Vandals struck Baltimore Mayor Martin O?Malley?s street early Sunday morning, destroyinga large Gov. Robert Ehrlich sign that an O?Malley spokesman previously had called “obnoxious.”

At about 12:30 a.m., O?Malley?s neighbor Ida Manna reported to police that her controversial 32-square-foot Ehrlich sign, which drew headlines in August, had been torn down and thrown in the middle of the street.
