Randy most counties and cities have laws against bandit signs.You are right in that most do not work on the weekends.You might be better off hiring someone to hold a sign for you as there might not be an ordinance against that yet.Example it might be illegal to put a sign in the ground for your area but not have someone hold a sign.I tried bandit signs years ago and it just didn't work great for me.You can out some high up on a telephone pole,etc. where they can't easily grab them.Usually a competitor or the neighborhood watch or a good citizen type will take them down.
