Bunny Thief

[chainedbarista]

thanks to you and the teen for safeguarding those poor creatures; no animal should ever have the misfortune of being owned/taken/stolen by some random dumbass.

What a sick, stupid woman. People like that shouldn't even HAVE pets. I wonder how long before she gets caught trying to steal something else?

I've heard that coral snakes are extremely colourful - maybe she'll try stealing one that's on display somewhere?

[Midnight_Angel]

What on gods green earth every put the thought in your head that it is appropriate to just take something without asking first?

Actually, I follow the theory that this kid of people have helium in their skullt, rather than brains. After all, they seem to need the buoyancy force for being able to walk upright...

Now, what did the poor little snake do wrong to deserve that?

"I'll just take this 100lb gold bar from the US treasury. I am sure nobody would mind..I mean look at how many they have laying around..."

[Dreamstalker]

Children trying to steal, parents denying that their children would ever do such things, and otherwise clueless people thinking that everything is free at a fair.

That's one of the things I'm wondering about for doing craft fairs. I plan to have a booth with a friend anyway, but having any of my stuff stolen... I wonder what the thieves say if anyone asks "Did you get that at the fair? Who made it?"

I was at the local Waldorf fair a few years ago and a vendor had a knight looming by her table. It was just her daughter with some very well-done "armor" and a wooden sword, but it got the point across.

That's why I specified a coral snake, instead of just any snake. If that woman's reaction was "Ooh - pretty snake, I'll take it", it would be the last thing she ever tried to steal. Extremely potent venom, combined with zero availability of antivenom in the U.S., leads to thief looking at the lawn from the dirty side.

Well, it's not like they're doing anything with them. The gold bars are just sitting around gathering dust. They're not even on display.

That is a pretty snake...

There are some snakes that resemble this one...mimicry to protect themselves no doubt. Just remember the saying though; "red on yellow, kill a fellow". Or just don't pick up wild snakes :P

Too bad she couldn't have pulled out the rabbit from "The Twilight Zone".

And wooden swords can still hurt like hell.

Trust me on this . . . I won't.

hmm... advice that works well both in the forest and in the bar. I like it!

King snakes. Also very pretty, which translates to "I have poison in my faaaaaangs! Oooooo scaaaaaary!" but they're actually harmless.

Sneaky snake goes dancin' wigglin' and a-hissin'
Sneaky snake goes dancin' gigglin' and kissin'


And he steals all our root beer!

[fireheart]

Wonder what the lady would've done if she tried to steal a taipan.

(for those of you unfamiliar with snakes, they are among THE most deadliest snakes. Even with antivenom, it takes a while to recover)

Also re the craft fair display, one guy I know had displays out on tables, attached to either the table or to the cloth with some cable ties. He then had his actual stock behind the counter so it couldn't be stolen.
