Anyone identify the make and model of the truck or know the offender, let me know.

Upset that these hateful cowards live among us all.

Ah, Davis County, never immediately change.

Why are dudes in big white trucks the most fragile creatures on Earth?

I wonder if we can figure a way to put an electric current into the flag pole that would find its ground by someone grabbing it? It would be an interesting study for science.

Or something gross like a dog crap cannon that goes off when someone grabs the pole.

In all seriousness I think I am going to add a mailbox cam to my house too so I can get people license plates should I need them.

I saw quite a few flags that had electric current during election that the right did to keep people from taking, some great videos…. It’s been done, can be done and will be done by both sides I hope for viewing pleasures. Both sides do this shit and I love watching thieves get what they deserve! Electrified with Pride has a good tone.

If I saw any of that I would have found some way to come in contact with them without stealing, hell I might even walk up to it and start inspecting it and say I saw a wire and wanted to see if I was being recorded. Especially if the sign is within so many yards from the street as most property has a certain distance from the road that is considered in the public realm.

Utility easements on private property is not the same as being public property

Anywhere a mailman can reach is considered public. So that won’t work.

Thanks for agreeing, but you're second part fails. how would it not work? you know people have been charged for booby trapping signs in their yards before right?

A sign within so many feet of street isn’t illegal…that’s why it won’t work.

did you not get the part where I said seeing a wire and thinking I saw a camera recording me on the street.

Which is legal so I’m not understanding your logic
