Missouri Woman Tracks Down Stolen Campaign Signs

Laura McCaskill and her partner John Cardoza used Apple AirTags to track down stolen campaign signs in Springfield, Missouri, leading them to uncover 59 signs in a car trunk belonging to a suspected thief. Frustrated by repeated thefts of their Harris-Walz signs, they decided to attach an AirTag to one of the signs, which guided them to a residence in Nixa, where they confronted the alleged thief. McCaskill recorded the encounter, which showed the young man’s mother dismissively handing the signs back, calling the situation 'stupid.' The Springfield Police Department is now investigating the thefts, which have reportedly increased in the area as the election approaches. Legal consequences for sign theft include fines and potential imprisonment, according to Missouri election laws. McCaskill hopes to encourage her neighbors to report the thefts and seek justice, emphasizing the broader impact on the community.
