Stuff - Rodney Local Board hopeful Tessa Berger is asking people to order her signs rather than steal them

A local government contender is considering asking her supporters to pre-order her "eye-catching" hoarding signs in an effort to stop them being stolen. She will then deliver them by hand after the election.

Tessa Berger, a candidate for the Rodney Local Board in north Auckland, was surprised when someone stole her election sign from amidst a group of other council and local board hopefuls on Wednesday night.
