Summary

On October 15, 2024, a Beaver Island Forum participant reported that numerous campaign signs placed along King’s Highway, Sloptown Road, and other locations had been removed, and said trail cameras covered several locations. Six replies through October 23 discussed whether the signs were on private or public land, the removal of other kinds of signs, and the broader question of political expression in a small community.

Evidence limits

This is a community forum account and discussion, not a police report, court record, or independently verified inventory of missing signs. The thread does not identify who removed any sign, establish whether a crime occurred, or record an official investigation or outcome. The road names locate the reported sites but do not establish the precise sign locations or property rights.
