Well, I spoke too soon -- someone stole my Obama sign

[melody]

I was just posting yesterday that no one had stolen my Obama sign and voila ... last night somebody stole it.

They just can't take it now they know he is going to win.

[mikelgb]

1. Maybe it's just broke overzealous Obama supporters

:evilgrin:

[melody]

8. Either way, I think it's hysterically funny

They can't take the truth so they try to hide it.

[d_b]

2. they can steal all the signs they want

but they can't steal the inevitab...oh wait.

[carpediem]

3. someone stole ours last night too! I had 2 others so I

immediately put another one up when I realized it was gone this morning, probably really pissed them off. We live in Sensenbrenner's district so I expected this would probably happen. It lasted since August 1 though so that isn't too bad. If they take this one, the next one is going up higher and getting booby-trapped!

9. Booby-trapped =

spike pit, trip wire attached to shotgun. :D

[texastoast]

4. Put up another one

I've had three bumper stickers stolen. I bought 5, and I will buy 10 if I have to. Fuck those anti free speech wacks.

5. you must learn if you want to keep it.....

to bring it in at night...I would go look through the bushes and dumpsters in the neighborhood. I would two back up this time with a small sign stating that stealing a sign is only going to make you work twice as hard to make sure Obama Wins.

6. well, I guess it all evens out because. . .

today I saw a young woman stop her car and steal the only McCain sign I've seen here in a very blue county in NC! As I drove by, I slowed down . . . she looked kind of startled when I snuck up on her in my silent Prius until I rolled down the window and just said, "oops!" She laughed and threw that thing in the trunk.

I don't advocate stealing folks' signs but in this case it was kinda fun to watch that sign drive away in a car with a "I love my country but not my government" bumpersticker.

7. Time for the habanero pepper puree!

Be sure you wear gloves when you apply it on your next sign!

[writes3000]

10. I have mine dead-center of my living room window.

I toyed with putting it on top of my house, LOL.

[stevil]

11. If it makes you feel any better,

I have seen only ONE McCain sign (not even one sticker) in my fair multi-city area, lots of Obama stuff everywhere. Disclaimer - Maybe because I'm in one of the largest Gay & Lesbian communities in California, but full of lots of older Republicans.

[seabeyond]

12. republican handbook 101. steal, steal, steal signs. they think it is just part of the game. thef t

stealing. thou shalt not steal. but of course they justify this sin too......

[rufus dog]

13. So tell me if this is bad.

I have two signs on order. (one for backup) I have an office in my garage and work or post past midnight. If I hear someone out there I can make it out before they get away.

[Clio the Leo]

14. I have a "Hot Chicks Dig Obama" bumper sticker....

.... and I live in the south. I see "rebel" flags on a fairly regular basis. The way I have it figured, if I can make it to election day without anyone writing "N------ Lover" on it, it will be a moral victory. lol

[WindRiverMan]

15. Here is what you do, and old trick to keep bears out of camp

you go down to Home Depot, and buy a few of those magnetic baby alarms that scream when the door is opened. They are cheap and LOUD. You put them on the back of your sign and have the other end tied to something with twin or fishing line. When they pick up the sign, that baby squeals. Whole thing will cost you six dollars.

16. Did you remember to dip the razor blades in dog shit before you glued them to the edges?

Because if you forget to do that, they might not die. :hi:

[vanderBeth]

17. Someone else suggested it, but I think it might be the best.

[Born_A_Truman]

18. LOL--

I live in the desert on several miles of dirt roads and my driveway is 1/4 mile, so the only people who see my sign are my guests and the UPS, FedEx people and the Edison meter reader. My handyman loves it, he's for Obama.

[spanone]

19. they got one of mine too....chickenshits

20. There's a nice, environmentally friendly way to hammer these shitheads, but good

First, go to the grocery store.

Purchase 8-16 oz. of habanero chili peppers. Go home, destem the peppers and throw them in a blender, then puree them as finely as possible. Do not be foolish and taste, or touch this puree to the extent possible. Try to SMELL it as little as possible. This is the Bikini Atoll H-Bomb of peppers.

Put on rubber gloves. Heavy ones. Rub the habanero puree all over the Obama sign and its frame and reinstall. It should air dry naturally in a couple of hours. Throw gloves in hot soapy water and leave them there for a week. Then rinse them in milk.

Anyone who so much as touches the treated sign and touches their face, nose, eyes, genitals or anus afterwards will be in indescribable agony for hours and have no idea why. Nothing that can cause long term damage, but it will probably send them to the emergency room. If they manage to touch REALLY sensitive areas, they will be hitting themselves in the head with a brick to try and distract themselves from the intense pain. Some people have to be metaphorically hit over the head with a 2x4 a couple of times to modify their behavior.

Dogs and cats usually are repelled by the smell of really hot peppers and as for raccoons, fuck em. They're nothing but garbage dumping bandits and could use a lesson or two.

I also like the idea of the dog-shit treated razor blades in the side of the sign that another DUer suggested.
