Night vision surveillance video captured a person skipping into Jackie Lemmink’s front yard, grabbing her Harris-Walz campaign sign and throwing it into a car in the late night hours of Sept. 21.
The video captured the person then crossing the street and doing the same to one of her neighbor’s campaign signs showing support for the Democratic Party’s nominees for president and vice president.
Lemmink said, in all, four homes were hit in the same night.
“I feel like, as an American, we have the right to choose the candidate that we feel fit for the job, and we should have the right to put the sign out there without it being stolen,” she said.
She filed a police report with the Colerain Township Police Department and said she wanted someone held accountable. We spoke with police who said they are investigating the situation.

It wasn’t the first time her yard had been targeted, either.
Lemmink said campaign signs were stolen from her yard in 2016, and a 2018 incident over a balloon depicting Donald Trump as a baby left her frightened. She said she flew the balloon high over her home to express displeasure over then-President Trump’s immigration policies separating children from their parents at the border.
