Vanity signs, like vanity plates are just a target for some.   Many many years ago, I used the "This is a Talking House" signs and they would disappear in a heartbeat.  College kids loved them.

Hi Paul -- I've seen vandalism rarely but I choose not to have my photo on my signs for other reasons.

I don't put my picture on my signs. Haven't seen any vandalism of signs here on Kauai. Guess we are a sleepy little island without those big-city problems.

No. I prefer to use the space to provide potential buyers with ways to get information. I have seen some " Glamour Shots" on signs that had been blasted with shotgun pellets. Glamour Shots are aka Targets.

Paul, I don't have my Picture on my Signs, but I do have expensive Signs with my Company Logo with a Name Rider and for my Agents. I have experienced Vandalism however, and that is aggravating. I just don't understand why people do such things.

Good morning Paul. We have signs on all the homes we flip, I usually enroll the neighbors to keep an eye on them, as we improve the value of their neighborhoods.

Make it a great weekend!

I used to have my pictures on everything, and I never had any damage to it. I see often damage on bus benches, not on signs.
