SOMEBODY STOLE MY RON PAUL SIGNS

[kathy88]

That video of the guy in Wisconsin was EPIC

Anyway, it was probably someone who doesn't like Ron or the city who had it taken down.

It was. I laughed so hard!

This was really frustrating over the 2008 campaign. I had about 10 signs removed from where I had put them. Of course, I just replaced them, so, jokes on them!

Last week I found that my old faded Ron Paul sign had been replaced by a brand new shiney one in my yard. There was also a Paul sign put up high on a telephone pole (where you'd have to get a ladder to reach it) that has been up ever since.
It felt like I had a visit from the tooth fairy.

Nice!

Maybe they'll give me my signs back tomorrow. Anyways I have forty more signs on the way.. Whats the best strategy? Spreading them throughout the area so they can't steal them all in one day??

un many places if it is in the state right of way it will be removed.... I lived in a town where alot of houses were within the right of way so the rule was "if its not naied to the house... the state can have it removed" yes.... they removed one that was nailed to a woord pile.... that person was a town official and still was not allowed to keep it..... most states have a policy you can pick up the signs at a central depo///// we use to get tons back that way... call the local dmv and ask where you can pick up Rons

For those who were not around during Paul's 2008 run, some on the forums found this to be effective. It's what I use.

I cant say with certainty that the reason is my Ron Paul car magnets, but I know since my employer moved me to the location out at a shopping mall my car has been keyed twice. The mall happens to be in a heavy urban area, and people around here still see Ron as 'that racist', so it wouldnt be a stretch to imagine.

Eek! I saw someone with a Ron Paul bumper sticker last week and slapped one of the large mangets on their car. I sure as heck hope they didn't get keyed!

crisco to smear around the edges of the sign to make it yucky to take?

Correcto.

Sign stealing was an issue last go-around.

Although Crisco is cheaper. Not sure if crisco is very water-proof though.

I had two signs stolen from my yard as well, down here in Sarasota, FL.

My friend who is in the same neighborhood had a large 14' x 8' painted Ron Paul sign in his front yard. He received a citation on his door from Sarasota County saying he was "Blocking public right of way" and that he was to "remove the blockage immediately". Again, it was in the middle of his front yard.

maybe a little paint trap will teach them yard thieves a lesson

Not a bad idea. Spread some dog doo around the signs.
