One of my bumperstickers is missing!
:grr: :grr: :grr:

Someone yesterday apparently took offense at a bumpersticker I've had on my car for over a year & ripped it off car! If I weren't so damn mad about it, I'd enjoy the irony of a "Christian" violating one of the Commandments they so love to shove down everyone's throats: "Thou shalt not steal."

On the bright side, I can now go & get something even more offensive than that & piss them off again! :evilgrin: But I'm still pissed that they stole something off my car.

6. "I'm a Liberal, Just like Jesus"
Funny thing is, it's not the most insulting one on my car. I was sure the one that would go walkabout first was "I'm far too informed to vote Republican." :shrug:

8. The point of a magnetic sticker is...
That you can take it off and throw it in your trunk when you park. You have to realize that republicans aren't going to think twice about stealing or vandalizing your car if your political views don't jive with theirs.

32. nah - magnetic stickers let me "mix it up" and keep a rotating group
of stickers posted! This is the only one ever stolen.... My "Celebrate Diversity" and "Peace & Equality are moral values" were both left alone!

It was time to snag some new stickers anyhow!

9. Did they take it off nicely...
or just rip it?

I only ask because maybe they wanted it for their own car.

20. They ripped it off completely
& no way would they be able to stick it on their own car. It was over a year old. :cry: I wish I had bought 2 now. I lost the website where I got it.

10. Try putting on "Treehugging Dirt Worshipper"
That'll get them. But you better buy two. I got mine ripped off in my ultra-white, church-going community.

40. LMAO!! Fantastic.....
but I can hear me now......"officer, it really wasn't my fault. I was reading the car in front of me!" LOL

We recently moved to a community that traditionally votes Republican (though I note that Democratic registrations are increasing). I was heartened when I went to the local market and I saw quite a number of progressive bumper stickers and a car that looks very like yours. It must belong to an employee of the market or CVS next door -- it's always in the parking lot.

19. Place them on the Inside of Your Window
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 05:56 PM by stepnw1f
That way you never get them peeled, and this stickers stay new.

I make my own now. I use transparent film so I can actually stick them on the inside of my rear window. Plus... pealing off of glass is cleaner and easier than a bumper.

28. I'm sorry. That is really rotten! And I don't blame you!!!
I worry about that kind of thing all the time, since I may live in a blue state, but in a really red district. I was even self conscious about my driving, before the 2004 election, afraid that somebody would get pissed off at me and take it out on John Kerry...:eyes:

My friend nearly got run off the road, just north of here, by some guy in a pickup truck that told him to get out of "his" country...:scared::grr:

And the congressional race is really bitter up here in Northern NY. For the first time in years, Dems have a really qualified and viable candidate, taking on the Freeper who the local paper said could probably have the job for life, if he wanted it... But, for the first time, he has real competition. My house mate went to Dem headquarters to get a lawn sign and they had only one left. I said that I thought that this was good news, that she had that much support, and he told me that the reason was that they kept being stolen.:-(

It happens to all of us. I'm just glad that they didn't hurt your car. Actually, I wish that somebody would steal my DU sticker, since it's so battered that it's practically unreadable and I keep meaning to replace it. I have several in my trunk, LOL, but I don't know if I can get if off...:shrug:

Rhiannon:hi:

44. I live in a very red county in North Georgia.
All Republicans in the county offices. Not one Democrat. And I have not had any problem with anyone messing with my bumperstickers. Maybe they just are not offensive enough. One reads "Support our troops, bring them home." And I have two ribbons. One says "US Out of Iraq" and the other is "Bring Them Home." Then, of course, I have my DU sticker.

37. I have had mine stolen before...
either that or the wind blew them off.

I had bought some bumperstickers and had out magnetic backing on them. I was so proud of them.

However my "Jesus is a Liberal" sticker always ended up missing.

tear the hell out of it.

Mine said "Thanks Bush for Nothing" (I'm a Katrina survivor) - I took my car to the mechanics and when I got it back, the bumper sticker was trashed - I'm just grateful my car still runs. :crazy:
