Ah, the scenic drive through Frisco during election season, where the streets are a colorful mosaic of political fervor. Each corner proudly displays a candidate’s political sign, as if competing for the most eye-catching display of democracy in action. You can’t help but marvel at the sheer dedication to plastering every available inch of space with campaign paraphernalia. And just when you think you’ve had your fill, you reach the sanctuary of your neighborhood, only to find it transformed into a battleground of conflicting endorsements.

The other day driving home from H-E-B, my wife and I were commenting on all the signs, and she mentioned how we had received emails from several people about a possible “Political Sign Snatcher” among us.  Then she started humming a tune and I silently thought to myself, what song is that?  Then it hit me, talk about a flash back to the past, it was Ace of Base- The Sign.

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I saw the sign and it opened up my mind.
And I am happy now.

When we reached home, I raced to the lazy boy, opened the laptop, and started to read our emails.  I was shocked to learn that a “Political Sign Snatcher” had stolen hundreds of signs that were found in a sewer drain.   We received an anonymous tip that hundreds of “Fire Association Signs’ were found in a local sewer drain.  That’s right, stuffed down deep in a city sewer drain off a neighborhood road.  We reached out to a city insider who told us they received a complaint and the next morning both the Fire Fighters Association and the Police or Streets Department went to the location and guess what?  All the signs were gone! 

Hundreds of signs in a drain now missing and we are guessing the value of those signs is easily over $1000.00 and residents should be concerned about it.

We have so many questions and so should you!  If a resident called in a complaint, and the signs went missing by the next morning, who took them?   How would the political sign snatcher know they need to come back and get the signs out of the sewer before getting caught?   Someone would have had to tip them off that someone had filed a complaint which could lead to them getting caught.  Who has access to the complaint made by the citizen?  If someone in the city did “WARN” the sign snatcher that could put the city in very hot water. 

We are curious, did any homes nearby have cameras and did the city streets and sewer team notify the police?  If so, is there now an open investigation?
