Caught on camera: Masked men use stolen welcome sign to hide theft of Pride flags
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (KDVR) — Masked men using a stolen sign to block the theft of several Pride flags from people's front yards in a Fort Collins neighborhood were caught on camera. It was the first year Rebecca and Sarah Peck hung their flags in front of their home they had recently moved into. When they lived in Alabama, they say they would hang them all the time, with no problem. Trio of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stars to headline Denver PrideFest's Center Stage Now, they feel violated knowing someone walked onto their property and made off with their belongings. When Sarah Peck was out cutting grass early Saturday morning, she noticed something was off. 'Then I finished and I was like, wait a minute,' said Sarah. 'What happened to our flags? Like all of them.' The three hanging in the couple's front yard are gone, along with the couple's hand-painted welcome sign. 'The whole process took a couple of weeks between the painting and drying. I wouldn't be surprised if it took a month of work for all of that,' said Sarah. 'I was more like, where'd they go … what happened. I was confused.' It was when a neighbor showed a video of two masked men appearing to use the same sign to hide the theft that neighbors were able to connect the dots. Sarah said, 'It was more of a shock, like this is our sign. It's very distinguishable.' The couple also learned that other homes in the neighborhood were targeted. 'From what I understand, we all had something Pride-related that was messed with,' said Sarah. 'One of the neighbors had a pride wreath that was messed with on their front door. I heard other flags getting taken as well.' Friends remember Jax Gratton two months after she went missing Sarah says she reported the situation to the police, hoping someone can recognize the people responsible. 'What was so offensive to you that you felt the need to come on our personal property and take our stuff?' Sarah asked. Around noon on Monday, the couple replaced the stolen flag while also taping a message to their front door. 'We're not going to be intimidated by it,' said Sarah. Sarah says the sign that was stolen was sentimental and she desperately wants it back. She wants to send a message out to the community to be vigilant. Meanwhile, if you can identify the people in the video, you are asked to give Fort Collins police a call at 970-221-6540. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
