I knew before I clicked this that it wouldn't be stolen Trump signs.
I knew before I clicked thay whoever stole the signs is an idiot
That's what op said.
Yeah, I just see paint thrown on them around me.
.
I wonder if people know that every time someone has to buy another replacement sign, that's a $20 donation to Harris's campaign.

Stealing campaign signs seems like such a stupid thing to do. Yes, there is a cost to the campaign for each one, but the cost is low when they buy them in bulk. It's not like stealing the signs changes who people intend to vote for, either.
But with how easy it is for homeowners to install surveillance things (these trackers as well as video), it's only a matter of time before you get caught.
But I guess when MAGA sends their people, they're not sending their best.
...they're not sending their best.
No no. They are. This is their best.
These are just the pawns. Their best are the ones behind the curtain.
Years ago I knew a guy who was going around his very affluent community stealing Obama signs during his first run. He was a business owner, in his 50s, and fucking loaded. He was caught repeatedly and just kept paying the fines for it.
My guy, you're in Texas. It wasn't going to Obama. He just had unlimited money to pay the fines so he was showing how childish he was and how much he hated that others had a different opinion.
You'd hope that repeated fines for the same infraction would eventually cause those fines to start escalating.
Do they have a best?
Most likely the 3 people in their think tank who know fully well what the end goal of the MAGA movement is.

That's fucking weird guys, honestly 😂
Let's say every home had 3 signs.
That's 20 victims.
Could he then get convicted of 20 counts of theft?
Short answer, yes. Slightly longer answer yes but there might be statutory limits on the cumulative fine as well as it depends what kind of a mood the prosecutor is in. Odds are he'd just receive a slap on the wrist, a nominal fine, and be told to stop being a dumbass.
If I was the judge, I would hit him with something a little more creative. Like making him voulenteer at a Harris/Walz campaign location for a day or something.
No because the cops are corrupt and won’t pursue charges against “one of the good ones.”
IANAL,
I think cops wouldn't be involved here anymore, other than to collect more evidence. Police aren't the people who conduct trials. They just file reports. They may also be involved with the prosecution if the state is the prosecutor.
They can charge them because she had her name and address on it. Others can also press charges if there's some identifying mark on it. So if you have one, from now on, just put an asterisk or line or something on it, just in case.
little dick drawing in the corner. "Yes officer, mine is the one with the cock graffiti"
"yes officer mines the one with the self portrait real size cock graphitti in the corner"
The only time I'll be cheering for Apple. Good work detective. I guess they should have been glad they didn't get shot.
THEY'RE STEALING THE DOGS! THEY'RE STEALING THE CATS! THEY'RE STEALING THE SIGNS IN SPRINGFIELD!
How do you steal a yard sign and not notice that there's an airtag on it?
When confronted, the young man's mother admitted that the signs in the trunk of the car belonged to her son, who she described as "just an idiot."
Probably in the board
In a grab-and-run situation there isn’t much time for careful inspection.
One time, when I was young, I had political campaign fever and stole some signs out of somebody's yard.
The signs were for Rick Santorum though, so I'm hoping the universe forgives me.
Stealing political yard signs? No.
Marking up political yard signs? Yes.
On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had "FELON" and "RAPIST" graffitied on it. That's a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.
It was quite respectful, actually... It still very clearly said, "Trump/Vance" it was just given some flair and it wasn't even untrue 👍
I saw one trump vance sign that was covered with STOP TRUMP
On behalf of the non-Pennsyltucky parts of the state, I thank you for your service and absolve you of your past crimes against signs.
This is something my former step-brother would do back when he was in high school (he actually started a "young republicans" club at his high school, back when Obama was running the first time).
Someone was stealing signa on our street and I wondered if this would be viable. Neat!
