"When they catch them they should be required to go to each home and replace the flags and apologize to the home owners," one person wrote. "Not have Mom and Dad buy the flag either, if they do the crime they can do the time working to repair or replace what they damage."
"Probably stealing flags because they were taught to hate America," another Facebook user chimed in.
