Well he's getting hot and how it Wisconsin -- three weeks ago on out those states recall election a new poll has governor Scott Walker.

With a five point lead and for some Scott -- supporters is really getting hot pro walker signs and at least two Milwaukee suburbs.

Getting stolen and then burned.

Well there are new leads one victim says he's seen these kind of tactics before Gerri Willis joins run -- -- -- good to have you thanks coming.

That's nice to be here thank you I'm so you -- Scott Walker sign I guess on your property.

And what happened.

Well we actually had three signs on I live on a court they had him on -- court and my neighbor called in the morning and said are your signs still Larry and I said gee I think Seoul and I -- to go -- look in -- they were gone.

-- -- husband had gotten up about 4 o'clock to go fishing with another neighbor.

And when he got to the end of the court they found in a bunch of orange barrels which had been protecting some new concrete patches had been carefully arranged across the road so they couldn't get out.

And when they got out of their car to make a path further car they noticed.

A pile of rubble in the middle of the street and it was our.

What what remained of -- signs that had been burned and left in the middle of the intersection at the end of the court.

-- -- -- -- Other neighborhoods other reports that you hear that bit.

Similarly -- signs have been ripped off property lawns and and the rest I don't know they've been -- to normal now.

A cynic might look at this -- and just say well -- this is all part of politics both sides don't I don't.

Remember hearing that on on the other side but what's going on there.

Well -- there have been.

There -- the night before there were signs burned in fox point.

Those were largely.

From what I saw burned on people's front lawns in and left there.

And there were a number of those.

It has happened before it happened.

Back during the center recalls.

There were reports of science being burned and destroyed in other parts of the state so.

-- I guess this is nothing new I I didn't expect that my neighborhood.

You know it's kind of weird as you -- -- -- court a cul-de-sac I guess right I mean it -- would not be -- road you drive through.

So some would have to go to some trouble to go in a court.

To take to sign off to do whatever else on -- -- is that well.

Well they also.

They went in one of neighbors' backyards and took a some other they're grand children's toys.

And move -- into the center of the court.

And I suspect they did that just to show us that they could get close to our houses and we wouldn't know about it I don't know any other reason they would do that.

But no one is owned up to this known as admitted there's no one has reported any widespread.

-- burning or anything like this.

Naw it's -- hit and run -- and you have a new sign up.

Yes that's -- the first thing well.
