1. there are some in the archives of the state forums, NC

a few people posted having signs shot at or stolen.

heck, they may not be in the archives, because there isn't much traffic.

For sign pilferer, politicians aren't only ones falling flat on their face
By Lynn Bartels, Rocky Mountain News
October 19, 2004

A Lakewood Republican stealing campaign signs late one night got nabbed when he ran across a low- hanging driveway chain, fell face first onto a pilfered sign and the concrete and knocked himself unconscious.

Randal Wagner, 50, was loaded into an ambulance, treated at Lutheran Medical Center for abrasions and facial cuts and issued a summons.

Wagner, who unsuccessfully tried to steal a "Dave Thomas" congressional sign that evening, had signs for other Democratic candidates in his Toyota pickup, Wheat Ridge police reported.

"I did a very stupid thing," Wagner said Monday, admitting theft of the signs. "I got caught up in the political passions of this highly contested election."

3. I caught a car load of repukes stealing Kerry/Edwards signs

I turned the corner down my street the night of the election and caught them in my yard.
I raced my car and blocked them from getting away and got out and confronted them.
I was already pumped from dealing with a hostile poll worker and was ready to take these people on.
They were campaign workers for one of the local repuke campaigns.

4. On Ward Parkway, just southeast of the Country Club Plaza, KCMo

One of those Mission Hills homes (see Frank's "What's the Matter with Kansas") had to surround their BIG Kerry sign with chain link fence and posts set in concrete, to keep it from being torn down by those nice Bush supporters.

There is a Bush supporter in the Kansas4Kerry listserve who routinely threatens people with physical violence and death, if they say things he disagrees with. He has threatened me more than once.
