Who Is Stealing My Signs?

In the Month of August, 2004, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2 Kerry Edwards,1 Regime Change Begins at Home: Vote Out Bush Cheney, and
1 American Flag were stolen from my yard.

I decided to booby trap my one remaining sign. I set up a video camera to find out who was stealing my signs. Three nights in a row, August 28, 29, 30, in the early morning hours, attempts were made.

@masterod1 I wish it was fake, all strange hoodlums coming into my yard. I do think some were doing it just for the thrill of getting caught on video. The 5th attempt was a group of art students who heard me talk at the university about the project. They thought they could actually steal the sign because they knew how the alarm was constructed. Fail. I spotted a group of dark hoody wearers casing the joint about 15 minutes before they struck, but didn't know what they knew. Busted anyway. :)

@marctasman Well I do not like Kerry or Edwards.. but I would never do this to someone.. you have your right to have who you want.. as I do too..

@masterod1 I hear you. Those were some interesting times. And still we are faced with choices between devils we know and the devils we don't know 0_o

I think a fencer(low voltage pulsed shocker) might have been added for a more"electrifying" experience for the thieves, but hey, that's how we'd do it out west ;)
