I put my Harris yard sign out today, So I taped rose branches with thorns all around the sign. Hopefully if they try to steal it they will get a few pickers .

several Harris Walz signs disappear yesterday. Maybe game cams could be next...
Update just heard that over 400 signs were
stolen in town.

(2,511 posts)Pretty creepy. There might also be a "ring"
of perps who carried this out. Some signs were on private property, some on public.
Different penalties for each.
400 is a helluva lot of signs..

(16,596 posts)it's a way of keeping the deer from eating the signs. Deer hate the taste of ghost pepper extract too from what I've been told.

The only way for them to remove it would be to shoot it down..
Or just fly a big helium balloon with Harris/Walz on it.

(3,213 posts)Strippers prefer gold glitter because of the spotlights, so I have been told. Very fine grade glitter. Wives will wonder where he went last night when he went sign hunting. Cheap dollar tree perfume, too.
"I was making my sign more noticeable" is a creditable defense.
