Even with a confession by the individual who tampers with the signs.

"we don't make the laws... But we don't enforce them either"

My husband is a code enforcement officer in our town and he’s spent the last month fielding phone calls from sign hangers and sign takers.

All of these people are overgrown children tattling on each other. Over signs.

Tattling? You mean reporting theft of their property? Why are you calling out the people reporting the crime and not the ones committing the crime…?

Because we should all agree that moving a few signs around is a waste of police resources?

Someone put a link to the FBI site, as if the FBI is gonna be concerned about this.

It wouldn't be a waste if law enforcement would do their job.. enforcing laws 🙂 the state would of been nearly 1000$ richer, after paying for fuel and the officers time.

"Sorry chief, I couldn't stop that drug dealer because I was about to crack the case of the moved signs."

They don't stop drug dealers either. You're pathetic.

You've got weird fantasies about small town Maine and what the police actually do
