the need to vent...

This morning I awoke to see my Obama sign tore up and in pieces - lying in my neighbor's yard. I live in a rural area with people who are definitely not in love with Obama. I went to the neighbors and read them the riot act about my signs, my political views, and my property! I am so sick of this crap! If it happens again, and I warned them of this, I will go to the Sheriff's Dept. where my husband (ex-cop) knows the Sheriff quite well. Any suggestions about what to do better or next?

time they have done something like this - and they have been caught before in previous elections. I know I am making an assumption, but when it walks and quacks like a duck...........

Doesn't make sense that whomever destroyed the sign would leave the remains in his/her own yard.

No one's going to be able to do anything if you can't prove who the culprit is and since you indicate that many neighbors are in the anti-Obama camp, it's not going to be easy to prove who's doing it.

that says for every destroyed sign you will donate x amount to the reelect President Obama campaign.

"Every time you destroy one of my Obama signs, that means I'll spend more money on the Obama campaign to get a replacement."
