    I may make a proposal to the HOA Board to ban political signs in the future.

    I do not know what is sadder, people who steal the signs or people who go to "certain lengths" to prevent/punish(?) sign stealers.

    And honestly, does anyone think the signs influence voters? Basically, all they say is "look at what team I support".

    Less likely to be stolen but more likely to be robbed. If you have this sign in your yard everyone knows you really don't own a gun.

    I wanted a sign like this - but then I realized that my neighbors do not need to know who I vote for, or what I have inside my house :)

    I liked how, this morning, her sign was tied to a tree! :pofl:

    Then, a half hour ago, it was GONE altogether!

    I don't think just because some people can't behave that we should take away everyone's freedom of expression....Personally, I don't think they influence anyone. But I don't think that's why people post them either.

    Next time - tie it to a pitbull.

    Or a hocky mom, either way.

    Aw, man... what a letdown. I was hoping it was stolen again and you'd caught it on camera.

    I figured out why people are stealing signs....

    Chick-fil-A is giving away a free chicken sandwich to everyone who turns in an election sign. One free sandwich per person. Offer ends on Saturday.
