While I was living in South Carolina some idiot placed three dem signs on my property. It was an acre on a major road and was an untouched wood line, we lived on the other acre. When I saw the signs I stopped and took them down, in broad daylight.
Someone was watching and they came rushing up to me yelling to "put them back!" I looked them in the face and said, "over my dead body." The guy looked like I just slapped him, He said "Those are not yours to take." I told him it was my land and this is trash and if I saw them again on my property I'd call the police. He just walked away.....
I think I was still on active duty.
