Here's a suggestion. Get two more and put on them; "if you steal or deface my signs", I'll get double the amount!

I'd try to set up some kind of loud alarm and then shoot the asshole with paintballs.

Took the dog for a walk and came back to it all shredded in the yard with the wire all balled up. All in broad daylight.

coating the signs with a really hot pepper solution...they may get the sign, but they will pay the price.

threatened by Hillary! I'm guessing, deep down, they know, they feel she's going to win.

But wearing thick gloves you do not mind disposing, rub poison Ivy or Oak over the sign, especially near the bottom where someone would grab it. Really rub it in. Urushiol is the oil that caused the outbreak and it hangs around a long time. Ironically, it is especially concentrated in the plant in the fall.

Again, I would NEVER to this. Nor recommend it.

But realize that law enforcement will never give justice for this admittedly minor act of vandalism.
