1. Here's a taste...

"October 30, 2004

ENCINITAS – Pete Nolan said he knew he had to do something after someone made off with his 20-foot-long sign opposing the governor's recall last year.

This time around, Nolan wanted to show his support for John Kerry and John Edwards with an equally-huge sign on his garage, but he had a feeling it would also attract thieves or vandals.

So he pieced together a homemade security system, installing a motion-activated alarm and floodlight and a video camera near the 5-foot-tall nylon sign.

This week, Nolan caught his first victim." (con'd)

5. OK, try this:

First, go to:

Then near the right center of the page and right-click on the article listed as: "Man sets trap, nabs would-be sign thief"

6. Another juicy tidbit:

"As neighbors called the Sheriff's Department, Nolan said, he chased the man, caught up to him near Vulcan and Encinitas Boulevard, grabbed his arm, then tackled him and "sat on him until the police got there."

The suspect, whom the sheriff's report identified as Jessie Irvin Mathews, 22, of Vista, initially told deputies that Nolan had "jumped him and tried to rape him" for no apparent reason, Nolan said.

One problem with that: Mathews was caught on camera pulling the banner off the garage and starting to run away with it, according to the incident report.

After viewing the tape, deputies transported Mathews to their Encinitas station and cited him for attempted petty theft."

3. Good for him!

I loved the guy's excuse about he attacked him and tried to rape him. Only a Bush supporter would think of that.

17. You've gotta wonder

It would NEVER occur to me to accuse someone of attempting to rape me, unless they actually did.

14. Proves what we have always suspected

The bastards will not even stand together--his creepy accomplice ditched him!!!

'Nolan, however, said he regrets that he couldn't make out the license plate of a pickup that pulled up during the chase. He said the driver yelled at Mathews, urging him to "hurry up," before driving off.'
