scotfalconer 7 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 went out today to check traps only to find some lowlife has stolen brand new No.6 Fenn trap, farm is not close to any housing but next door to fishery and there are jcb's from mobile telephone people on farm, i guess the culprit is one of the two.

nod 285 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 pegged? tied? may have caught a rabbit and fox or badger took it, peg might have been too small and rabbit not caught properly and took the trap down the hole Quote Link to post

perthshire keeper 1,237 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Im thinking about getting my post code stamped on the trap tongues wont stop somebody stealing them but i will know they where mine if i ever see them again good idea their was a keeper i know in yorkshire i knew and over the years he had hundreds of traps and snares stolen...any how one day he gets a shout from a pall saying he was driving thru a village and their was a garage door open and inside was hundreds and hundreds of traps.... so he rung the police and they all went down and the keeper says yeh their my traps...copper said how do you know? i just do says the keeper...... not good enugh says the copper so stamping your traps could be worth it in the ling run......the guy who stole them by the way? was a avid anti and had been beating on the estate for years to "gather intell" and trap sites Quote Link to post
