Frustration!!!! Who keeps taking my signs?

[Randy Wong]

My favorite marketing strategy is using bandit signs. I get an average of 5-8 calls a day from just putting out 20 to 30 signs on Saturday and Sunday. I put them out late Friday night and pick them up Sunday night.

Lately I've been missing more and more signs earlier and earlier. I put out signs on weekends only to avoid the city, but someone else is busy taking my signs. Most of my signs are gone by early Sunday morning. I stopped for over a month and resumed my bandit sign campaign. Still someone is taking them.

What do I do?

I'm thinking of stopping the bandit signs for a while and ramp up my yellow letter marketing and starting a internet campaign.

Could just be someone who's tired of the trash on the streets. There's an organization around here called CAUSS (Citizens Against Ugly Street Spam). They cut signs in half and take half, leaving one of their stickers on the remaining half.

Call them "haters", "low lifes", and "bullies" if you want but you're the one putting up illegal signs.
