How do I find out what the law is regarding stealing political signs in Illinois?

My husband's political signs are being stolen. We've lost almost all of them. Hundreds of dollars worth. I'm curious if we catch this person...how do I find out what they could be charged with? The person who's running against my husband is the brother in law of the retired chief of police.

This might be a stupid question...but if the thief is found....and has to go to court, do we get our money back or do we have to do a civil lawsuit to get the money back? Should the police give him a fine or a sentance do you think? Just curious how this works.

Stealing political signs or street signs or any sign in Illinois is theft. Should a person or persons be caught they can be charged with theft.

Determining the punishment will be the action of a judge. Restitution will probably be ordered, with some community service as well.

Call the District Attorney's office, and ask what laws cover that. Taxes pay that office, so they can give you info of that nature. If you have evidence, then you can report the thief at the same time!

The signs have a value, therefore they would be charged with theft.
