No, No, NO!!!!
Resolutions could have worked.
1st get the Neighbourhood Litmus test and a 2/3rds Majority approval.
Then get the blind Neighbours from way across the street to come in and inspect for WMD's (Wimpy Materials of Display).
Confront the Vandal and issue umpteen resolutions followed by hollow threats.
Then after the Vandal steals...ummm lets say 122 signs. Recall all the blind Neighbours, that were supposed to be watching, back to their own Neighbourhood. Because the blind Neighbours know that the Vandal was never a threat.
At this time get 3 or 4 of your buddies and go over to the Vandals house and burn it down.
Then declare that the Neighbourhood is now alot safer than before.
Taaaa~Daaaaa...
BTW I would have shot the bassturd on the first night, thrown a rock thru my window and claimed it was a home invasion. But that's just me.
