HAYDEN — Residents of Strahorn Road said political signs disappeared from their yards Saturday, including several planted in the yard of a candidate for the Hayden City Council.
Terry Eastman said he had put up yard signs in support of David Erickson and Ed DePriest, who are running for seats on the Hayden City Council.
Those signs disappeared while he was out of the house Saturday, he said, along with signs for the same candidates in other yards.
Eastman said he reported the alleged theft to the sheriff’s office.
