Calling Out Those Who Steal Political Lawn Signs from Private Property

To The Editor:

We have lived at our current address, located on a prominent corner in town, for over 51 years.

Last week, we purchased a lawn sign in support of the presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, and placed it on our property. Yesterday, we discovered that the sign had been stolen, although a sign in support of Andy Kim for U.S. senator remained untouched.

We understand that similar signs around Princeton have been stolen from private property.

We can only say that we are saddened and angered by this juvenile behavior. Shame on you, whoever is responsible. You are guilty of trespass, petty theft, and worst of all, bad manners and dishonoring our American value of free speech.
