Where I live, alot of democratic or Obama supporters are having their Obama/anti McCain lawn signs stolen. Do you think this election is causing some of them to go off the deep end enough to start stealing signs from people's property?
There's a woman up the street who's had her Obama sign stolen 3 times. She left a note next to the new one "Please think twice before you steal this sign again;God is watching you." LOL.

Republicans go to great lengths at keeping opposition and news from the political eye.

A kid kept getting his Obama sign stolen so he put up a webcam and blogged about it. Now there are hundreds of people watching to make sure if anyone steals it again they get caught.

Obama Sign CCTV 1, Ustream.TV: Here's the story. We got an Obama sign a few months ago and it was. Election,News,Politics

It happens with EVERY election...and unless there is actual proof of the political affiliation of the caught and convicted perpetrator it is meaningless....same goes for the vandalism of signs and offices.....NO one knows who did it.

Are Republicans going off the deep end? When haven't they.....

Yup, sign taken off my car (and at least one other, that I know of) in Prescott weekend before last! I love the message from the poster who not only bought another sign, but advertised that the "opossition" is causing him to send more money to Obama!

No problem on my street, so far, have Obama yard sign, as does my neighbor. . . . one McCain sign around the corner, and another, Ron Paul sign one street over. . . . not much political interest, I guess!

Maybe it's Obama supporters who want a sign of their own but don't want to pay for it. That makes more sense to me.

My whole neighborhood had McCain signs stolen a few weeks back. It's not limited to either party.

Not as a Presidential candidate, but Fox Business channel seems to like to hear his opinion on the economic issues lately.

No one is stealing his signs because there's no market in them. We make our own if we have to.
