I thought I was done writing about yard signs, but when I woke up this morning, all of the Obama signs in my neighborhood were gone. Some people had them by the street, and others by their houses. All of them were gone. This was a targeted neighborhood beautification project, though, because the McCain signs were all still standing.

Obviously, this does make the neighborhood look like it leans a bit more to McCain than it does, but the real question here is why someone would steal the signs? The election is two weeks away, and early voting in Texas begins on Monday. Obama may be ahead in the national polls, but he is unlikely to carry the state of Texas.

So, what is the point of stealing Obama signs?
