Had our Biden Harris sign stolen from our lawn last night

I hope they have another down at Democrat headquarters. Thinking about greasing the next one up with vaseline or something so the person steeling it will get themselves all messy.

1. Vaseline is what I've seen some people suggesting.

It's cheap and harmless, but messy.

2. What does Putin use on the tips of umbrellas? That shit works. Polonium? nt

3. Try lubing it with Tanglefoot insect barrier (nomtoxic)

Said to be ridiculously sticky & very hard to get off! Smallish can has brush attached to lid, like rubber cement. Only $7-8.

15. Oh my gosh I have some of that stuff!

We use it to keep ants out of beehives. That would be cruel. It is extremely sticky!

[SheltieLover]

16. Awesome!

[Freddie]

4. Roofing tar around the edges

Really hard to get off, and smells.

7. Ooooh

Good one!

5. Get a camera or sit up one night and catch em red handed. Or hire a Private Eye.

That drive from Florida is going to make me way too expensive.

Someone else on DU suggested for a stolen sign.

8. They do this to us all the time.

Back in '08, our Obama signs kept getting stolen. It started with one. Then two. Then four. Then TEN. Then we got the big highway momma jomma and used spray foam to anchor it into the ground. THAT one stayed.

9. Vick's Formula or Preparation H works!

It takes a long time to get the smell off your hands!

10. Not that I really know anything about this personally, but I think someone---whose name I

can't seem to recall---once said: "Wear disposable gloves and smear dog poop around all edges on the back side."

And then, of course, one could always use capsaicin---pepper oil---and hope the thief has to take a leak right after stealing the sign.

11. Rub it with poison ivy or you could put some

On your sign

12. We tape ours in the

Window facing the street.

13. Roast some hot red peppers in oil, as many as possible.

Mix the oil in the Vaseline and then apply the mix to the sign. They trespassed on your property, so them itching like crazy isn’t something that you should worry about.

14. Just Post A Sign Next To It Saying.......

..........."For every sign stolen, we make another donation to the Biden-Harris campaign." Which is kinda true if you buy another sign, but it alerts them to the fact that they're achieving the exact OPPOSITE of what they're hoping for by stealing the sign in the first place.

Either that or, "Smile, MAGAt, you're on camera!" It's my dream to catch one of these sign thieves on camera and then post their picture to a neighborhood-wide site like NextDoor, or put it on a flyer that gets distributed to everyone in the neighborhood.

Thankfully, my Biden sign has survived several weeks in my front lawn, and my Biden-Harris signs (I ordered 2, just in case one of them "disappears&quot should be on the way any time now.

17. We live in a tiny neighborhood and have cameras all around

the house. Doubt they would be willing to risk it.
