You don't know what "juice" means. As I said, get out more.
It doesn't matter whose sign is there.

Putting it out 8 times and expecting a different result is insane, and local resources should not be spent to conduct surveillance on your unoccupied property to 'protect' you right to be stupid. I don't care what the sign says.

It is not unusual lately for middle aged women to be the vandals. I have not met an oddly angrier group of people - a woman with a clipboard came up to my house and started yelling about something and I just closed the door, another was arrested for illegally putting up traffic signs and cones in a subdivision, and another for spray painting the street. I don't think the root of this is really politics but unhappiness in general, as a middle aged woman myself I can write on blogs or join action groups, but I cannot see acting like a rebellious teen or screaming at strangers or shunning people to be effective activism, more like immaturity or mental issues. My friends wife will not join us at a group dinner because some of the group are conservative - that is bad too, she cant even be at the same table. I'm sad for people like this but that is their choice.

Get over yourselves. It isn't always about you and your rights. Sometimes it's about outright stupidity.
There is nothing in the Constitution that defends stupid.
There is something in the Constitution that protects private property.

Then he should do what HE can to protect his property. For example, if sign stealing is a problem that you have had 8 times, go out and take the sign in at night or when the property is unoccupied. Put it out when you can be there to watch it.

That would be the first sensible line of defense, rather than expecting local law enforcement to guard your property while you behave carelessly and stupidly, drawing those abominable, property destroying liberals that are running amuck in this rural area.

Two things:

1. God helps those that help themselves.
2. You can't fix stupid.

He helps them by letting them hunt and use his property and they help him. He can put up whatever signs he wants on his property. He can get whatever help is available to stop the illegal behavior against his property. Why would police not want to catch the jerks who repeatedly trespass and violate the law in their community. Do you not know at all how small towns work? People look out for each other, there may not be much crime and they want to know who is causing any problems. It is not OPs fault people are vandalizing. Using that mentality if your house is burglarized its your fault for having things people want to steal.

They're not trespassing if it's someone who the OP admitted to allowing on his property. So there goes that theory. Then again, this is a work of fiction.

While I agree with most of what you're saying in this thread, inviting someone into your home or onto your property one, or even a handful of times doesn't make them welcome in perpetuity.

interesting.

so anyone you've ever allowed to enter your house or apartment is welcome to come there any time, no matter what.

seems odd.
