A nest camera captured the moment a cyclist set fire to a man’s “Trump won” sign in Raleigh, North Carolina last weekend.
Footage first shows a cyclist on a white bike, who was wearing a black and green shirt, stopping to kick the sign in the early morning hours of August 12. After kicking the sign a number of times, the man can be seen exiting the frame before pedaling off.
A little after 4 a.m. the next morning, the cyclist returned to the property, this time with what appeared to be a kitchen lighter. He then proceeded to set fire to sign, though thankfully the blaze did not spread to the rest of the property.
“$1,000 reward for the ID of this arsonist – help me make him a felon,” wrote Raleigh resident John Kane in an X post.
“Do we know who is offering the reward?” asked podcast host Tim Pool in response. “I’ll add $5,000 to the reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of this arsonist.” Kane then confirmed that the sign was his and that he was offering the reward.

X users pointed out that the man has easily identifiable tattoos on his forearm and likely lives relatively close to the property. “Focus on the tattoo on the right forearm. Guaranteed there aren’t many men who have this tattoo,” wrote X user Sean Gatton. “Shouldn’t be that hard…that kind of cyclist doesn’t live too far away. He’s probably within 1/2 mile of the house,” opened another.
This is a developing story.
