Hmmm... if the guy's sign kept getting stolen as the clipping says rather than stolen and swapped for Obama signs, then chances are the kid had stolen the Obama sign as well. Sure Dad - he was just curious how it was constructed... Bzzzzz. Wrong! Your little engineer there doesn't give a damn about the structural properties of campaign signange - he is just an obnoxious little brat that's been stealing everyone's yard signs just to screw with them.

Now remember kids - if you decide to swap everyone's yard signs around as a Halloween prank this year - where thick rubber gloves so you don't get fried :-)
