Stealing political signs

It’s late at night, no one is around, and right in front of you is a yard sign for a candidate you abhor.  How easy it is to just pull it up and throw it in a nearby dumpster.  Nonetheless, this is a temptation that most people resist.  It is a form of mutually assured destruction.  If you take down an opponent’s signs, what is to stop his or her supporters from removing your candidate’s signs?

Unfortunately some deplorable Trump supporter (or supporters) succumbed to the temptation and removed most of the Hillary Clinton signs in Jim Thorpe, including signs in people’s yards.  

My suggestion to people who had signs stolen is to make homemade ones that say, “My Hillary sign was stolen by a Trump supporter.”  That way you don’t have to buy a new one, and the message gets out.  Whatever you do, don’t take Trump signs down.  We are better than that.
