I don't think that's quite true. You don't own a car that's parked in your driveway, nor do you own a cutaway main that falls into your back yard. However, she would be well within her rights to pull it out and leave it leaning against a telephone poll (or even keep it in her garage until it's clear no one will come for it.) As a practical matter, if she tossed it no one's going to care.

You are also legally entitled to charge them for removal, and to hold the sign for surety until they pay your (reasonable) costs for removal of the sign. After a (again reasonable) time, you can assume the property left is forfeit, and dispose of it as you wish. In reality, unless we're talking about a really expensive sign, it's yours.

Judy Actually, Judy, I don't think it belongs to you. However, what DOES belong to you is your property. And what HAS happened is a trespass by this campaign onto your property. So, what you do is make another sign and post it on your property that says something like the following: " campaign posted a campaign sign on my private property without my consent. clearly does not respect private property rights. His campaign trespassed upon and "tagged" my property. "This campaign sign is being stored upon my property for safekeeping, and can be recovered by the candidate in person via scheduled appointment." Then call the press. They'd eat that stuff up.
