Figured out who stole my Kerry signs the morning after look here

A promotion by two radio stations offering $1 for each campaign yard sign listeners turned in has upset the Sedgwick County Republican and Democratic parties and a few candidates.

People motivated by two radio stations' rewards of more than $5,000 in cash and prizes led people to yank signs from private property, party leaders and candidates said today.



The idea was to help clean up the political signs left on public property around Wichita the day after the election, said Barry McKay, program director for The Buzz 105.3 FM, one of the stations involved.

Sedgwick County parties combined received more than 120 calls from people complaining about missing signs. The problem, political leaders said, is that some residents paid $2 or $3 to purchase presidential campaign signs. Many did so with hoping that they'd become political collectibles and local candidates, who spent thousands of dollars on yard signs, often reuse them.
