Beenleigh police are on the trail of campaign sign thieves, who appear to have a taste for those bearing the face of Labor Forde candidate, Peter Beattie. Mr Beattie, who has declared he is on the campaign "fight back" after recent polls showed the former Premier on track for a landslide loss, said up to 100 of his campaign signs had gone missing since the election began. The signs had been taken from various areas around Beenleigh, Mt Warren Park, Eagleby and Windaroo only hours after members of Mr Beattie's campaign team had installed them.

On Tuesday night, a member of Mr Beattie's staff spotted four people in two vehicles, a white four door dual cab ute and a yellow two-door Daihatsu ute, parked next to a recently planted campaign sign on Carl Heck Boulevard. The staffer saw the passenger of one of the cars attempt to pull the sign from the ground and managed to snap a photo of the number plate, before reporting the matter to police. The theft of the signs, which Mr Beattie said he didn't believe was happening to any other Forde candidate, is now being investigated by police.
