We cannot keep an Obama sign up for 24 hours here in Westmoreland Co., PA. Same problem four years ago. I would never think of stealing a GOP sign but boy I always knew liars will stoop to anything. They even stole "Good Schools = Good Community" sign from my yard and "Tom Corbett's budget leaves every child behind". So frustrating...any suggestions to help keep our signs?

Another poster suggested this action:
When my sister's Obama sign was stolen, she put up one that said "Thou shalt not steal."

In another case, the homeowner referred it to police and videotaped:
