Some Liberal A-hole Stole my GWB Yard Signs

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Some Liberal A-hole Stole my GWB Yard Signs (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 10/11/2004 7:22:30 AM EDT

So early last week I finally get my W yard signs in the mail and immeditely put one in my front lawn and one in my next door neighbor's front lawn. After a day or two we both notice our crackpotty tinfoil hat wearin' liberal fvukwad neighbor from across the street isn't happy about our signs. He begins having loud conversations with other neigbors about how much he hates Bush and refuses to say "hello" to us or even make eye contact with us (which was never an issue in the past).

So yesterday my wife and I are working in the yard and we notice both the signs are missing! Some bastard stole them! We immediately suspect the guy across the street, but don't really have any proof - only speculation. Then we notice him as he leaves his house and gets into his car. He doesn't say anything to us, but he's got a big shit-eating grin on his face and looks like he thinks he's gotten away with something.

My wife gets all pissed off and tells me that we should steal his Kerry sign to get back. I told her that Republicans shouldn't stoop to that level and stealing his sign would only make us look bad. But we had to do something!

So I talk to my next door neighbor and he simply says, "well, if Wes wants to start a guerra, I'm game. I guess it's my turn to buy the next round of signs. [and give more money to GWB's campaign!] This time I'll get four: one for your yard, one for Laurie's (another neighbor) yard and two for my yard. We'll see if that pisses him off."

Then he told me, "Remember, don't let anything he does bother you. When you wake up in the morning you'll still be you . . . and he'll still be a crackpot liberal."

Now that's funny. been happening back and forth here in the GD for a while now.

neither the reps or the dems can resist the destruction of others property for very long.

good luck in the "get even" but man what a waste of time and energy.

Don't get worked up over it. Signs don't make people vote one way or another.

Put a bag of flaming dogshit on his doorstep and enjoy yourself

Had mine stolen too, replaced it with two signs and have an additional one as back up if needed.

Mine are inside the front window of the house. More of a fear from the kids than the adults as I live in a very conservative neighborhood.

Sneak over at night and put a "W" sign in his front yard......................................

We're not going to do anything to his property. But right now we're in the process of having our siding replaced. The old stuff's torn off and all that's up on the front face is the Tyvek insulation. I'm considering painting a giant 'W' on the front of the house. It'll get covered with the new siding anyways, so it won't do any permanent damage. But hopefully will annoy the hell out of my neighbor across the street.

Either way, if the signs continue to disappear, I'll just continue to buy more and keep sending more money to the campaign.

And after you videotape him stealing your signs grab a screen shot to post here and have a "Caption This" Thread. Take the pick to kinkos and have them make a sign using the screenshot and caption. And then put that on your lawn!

Dig two deep holes about 6" radius in your lawn, maybe 4 feet deep. Put some tall 4x4's in them, and pour concrete to anchor. Nail some 2x4s across. Paint a bigass sheet of plywood up as a sign. Nail it to your new holder.

This will give you a nice, repaintable sign that is nigh impossible to steal.

So, the guy is going to admit he stole the signs? "Officer, my stolen signs have pepper spray on them!'

The fucker would be laughed out of the police station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would just say I must have accidently got some on there as I had a can accidentally leak near where I had them stored.

Unless you braged about doing it, your chances of being sucessfully prosecuted would be about one in one hundred million.

I remember a few years back, a guy set up a trap to catch thepunks breaking into his garage. (boards with nails under the sills) one of the kids got hurt and they arrested the owner for "setting a trap"
never heard if he got time, fined, or what. the kid walked with no charge.
but be damn sure you know the law in your area before you statr setting traps.

his trespassing charge for stealing the signs pales in comparison of his getting back at you for setting booby traps. the civil court would love to see you defend your practice.

BTW: you're bragging about it right now.

1 in 100,000,000 . is it really worth it for a petty political sign? you'll have to make that call.
as I said, be careful.

I feel your pain I had two stolen one night a while back. Put another out and got home from knob creek yesterday and someone pulled my sign out and threw it in the yard and stole the wire frame. So I bring them in a night now and have got two more out. I think I am going to wrap them in Poision Ivy or something.

Dam Liberals dont they have a protest or something to do?

What is more important? Being at odds with a neighbor over an election for a government that doesn't give a shit about any of us as long as we keep paying the protection money

---OR---

Being on good terms with a neighbor who might actually make a difference in your life someday

?

Even a liberal POS can prevent your house from being burglarized, rescue your kid from a serious injury, or otherwise help you out in a pinch.

Take the high road, forget about the damn signs, and go make friends with the guy and see if you can convert him into being a shooter. You never know...

Governments don't have to live together, but people do. All this discord over a stupid election is a waste of time.

1) He would have to prove it was a trap

2) His injury would be temporary, not like a nail in the hand or foot.

3) IIRC, the Virignia statue on tampering with political signs is pretty severe.

Maybe so but what if the guy decides to have relations with his wife before washing his hands. Could be trouble.

wonder if the penalty for setting a trap would be higher than stealing your sign??

all you need is for that guy/woman to have an allergic reaction to your "trap" and it's you that'll pay.
should they die, well you see where the trail runs to.

as I said be careful, by no means let me tell you what to or not to do.

just a fair warning before partaking in such an Endeavour.

Good luck

Mine got ripped over the weekend too. I am going to pepper spray it this time. Not sure who did it, but I want to see them cry if they try it again.

Putting some Pepper spray repellant on a sign isn't setting a trap. It is REPELLANT! If it doesn't work very well, you can't be held responsible.

Where the fuck does the law say that if someone wants to steal your property, you have to put a card on it and a big red bow?

I'm a little confused here. This thread has used the phrase "it's a trap" about four or five times so far and I haven't seen a single Ackbar photo. What gives?

Either way, I'm not going to do anything illegal or set any traps (even though it's a funny idea). I just want to get under his skin a little.

And then of course I'll gloat my ass off when sKerry loses the election!

You aren't answering the question, and actually directly dodged it. I don't give a flying fuck about someone elses someone else, because I don't steal signs.

SHOW ME where someone got JAIL TIME for smearing nasty stuff on a sign. I want to see it. DON'T TELL ME IT CAN HAPPEN, unless you can show me where it HAS HAPPENED. I don't care about lawsuits either everybody knows that ANYBODY can sue for ANYTHING. You made a statement of criminal liability. Back it up, lightweight.

Talk to your Liberal neighbor.

Let him know about the the recent acts of tresspassing/theft.

Ask him to help.
Tell him you intend to find whoever was responsible, and break their legs.
Ask him if he has any idea who could have done such a thing?
Look him dead in the eyes.

This way, you're being neighborly AND threatening the POS both at the same time.

Just admit it. You are fuckin' wrong. If you can't give me any other evidence of your position is your 'supposed memory' of some story about a guy spiking a door, then sniff my jockstrap.

I can't make you do anything, but you look like a fuckin' fool when you make such ridiculous statements with absolutely nothing to back it up. Just trying to help you out there, bud. If you can prove me wrong, I'll apologize.

Oh, and learn how to quote people. YOUR RESPONSE GOES AT THE BOTTOM!
