Fed up with the problem, Centreville resident Mary Lee Carello installed a surveillance camera and a sign. It reads: "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL! -GOD."

"We just feel very violated," she said. "Somebody's trespassing on your property and stealing."

In Manassas, a McCain supporter told the News & Messenger that someone slashed his yard sign and left a note. It read: 'You and your racist views have been liberated. You are welcome.'

An iWitness viewer sent in a picture of the signs hung on her Falls Church home. The homeowner complained that her Obama signs had been stolen or burnt. She responded by hanging signs, reading "You can steal our sign ... but you can't steal our vote for Obama."

Kitty Sears had a different problem. She says she woke up to find two Obama signs in her yard. When she went to bed, they were McCain signs.

"You know it seems it was a planned thing to have two signs and take our two," said the McCain supporter. "I got another sign and I'm hesitant to stick it back out there, actually, because I bet it will be replaced or bring attention, cause problems -- people are entitled to their own opinion."

In Fauquier County, election officials say more than 100 signs -- McCain and Obama -- were stolen just this past weekend.
