Pleasanton mayoral race turns nasty as campaign signs stolen

PLEASANTON, Calif. - There is political intrigue in Pleasanton days before the election. This comes after dozens of campaign signs were stolen, which some residents fear could tip the election against the incumbent mayor.

A doorbell surveillance camera caught a shadowy figure swiping campaign signs in the dead of the night.

"They're pulling the plastic right off the metal post and leaving the post. And I'm guessing about 50 signs all around Pleasanton. It's really a new low for politics in Pleasanton," said Mayor Karla Brown.

The two-term incumbent said her signs were targeted over the weekend. Much of the damage occurred in a tony part of downtown, abundant with yard signs.
