Got together with neighbors and filed police reports today

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

We’ve all been having issues with our cars getting egged. It’s Halloween time, didn’t think a lot about it. Happened constantly in our old neighborhood. Then we got to talking amongst ourselves. We all had Harris/Walz signs. Came out this morning and all the Harris/Walz signs in the neighborhood were missing, as well as an anti-Trump sign (the Dope/Nope sign) and a “Whoa” one reminding neighbors to drive the speed limit.

We got video and turned that over to the police. He told us to make sure we call in the egging incidents as well.

Harris/Walz got at least 4 donations and sign purchases today!

Get some airtags, attach them to the signs and they let you know where they are at, when they've been stolen. SWBTATTReg Oct 13 #4

And publicly shamed, along with a hefty fine for theft and property damage.

That seems more hopeful than reality-based. They’ll be cheered among the only peer group they care about.

Last election I added a sign that read:

"IF YOU STEAL THIS SIGN, I WILL ONLY BUY ANOTHER GIVING MORE MONEY TO BIDEN/HARRIS CAMPAIGN"

They didn't steal any more signs after that......

I watched a guy have these, installed them at his place in the Country (getting robbed and stuff while he wasn't there), and using the airtags, discovered who it was and had the cops there too.

People got to realize that this crap doesn't fly anymore.
