It’s sign-stealing time again
Political Fix and the Post-Dispatch news room have been flooded with reports of campaign signs being stolen this weekend.
The callers were reporting “massive numbers,” as one put it, of Obama signs snatched from yards in Olivette and University City. (Obama’s signs cost $8 apiece.)
No doubt, there have been McCain signs stolen as well.
Sign stealing always seems to be a problem near election time, especially if a contest seems close. In fact, that’s often one of the indicators.
Just to get a sense of how active this thievery is this fall, this thread is to tally any reports of widespread sign-stealing, regardless of political party.
Obviously, if anyone has any direct knowledge of who’s responsible, please call your local law-enforcement agency.


those areas are very Democratic - therefore if anyone is stealing signs it has to be Democrats!
