A UPS delivery driver in California was caught on camera placing a dozen small Trump flags in the yard of a homeowner who had signs supporting the Democrat ticket outside.
The driver, who was delivering across the street, was seen sticking the flags among the pebbles in the woman’s front yard. In a video captured by her Ring doorbell, the homeowner, Shelly Bailes, saw the driver placing the flags on her property.
She told KCRA: “He was not delivering a package to my house, he was delivering across the street.” Following the incident, Shelly reported the driver to UPS, which has said it has launched an internal investigation. Despite the unusual nature of the driver’s actions, no crime was committed.

Adding confusion to the whole incident was the tiny nature of the Trump flags. Ms Bailes said: “I was very surprised when I saw them. I was upset. He really has no right. He’s trespassing on my lawn.” She added: “I have no idea why he did it. I can’t imagine what he thought he’d gain by these little signs.”

In a statement, UPS said: “We respect the right of all Americans to support their chosen candidate, however, we ask our employees to express their political views on their own time.” As the election heats up with just weeks to go, political affiliation is becoming a hot topic.
In a viral video, a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris campaign revealed how she tracked down her stolen Harris-Walz yard signs using an AirTag. After recording the signs getting stolen, she filmed the confrontation at a household where the signs were allegedly taken.
Laura McCaskill and her husband confronted a young man after the tracking device placed her sign in the trunk of a car. When the trunk was finally opened, dozens of Harris-Walz signs were revealed.
Although the boy tried to calm the situation down, his mom threw the signs to the McCaskill’s feet and could be heard saying: “Im sorry this is funny, why dont you just take them all? Here you go liberals.”
Its so stupid, just go vote, she added. Its a felony maam, McCaskill countered. McCaskill has filed a police report today and says others in the neighborhood will as well.
My primary objective, yes, I think it needs to be called out the behavior. I also feel if it was just [my sign], I would not press charges. My intent is to do so. Others are in the neighborhood and filing police reports because this is a very large swath and is happening in various Springfield neighborhoods, McCaskill told OzarksFirst. We dont want to cause any harm to the young man or his family, but the attitude is bothersome and I hope that can be turned around for him.
