Stolen Trap

This piece is also now missing from my car, after the deer hit.  I don't know if its important to replace or at least cover that to keep wind and rain out when driving.   My car is square, so wind does affect it and that is now a wind sucker hole.  I found a replacement part on ebay motors and ordered it.  I love ebay motors.

 I loaned two traps to a Lebanon woman who went up yesterday to try to catch that kitten, seen crossing the road at milepost 10, up Quartzville.

Instead of catching it, she messages me the trap she left set unwatched for I don't know how long at a parking lot with restroom, was stolen.  WTF.

I'd told her never to leave a trap unwatched, but especially in a public place, even if remote.  Inside I was steaming that another person nodded when I gave instructions, then completely ignored them and lost an expensive trap.

But worse, I think, was there anything caught in that trap when stolen or what kind of person took it, and will they use it to harm animals.    But, I also thought, what would I do, if I saw a trap set, middle of nowhere, public place and nobody anywhere near, to check it.  I'd probably at the least sprng the trap.  I might wait 30 minutes and if no one showed up, take it, turn it in to police, something like that.

Anyhow, a blow but not the end of the world.  Maybe the biggest blow, can't trust her with my equipment now.

Today, there's a storm blowing.  Rain and wind.  Leaves blown down and falling like snow.   It's beautiful!
