Resident warns
would-be yard sign
vandals.Lena Long of Ashland stands near a McCain/Palin sign her husband affixed with a no-trespassing message after some of their signs were stolen from their yard last week.
Lena Long doesn’t pull any punches. And it’s not punches she has in mind for the thieves - college students, she thinks - who stole the McCain/Palin campaign signs from her Ashland yard last week a few hours before sun-up.
"They’re going to be in for a surprise if they don’t stop it," Long said in a phone message Thursday morning to the Tribune. "They might find electric shock, and it might shock some sense into their heads."
Around noon, when Long picked up her phone to answer a return call, she was closer to making good on that threat.
"I found me an electric fence, and they told me, ‘You’re going to have to have that pole in the ground 6 foot,’ " she said. "I told them if I had to stand out in the yard and peck all night, I’ll do it."
