7. You can buy one with a flash for $70. Or one with night vision for $130.

The one with the flash needs to be mounted high up in a tree where vandals can't steal it after they see the flash.

2. A crime of opportunity?

maybe someone wanted it for themselves.

Try slathering it with Vaseline. At least they will regret the theft next time.

3. My neighbor had both of his Obama signs stolen...

...One if the front yard and one in the back yard--which backs to a very busy street.

I chuckled to myself when I saw that he had made a HUGE sign to replace the stolen one. It's on
solid wood board that he painted white--with big black letters.

It's at least 3' x 5 and it says,

Obama: Real Change
Biden: A Real VP

6. Tanglefoot is the solution....honestly

Put it on the edges... the sign stealer will destroy their clothes, their cars interior, and hopefully their hair!
