Small Signs = Easy to Steal

Interesting story about sign thefts. Wow. Those ugly monstrocities that are on every street corner are really $50 bucks. The little ones are $3. Thats like a small coffee from Starbucks dotting every corner and in people's yards all across the city. Unbelievable.

Its no surprise that the signs are stolen all the time. Kids probably build stuff out of them, opponents vandalize, people want to make yard sale signs. I am sure it happens all the time.

Dina Higgins is in a unique spot though because she opted to only do small signs. While that may be cheaper, it makes her signs a lot easier to steal. Someone usually notices when you pick up one of those big ones. The smaller ones are a lot harder to detect.

That being said, I will be happy when all of the signs are taken down in May. I have to laugh though because I never really noticed that Griswold's signs had an election date on them until I started noticing that people had put stickers all over them to change from the March date to the May date. In retrospect, either he didn't plan so well or he is a really confident guy.
