I can see how these types of things happen and will continue to until the election is over because people don't want to see these signs EVERYWHERE!!! I'm not condoning this behavior but I get it. I have heard the houses that display the signs "get paid" to display them and that may also play a part in this too, who knows.

Please explain Jillmarie what you mean by "Get Paid". Who is paying people to display signs? Never heard of such a thing happening.

People have to pay for the signs. It's a donation to the person running or the campaign. That is ludacris. That being said chances are the people that steal the sign are frustrated teenagers that can't vote and have opposing political views to the signs they stole.
Chances are the person who's sign you stole is just going to go donate another ten dollars and get a new sign. I know I would.
