US Voters Employ Trackers and Cameras to Deter Political Sign Theft Tired of her Kamala Harris signs disappearing from her Springfield, Missouri, front yard, Laura McCaskill taped a tracking device to one to see where it might end up.That led her to a blue Kia sedan in a nearby town, where a young man admitted he had stolen her sign, along with dozens of others, according to a video shot by McCaskill. "Um, yeah, so if you want them back they're right there," he said as he stood next to a trunk filled with Harris signs.As the Nov. 5 election between Harris and Republican Donald Trump draws near, people across the U.S. are reporting a rash of yard-sign thefts – and turning to a range of remedies to stop them, from surveillance cameras and GPS trackers to low-tech solutions like glitter and hot peppers to deter would-be thieves.Vincent Panico, a Republican deputy mayor in Readington, New Jersey, used an Apple AirTag to track a missing yard sign ahead of a primary election earlier this year.
