Each election cycle, many campaign signs pop up along main arteries. Often those costly placards wind up missing. Sometimes it's the wind. Other times the disappearance can be attributed to shenanigans from opponents for office.
There's a bunch that have swiped the thangs over the years. Heck they make great practice targets for instance. The chloroplast plastic material is great insulation for garage and out building walls too.
Has anyone ever heard of getting arrested for the sticky finger transgression? We asked two retired Badges : Have you EVER heard of any such arrests? From both, Nope!
Maybe some person seeking office paid the two listed below to remove the signs? Now that they are caught, will Ronnie and or Crystal spill their guts for leniency?
Most of us uncaught criminals knew to do the thievery after dark. This incident took place at high noon when many drivers were on the highway.
If found guilty of the crimes, a big fine and jail time may be issued.
Crime? Let's see now..
The signs were placed on a DOH right of way; the State Road folks as well as the Sec of State guidelines, advised, such postings are against the law; and don't do it. How can the two defendants be found guilty of removing something that was not suppose to be there to begin with ?
Maybe their best defense would be: Ah Gee Judge, I was just trying to make the county look better, helping to remove the blight of those plastic rascals!
