Bwahahaha Florida GOP candidate and his wife get caught on tape stealing signs

[sufrommich]

Politico's Jonathan Martin brings us news of how hectic the election season is getting in Florida. Campaign signs are being stolen -- by actual candidates! And other candidates are dispatching people to sit by themselves in the woods at night to catch them with infrared cameras.

Here's the back story: Greg Brown and Doug Broxson are both vying for the GOP nomination for the State House of Representatives, serving Florida's District 1. Jason Broxson, son of Doug, put up some campaign signs on the side of the road. He then trained a camera on the signs and went to hide in the bushes. At least someone in District 1 had something fun planned that evening!

Lo and behold, who should arrive on the scene but Greg Brown and his wife, who immediately began pulling up signs and taking them away. Jason Broxson got it all on tape, and now the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office has launched an investigation.

When asked about this by reporters, Greg Brown basically said, "What, no big deal!"

I had 2 Obama signs stolen during the presidential elections, my sister had 1 stolen. I've never had any local election signs stolen. I do think people who steal political signs are pathetic.

1. Around here, local (Township) elections are where the sign-stealing is really a problem (nt).
