The series of incidents, which has raised concerns among local supporters, has involved aggressive tactics, including one instance where a vandal was captured on video slashing a sign with a knife at 2 AM. In that footage, the individual can be seen hiding in nearby bushes as a car passes by before resuming the act of vandalism.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-11878-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10.28.2024-Allman-Sign-Theft.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10.28.2024-Allman-Sign-Theft.mp4\">https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10.28.2024-Allman-Sign-Theft.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Another video caught a separate incident in which an individual brazenly picked up an Allman campaign sign and ran off with it.
