An Indiana man who was targeted for the Donald Trump poster he had erected in his front yard decided to take a stand against any future thieves who didn't share his political inclinations - by booby trapping the sign.

The Indianapolis man, who wanted to only be identified as Phillip, said passers-by had twice tried to steal the sign in the last month, and so he took matters into his own hands.

He jerry-rigged the sign with fishing wire that had been painted green and put up a video camera on a nearby tree, ready to catch the next thief. Or at least their attempt.

Many people around here are starting to booby trap their signs. They are being stolen left and right.

Stealing the signs are stupid.

 Because people steal and vandalize your signs.

I hear putting tar at the top of the sign is another good prank to pull on sign stealers.
