    I think I would definitely put up a new sign and smear the edges with something gross (plenty ideas comes to mind) payback for those that try to steal it again!

    Exactly, your property but don't subject us by exposing us to that garbage. How about I post my large 5 by 8 foot image of Lucifer, the prince of darkness on my lawn? I mean, its my property and its my constitutional right. :devil2:

    I wanted to get one "Hummer owners for Obama" but I got lazy.

    That video is hilarious. If the woman could be identified, can the owner charge her with trespassing and theft?

    Well, considering that the owners filed a police report, I would assume that yes, she could press charges.

    I love how she tried to look casual when someone was driving by. "whistle, whistle, just pulling up my socks...nothing to see here..."

    I will say, I have seen some high-schoolers roaming Broadlands earlier than 2pm. I'm not sure if they can do what I was allowed to in my HS daze - if I scheduled a study hall last period, I got to go home early (only Seniors got that privilege).

    Not to spoil the fun but.... this would be a good time to remind everyone that political signs need to be removed from your property immediately after the election...

    Thank you

    Good reminder Maureen.

    I have one question: what about all those signs along the roads? Who is responsible to taking them down, and who is held accountable when they are not removed?

    I wish someone would get fined or jailed for not picking up all those signs by the roads.
