No, it's more like a burglary at Burger King.

Uhhhh....well, they are both thefts, but other than

that I am failing to find the similarity! I can't

tell how serious you are, so I'll explain just in

case. Livestock Theft is just that, people go out

(usually at night) in rural, low (human) populated

areas with trailers and steal livestock. Pasture

fences are made to keep livestock in, not thieves out.

And the poor animals don't know the difference if

they are being rounded up by their owners or

strangers! :} Livestock are valuable, and these

thieves know it. They then go sell them.

Our county is currently looking for an Emu that has been spotted several

times. They have been looking for it for a few weeks now. Every now and then

someone sees it. Trouble is no one knows who it belongs to. Theyre afraid

it's going to get hit by a car.

In many instances you are looking at a felony charge due to the value of the

animal. The idea of

a rustling in progress is not unheard of in many rural areas.

I had officers working extra duty last week guarding a horse, a Tennessee

walking horse, valued at

over a million dollars.

Remember, if it can be stolen, someone will steal it. Why? Becasuse it is

there.

Once had two drunks load up a quanity of dog food from a closed business, it

was an outside display.

Neither one of them had a dog.

Come on Gil . . . . . . . I know you're from the Massachusetts section of

Cow Hampshire but you can't dispatch in New Hampshire without getting a

myriad of " livestock " calls, can you? Even in Portsmouth? " The neighbor's

cows are loose again " , " There are 10 pigs running down the road " , etc. We

get them all the time.

I have a trainee sitting here looking at the Powerphone guide to Incidents

you country folk-- is this similar to our Car Jacking?

Check out the Powerphone Fire Incident guidebook. Flip to the Mailbox Fire

tab.

Now first I am thinking does this really need a specialized tab??? Check

out the questions, one of them is.....

Is anyone trapped? (Maybe 's small people that keep changing sizes)

I think Gil originally asked that question, not Sara, but I'm commenting

now. <grin>

We have the best of BOTH worlds: we get car-jackings AND livestock theft calls!

(There's a bit of rustling that goes on around here. There's also the

occasional 'cattle mutilation' report. That's probably attributed to the

aliens responsible for the stuff that ISN'T a Vandenburg AFB missile launch.)

Oh NO! Tiny extracation efforts!

<giggling>

Every now and then, an officer asks for the residential address off a DMV

return, and all that's listed is a P.O. Box. I use my best, non-committal

tone of voice and preface the repetition of the postal address with, " Must

be a very small person... residential address is: [such and such] " .

Nope. Critters get entered into the stolen article files. Your

training isn't complete until you've entered a series of

consecutively numbered Holstiens steers by ranch brand

and ear-tattoo numbers into the stolen article files or put a

locate on TYP/LEMU or LDOG. Grand larceny, cockatoo

(do you know what they cost?) isn't even rare (we have 2

vet's and a store that specialize in exotic birds either in

or within spittin' distance of Falls Church).

Oh, and if you buy an expensive bird, write down the

numbers on the leg band and/or leg/wing tattoo(s) so

that when your bird is stolen, you can give some poor

tty opr some job security.

Someone mentioned shooting dogs that were chasing livestock.

We get a lot of calls about dogs killing chickens, especially fighting

roosters, you can raise them in Tn.

but it is illegal to fight them, go figure. We have had some real neighbor

problems over this situation.

Especially with this one habitually drunk individual whose neighbors dogs

are always over.

These roosters are valuable and it can get to be a big deal in a hurry.

This leads back to dogs being out. We had several calls ref to four or five

pit bulls running at large

in a subdivision. These dogs have been out before, numerous times, and the

owner has been in court

and placed on probation but they still keep getting out. I contacted our

animal services (politically correct name) they said they might get out

there the next day or the day after as they were real busy.

Then one of the callers who had called animal services herself called ref to

threats, seems as if the owner

of the dogs told her that his friend at animal services had called him

stating that she had called. He told her he would " take care of her " . This

is definitely getting looked into.

Another neighbor asked what steps he could take to defend his family if

attacked. State of Tn. recognizes uses of deadly force to protect the

family and he was advised as such.

I don't understand people who let their dogs run loose, especilly a pit

bull, if they get loose once in a while

or someone accidently leaves a gate open, yeah, but not all the feaking

time. My dog is chained up, as much as I hate to do it to her, but she is

well sheltered and fed.

Thanks Ken, that gives me the idea to take an egg to work this week to put

into an officers mail box. Last week a couple of new chicken residents of

our historic park decided to break curfew and got a ride home in the back of

the patrol car. and like a few of our human passengers, they left a " gift "

for the officer to clean out of the car.. what is it about riding in the back

of a squad car makes people loose control of their body functions?

I always get a kick out of fresh boots being dispatched to a loose horse or

cow call. Now there's something you don't get taught in the academy!

We once had a boot who (jokingly) asked us if he was supposed to corral a

wandering horse into his back seat.

You gotta be careful of those things- we had a call from one of our

residents about loose emus. Dispatched a cruiser, who located one of

them. Don't know what he was thinking, but he decided that tackling it

would be a good idea. This thing kicked the living sh*t out of him, then

died of a heart attack. Turns out the person who belonged to the emu was

raising them without permits and got into trouble. The trooper got away

with a severely injured thumb and numerous scratches. Someone in his

barracks also had the wits enough to fill his mailbox with feathers.

Boy, we thought going after snakes and small gators,

in our neck of the woods, was bad enough! An emu dying

of a heart attack? Would've loved to been there we the

trooper explained the incident to his supervisor.....

The local newspaper created quite the stir with their story. Lot of angry
