappy dog.
Also, some simple deterrents - like a motion detector that "dings" when tripped. Make sure the sound is clearly audible to the area that it protects. I added 2 to my house, and miraculously, the kids' toys stopped disappearing.
A neighbor has a sign in her yard that reads "Smile for the camera."
Lighting with a motion sensor is very effective, too.
Well... ahem... there was a lull in July & August with no one stealing the sign... then september started.
I had just given it a fresh rubdown with poison ivy. I hope the guy went directly home, rubbed his face, and then masturbated. So funny.
I had my night vision camera setup by now too. Going to get a couple more, was really easy to setup, not that expensive, works well. After the election I'll just put them in general places around my house for general security.
Made a music video for youtube with the footage

Gave the video to the police as well.
Great Vid! Too bad You can't use something more than a camera for more effect.
You need to get a video of the vandals and hand it over to the police so they can ID them and prosecute them.
That said, there is an ink (liquid I belive) that is clear in regular light. If you put it on the sign, and they get it on their hands, it is permanent and won't wash out for 30 days. Under UV light the link glows, so you will know who the perps are.
Couldn't tell you where to get it though. And I don't know how long the ink would be in a "transferable" state, i.e. liquid. Especially if it rains. But it's out there. Try looking for spy or security web sites.
You could also hook up a sound alarm that would go off if the sign was moved. It would wake you up and scare the perps off. Don't know of any commercial items like that though, except hotel door alarms. Look in the travel section of your major store for these motion alarms.
Funny video though!

Atta boy Chris! Excellent!
Booby traps are illegal, don't do something that gets you into more trouble than the perp.
That said, I like the poison ivy idea. I suggest you plant some around where the sign is, though. Don't say you smeared the stuff on the sign, you want plausible deniability that he just happened to get poison ivy-fied because the stuff is growing in that area.
Surveillance is a great idea, though often times the camera's resolution is not good enough for a positive ID. Hopefully it is somebody you know and can identify.
Good luck!

Oh I got deniability on the poison ivy. For all I know someone rubbed it on there in the dead of night to try to get me infected. Luckily for me someone else stole it before I could touch it. Those hooligans really should coordinate with each other more often.
Nice job....
sigh.... some soccer mom stole it at 11:29 tonight. She should know better.
Now I'm out of signs... gotta go get more.
Video to come.
A still photo of the woman stealing the sign blown up to poster size with the caption.
Alert! This woman is stealing political signs. If you see her, Do Not Approach. She may be mentally or emotionally unstable!
Place the posters around the neighborhood.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

But wouldn't she just go around stealing them? Post them and hang out with some video cams. I think most soccer moms can be considered mentally or emotionally unstable anyway, but that's just MHO, so....
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
I reckon those same soccer moms would think that you and I are mentally and emotionally unstable also.
