Has anyone been fined for bandit signs?

They are illegal, but I suspect it's seldom enforced. Any first hand experience with fines?

I highly doubt that they are government property. There will likely be signs for challengers who haave never held office - you sure the signs for such a candidate will belong to the government?

Those signs belong to the candidate (or the candidate's campaign entity or fund).

They don't get slashed because the slashers fear the repercussions in case that candidate WINS.
