My guess is they pulled up to this wannabe prankster’s house just as he was going to unload them. And pointing out that the Air Tag was still in the trunk, and by the reaction of the motherlike figure “oh, let them have the stupid signs, Kevin, that way it’s your word against theirs!”
It’s the same stupidity that has always been around, I remember a local asshole when I was a kid who got caught putting sugar in gas tanks, and egging windshields. This asshole probably thought his “prank” would be praised for its political angle, but the main thing was the whole “let’s piss off some goody two shoes!” energy.
