(definitely NOT mine... ) Every time I walk by with my pup, I harbor thoughts of what I would LIKE to do. But, all I'd ever do is extend my middle finger in that direction. Ignoring the ethical/moral issues for the moment, I just don't get people who risk being charged with theft or vandalism. Honestly, why would anyone?

Most of us find the current impotus completely abhorrent, but people have a right to put a sign in their yard, just as we have the right to put signs supporting Biden in ours.

steals your vote.

Strength and fortitude to all of us to make it through November.
(And if that is running on empty, try smearing the sign with Vaseline. I hear it realllllly aggravates sign thieves!)

edge of the porch roof to replace it. It will be about 4 times the size of the sign.

I also made another donation.

I'm in deep red country, but I've only seen one Trump sign so far and it was on a small business here in town.

I am very aware of that, so I do not have one. I had a "BLACK LIVES MATTER" sign stolen over night. That person will not bear a a Biden/Harris sign under any circumstances, I'm quite sure.

That is a felony, even a fake camera will stop them. A fake camera is only about $10.00, they even have lights to full the thief.

A real camera would of course be better, nothing like being able to show the police a video of the thief.

Most of the time, it's political volunteers that do this. It's thuggery plain and simple. In Louisville last election they caught a guy with a pickup truck full of signs. Him and his accomplices had become notorious for grabbing Hillary signs. The got off. Presidential races are the worst.

Funny thing though, no one has a Trump sign out... They must figure KY is a gimme. But he's also the most despised president I've seen so maybe they are ashamed to even put anything out for fear of people labeling them and marking them for the trash they are!

They're about $45, and install it in a discrete location watching the sign. You can turn the video over to local law enforcement.

Then put up another sign next to the ByeDon sign that reads, "Every time you steal this sign I send the Biden/Harris campaign another $25. They thank you for the contribution."
