    Hey i saw john’s disappeared episode and remembered the big banner being destroyed twice. Why dont you guys set up hidden cameras everywhere so you make sure you have really good views of around the banner and leave it up with a survalence van not to far, then follow the person who takes down the banner or get their license plate number, but i’m sure you will know who it is when you catch them in the act. Hope you guys take my advice. thanks…
