2. "thought it would be funny."

Deputies said when they found Wolf's truck near Hiemstra's house, the stolen election signs were clearly visible in the back and the family was still inside. Deputies said when he was asked why he would take the election signs, Wolf said he "thought it would be funny."

Deputies say alcohol also is suspected to be a factor in the thefts.

4. Good, I wish I had seen whoever stole our sign along with every other one around here.

Actually I have had two stolen. My Kathy Dahlkemper for Congress sign is still there.

5. Sign theft has to be made a serious crime...

It should be viewed the same as voter supression and intimidation, and should come with serious and significant penalties.

10. About par for LaPorte, if you ask me.

When I was there, the educated folks with jobs were in town (Ft. Collins) where the university was. LaPorte, not so much.

12. Obviously - the WOULD 'like to have a beer with him" mentality at work!

14. Under Colorado Law

If he was driving while under the influence of alcohol, that is Child Abuse. Class 1 misdemeanor punishable up to 2 years County Jail time.

If he was under the influence while driving, which he admitted too driving, they should have treated it as a possible DUI. I think PC was established.

15. Trickle down

hate and stupidity. Like a sign makes that much difference. "Oh, there's a McCain sign, I better vote for McCain". I know the name has to be out there but to risk criminal charges for theft, I think not.
