Regan Missing A Yard Sign

On his Regan for Trustee Facebook page, Brent Regan tells of a political sign being pilfered within 48 hours after he put it out. But Regan sign pilferers shoud beware. In 2010, the trustee/inventor built a few, tiny, camouflaged cameras w/motion sensing for a candidate that he supported. As a result, Regan and his candidate were able to catch a thief, as a camera snapped a photo of the male in action, along with his car license plate. Regan comments: "I mailed the parents a copy of the picture showing junior in action and a brief note. Problem solved." Regan sez he has the cameras "on the charger now."

Question: Why do you suppose would someone steal a candidates' yard signs?
