This thread is crazy.. people here are against removing the object and placing it in the cab of the vehicle, without stealing or damaging anything? Isn't this the same crowd of people who generally support keying peoples cars or damaging them in some other way if they don't park properly?

I must be mistaken.

I've never advocated destruction of private property like that as far as I know. NO ONE has a right to mess with someone elses stuff. Period. Ok, you can come up with special circumstances...I had to break the window to get the choking kid out, I blew up hitlers car to prevent the holocaust, etc, but generally no, you can never ever EVER touch someone else stuff.

You don't get to decide what is offensive. You can have an opinion that it offends you, but you can't infringe on my rights because of that opinion. Period. If you're unhappy with that, move to another country where individuals have no rights of expression.

Agree 100%

I've been tempted to ask the owners of those trucks to explain their decoration to my four year old daughter.

But it seems somewhat unlikely they'd feel the appropriate amount of shame.

What laws are there against removing it and placing it in the owner's truck bed or on top of their car?
I understand its against their freedom of speech but if something is universally looked down upon, why should you be penalized?

Example: There are these rather new items people like to pin or hang off their hitch on the back of their trucks/semi. The item is a grey stretchy plastic that has two metal balls inside of it. It is designed to make the vehicle look like it has testicles. I want to neuter everyone of these trucks. Not destroy the evidence but just toss it in their truck bed to give them a hint.

Same goes for any offensive bumper sticker. Example the picking cotton one from the other thread.
LOL

I posted a thread about this last year.

Yeah, they are stupid beyond belief.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO MEET MY GUN...
Damn thought nazis!

Bush bumper stickers are way more offensive than truck balls!
 
I would suggest the solution most commonly adopted by the world's Muslim population: Start with rioting, burning the truck (and any neighboring vehicles, and follow up with burning the flags of the federal and state governments, insisting the government apologize for this affront, and then videotape the beheading of the truck owner as your colleagues stand by holding AK-47s. Announce a jihad against all those who would dare to put fake testicles on their trucks, and vow to blow them up with suicide bombers...
