A woman named Laura McCaskill used an Apple AirTag to track down her stolen Harris/Walz campaign sign, which led her to a home in Nixa, Missouri. When confronted, the young man’s mother admitted that the signs in the trunk of the car belonged to her son, who she described as “just an idiot.”

The incident involved the theft of around 60 signs from various homes in the neighborhood. McCaskill and other residents plan to file police reports, and McCaskill expressed concern about the entitlement and lack of accountability shown by the young man and his mother. The document also discusses the legal implications of stealing campaign signs, referencing Missouri Statute 115.637 which classifies such actions as a misdemeanor offense.

    Stealing political yard signs? No.

    Marking up political yard signs? Yes.

    On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had “FELON” and “RAPIST” graffitied on it. That’s a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.

    It was quite respectful, actually… It still very clearly said, “Trump/Vance” it was just given some flair and it wasn’t even untrue 👍
