A woman named Laura McCaskill used an Apple AirTag to track down her stolen Harris/Walz campaign sign, which led her to a home in Nixa, Missouri. When confronted, the young man’s mother admitted that the signs in the trunk of the car belonged to her son, who she described as “just an idiot.”

The incident involved the theft of around 60 signs from various homes in the neighborhood. McCaskill and other residents plan to file police reports, and McCaskill expressed concern about the entitlement and lack of accountability shown by the young man and his mother. The document also discusses the legal implications of stealing campaign signs, referencing Missouri Statute 115.637 which classifies such actions as a misdemeanor offense.

      It’d only work if they didn’t dump them in the woods somewhere and instead brought them home. But, if they did get dumped at least you might be able to recover them.
