I wrote a note and put it in a stake next to it saying the same thing this sign says and it stopped.

We replaced them and moved them away from the sidewalk and closer to the house. We also put up warning signs describing the penalties in Arizona for political sign crime. An additional warning sign says we will donate $100 to Biden EVERY TIME a sign is stolen.
So far, no vandalism.
Here's what they looked like before they were stolen:

That means that someone stealing a sign or vandalizing it has knowingly trespassed. So far, I've never had a sign messed with by anyone. Democrats outnumber Republicans in my neighborhood, too.
