Lawn signs in Pasadena (Photo – ColoradoBoulevard.net)
From Sierra Madre and Altadena all the way to Alhambra and Monterey Park, political lawn signs are being vandalized, and they also are being targeted and removed.

Residents took to social media over the weekend to complain that their lawn signs were illegally removed. An Altadena resident woke up to find her candidate sign and a sign encouraging racial tolerance missing from her lawn. In Monrovia, residents on one block woke up to their Biden signs being slashed with a knife. Alhambra residents had their Yes on Measure V signs stolen and some were replaced with No on Measure V signs. Some residents near Caltech woke up to their Biden signs having Trump stickers plastered all over them while others had theirs completely removed. One resident, frustrated by the incident, vowed not to be deterred: “Lawn signs don’t vote, we do!”
Earlier in the month, a few residents from Pasadena and South Pasadena who had Black Lives Matter signs on their lawns reported to the police nails sprinkled on their driveways.
Remember, if you see a sign that raises your blood pressure, do something constructive by putting out your own sign, donating to the campaign of your choice and, most important, voting.
