Toledo Union Members Nabbed Stealing Romney Signs

Four Toledo union members were busted with a truck full of Romney/Ryan signs, the Media Trackers Ohio website reported.

The four men, who were nabbed in a Sheet Metal Workers International Association truck, were issued summonses early Friday morning for receiving stolen property.

Police responded after residents reported seeing them steal signs as large as 4′x8′. Tools and drills were also found in the truck.

Tom Zawistowski, president of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, said that theft of Republican signs has been reported by conservative activists from across Ohio this year.

“In Portage County, we had gotten advance notice that lots of signs were going to be taken last night and sure enough entire streets of signs were missing this morning. Most of which were on private property and many that were not near the road,” Zawistowski said, according to the website.
