I joked about it. With family, friends, and online.
But I didn’t really think it could happen.
Now really, who would be so bold? Bold enough to come like a thief in the night – literally – and take it.
Take what, you ask?
My Obama for President lawn sign. Somebody actually had the nerve, the temerity, the – whatever you want to call it – to rip my lawn sign from its rusty posts and leave the posts behind as some wicked monument to their crime.
Evildoers!
Well, to whomever it was, you’re on notice: I got more money than you’ve got cojones. There will be another Obama for President lawn sign on my front lawn. And with each purchase, the Obama campaign gets $14.00 richer. That’s right –stealing my lawn sign will only make the Obama campaign that much richer.
But don’t let me catch you. ‘Cause I will -- as they say down South – “beat you like you stole something.”

We learned the hard way to always buy at last five signs. Our anti-war signs and our John Kerry signs were repeatedly stolen. The only other alternatives are to bring the signs in each night or move them closer to the house. (The closer they are to the street, the more often they will be stolen, but of course we want them near the street.) We have one friend who had her Kerry signs stolen so frequently that she finally poured concrete holders for them. But it's a constant battle. We noticed that most of the thefts were Friday nights, Saturday nights, or nights when Republicans were putting up signage in the neighborhood.
Good luck! Go Barack!
