[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband (who works within law enforcement in Mont. County) said that they used the metal letters in their message & normally the letters that are used in those signs are the flimsy plastic ones.

It sounds like they came prepared with their own store bought letters, so it sounds premeditated & not a drunken teen joke as they happen to be walking by the sign (although the language tends to point at teens  ("ew"??).

No need to worry that children were traumatized by this.
It was done late overnight & a neighbor who was walking their dog in the early morning hours saw the message & removed it before anyone else could see, then they called the police. [/quote]

Thanks for posting.  If it really was adults who came and did this with store bought letters, it just seems pretty pathetic to me.  Really?

Sorry for just responding was away for the holiday weekend. 
From what I've heard they're taking it seriously, as they don't want to simply chalk it up to harmless teen fun & then this leads to a rash of vandalism. 
Like the previous poster mentioned, it starts with this but who knows where it may lead.

Someone also mentioned dusting for prints, but since the neighbor walking their dog chose to remove the letters themselves, that pretty much nullified any attempt they could have in doing so.

I don't think that this incident is going to cause is to go into a panicked police state, however law enforcement will be looking out for more incidents like this.

Regardless if it was teens or not, whoever did this has to remember that more and more people have motion detector recordings of their yards, driveways, etc now (especially with the rash of car break ins Bethesda has been experiencing... lock your car doors people, it takes 2 seconds).  
Those home recordings can be used as evidence to identify perpetrators in crimes like this & more and more often, residents are handing them forward to the police to assist in their investigation.

So even if this was kids this time, they should thank their lucky stars that they weren't caught & NEVER do this again, because next time this happens... they WILL make an example out of the perpetrators, no matter how old they are. [/quote]
