I think the desperation they are feeling now propels them to do even more insane things than they'd usually do. They're feeling absolutely powerless so stealing someone's sign is the only thing that makes them feel like their lives aren't spiraling out of control. Just my psycho-analysis.

Mix the two ingredients together, apply to the sign (do all this with the gloves on), all the way round.

Put a sign under the sign that says "SMILE! You're on CANDID CAMERA!"

Coat the edges of your signs with vaseline!! chances are they will drop it with a quickness!!

my neighbors signs kept getting vandalised and or stolen,they put on the vaseline and although the signs has been found lying in their yard none have been taken since!!!
