    I hope they pressed charges. As they pointed out, regardless of the value of signs, that’s a lot of trespassing to acquire them.

      It sounds like the cost of the air tag would kick the value over 200. Not sure if stealing it by proxy would be considered.

      When I was a kid my dad picked up a bunch of political signs AFTER the election to use as free range targets. A cop stopped him and gave him a hard time but nothing came of it.

        Yeah, even his best estimates put him over the dollar threshold. His “they’re $3 on etsy” argument is equally stupid anyway. It’s like arguing “air jordans” are available cheap on aliexpress, and trying to calculate the value from there. Official signs, from the campaign, $20/each. That’s felony theft territory.

        Your Dad was doing everyone a favor. So many people don’t take the shit down in public right of ways.
