Someone torched woman’s Romney sign in her yard

This is the kind of stuff that really ticks me off. The Romney sign was in her yard, inside her picket fence. And somebody pulls up at night, walks into her picket fence and torches her sign. What cowards!

WTOP – Libby Stevens put up her 4-foot-by-8-foot blue and white Mitt Romney sign when the candidate himself came to Leesburg last week. It was on her front lawn, inside her white picket fence. About 2 a.m. Monday someone set the plastic sign on fire.

Stevens says it was scary to look out the window to see flames leaping into the night.

“To come into someone’s gated fenced front yard and set something on fire? Something could have happened,” she says.

The Loudoun County Fire Department has classified the sign burning as arson, which in this case would be a misdemeanor. If a suspect is convicted he or she could face a year in jail and a big fine.

Stevens’ home is on South King Street, or route 15, which is a major commuter route into Leesburg.

Stevens says signs have been stolen from her fence before. She’s replaced her smaller signs on the fence three times, even using plastic fasteners to keep them from being stolen again. …

Her message to whoever burned the sign: “Shame on you!”

On her lawn now, next to the scorch mark from the fire, and two empty aluminum poles, she has placed a smaller Romney sign and an American flag.
