       CHAOS: Citizens haning around Obama sign.

       Preston Fosback and his mother, Kristine, were shocked when
       their Obama sign was stolen one night in April from the front
       yard of their Portland, Ore., home.  When they put up another
       one nine days ago, that, too, was swiped within hours.
       Undeterred, they made their own sign and put it up the next day.
       But this time, 16-year-old Preston had a plan: He set up a
       video camera inside the house and trained it on the sign from
       behind a window. He figured he would catch the thief on film,
       should he return. He hooked up the camera to a Web site that
       provides live streaming. He wrote a few words on the site
       explaining its purpose.
       And then, the handmade sign with red, uneven letters went
       global.
       Dozens of viewers now take shifts, based on their time zones, so
       as not to leave the sign unwatched at any time. Viewers in
       Europe take over for those turning in on the West Coast, who are
       in turn relieved by a dedicated crew of Australians. It's
       attracted more than 40,000 viewers and ranks among the top 10
       most-watched videos on Ustream.tv, the Web site that hosts the
       video, among videos of the two presidential candidates and
       comedian Dane Cook.
