Rich kid in Springfield, Missouri gets caught red-handed stealing 60+ Harris/Walz yard signs.

Rich kid in Springfield, Missouri gets caught red-handed stealing 60+ Harris/Walz yard signs.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — As the November General Election inches closer, it almost feels inevitable that there will be more reports of election signs stolen out of yards or from out front of businesses.

One Springfield woman was able to not only get her sign back but confront the person she believes took it and got it all on video.

“This has been the fourth the fourth sign that’s been stolen from my yard,” Laura McCaskill said.

So she and her partner John did something different this time.

They used an Apple Airtag and had it with the sign.

This past weekend, their Harris/Walz sign was stolen (other democrat candidate signs were untouched per McCaskill), and they got a hit on the tracker.

They initially tracked it to a Springfield restaurant, then eventually back to Nixa, when they arrived at a home residence.

7. Question is who paid this kid to steal signs, or what gave him impetus to do so.

Saw a glimpse of the mom but wasn't sure if she was mad at him for taking the signs or she was in on it with him. I only read the closed caption & don't have the volume on.
