Sign Wednesday: Stealing Campaign Signs

Every election that I can remember has their fair share of sign stealing or swapping. This presidential election is by no means the exception to the rule. You can find both stories of people stealing Obama signs as well as McCain signs. I heard the story below and it made me at least appreciate someone trying to protect their signs. Thank you Fox News for the story:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday. The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at the Turschak's home. Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs. Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.


Then I ran across this sign as well.



What I think is the funniest thing about this sign is that they truly put God and Your Mom on the same level. For God will get his justice and Your Mom wouldn't be proud of you. I seriously laughed out loud when I read this.

So to all you campaign sign stealers out there, "STOP IT!" You don't know when you might get shocked or the wrath of God will come down upon you.
