I have never felt the need to display a political candidates sign in my yard, or anywhere for that matter until now. I had the opportunity to pick up a Trump sign and thought hmmmm maybe I should get 2 in case the first one was taken and sure as [bleep] it was! I don't know if thefact it was taken or that I kibd of expected it bothers me more. I am going to put the spare up now and go get several more! And put trail cams on them too!
Pick up a "weed burner" electric fence charger while you're at it, one of those that's good for about a mile of wire. The next vandal will do some dance steps John Travolta couldn't match! Make a video of the show and post it on one of the liberal social media platforms!
You could also duct tape some razor blades to the sign framework. That's how we used to keep our fender skirts from being stolen back in the 1950's.
One of those sign thieves got caught & prosecuted around here a few years ago by the sign owners trailcam. I'd say put a cam out in an inconspicuous spot. We don't put political lawn signs out because my wife is afraid of ticking off someone. I bet I see about 10 Trump signs or flags for every 1 or 2 Biden signs but it's still a little early for political lawn signs around here. Good luck with it.
Had a young fellow bring his pocket knife and started to cut up one of my trump flags, got him on camera and I posted no trespassing signs before putting up the flags. I confronted him and he was waving his knife at me but the 870 was hot just in case. Cops got him and that just added another crime to his list which I was told was 8 charges. That will teach this dumb azz
