COLORADO SPRINGS - There have been countless reports of sign stealing during this election campaign from both Republicans and Democrats. A private investigator hired to track down the person responsible for taking Republican campaign signs in one Colorado Springs neighborhood caught the culprit on tape and made a surprising discovery.

The woman caught taking down Bush/Cheney and Pete Coors signs turned out the be the wife of the only Democratic state representative from El Paso County. Rep. Mike Merrifield, D-Manitou Springs, confirms that it was his wife who was caught taking the signs.

Merrifield said the signs were placed near his home to harass him. He indicated he would have taken the signs himself, but he was confined to his house for health reasons. He also admitted removing Kent Lambert signs, Merrifield's opponent in the state house race.

State Republican Chair Ted Halaby said Merrifield should step down. The district attorney said she doesn't plan to pursue the matter.
