Stolen Horse--Man is BACK in jail!

[Lucky Ducky]

Another route to try is your local livestock inspector. Your horse is livestock, you have his papers and the contract. Live stock inspectors here can enforce laws pertaining to any livestock. For example, if a goat gets attacked by a dog and you call animal control, they do nothing the first time (just give a warning) BUT if you call the livestock inspector the dog is put down the first time. NO second chances. Maybe one close to you can give you some advice. It sounds like it SHOULD be simple but everyone ( the law) is making it difficult. Guy stole horse, sold horse to uncle. Uncle has now received stolen goods and is just as guilty as guy who stole horse. If it was your car or TV that would be enough for some action. I'm completely baffled over their inaction on this matter!

**Update**

After calling the ranger today to see if he made any headway, I get a call back that nobody in the DA office has heard about my report, seen the report or has heard anything about my issue. I have names of everyone I have talked to at the sheriff's office. The investigator for the sheriff's office said "The DA and I have decided that this is a civil suit. We can't help you until you go through the court system." And, at the end of the conversation he said "I know this ole boy and I'm sure he'll take care of your horse until this can be worked out."

I told the ranger everything I could about who took my statement, who filed it, and who called me and was supposedly handling the case. He is looking into what is going on down there.


He's going to be calling me back.

Thanks for bearing with me...I just didn't have any news until now!

That was my first thought too as soon as I read what he said.....they know him...it's the "good ol'boy system" in action.

I'm confused. The fact that you called the ranger today precipitated this call from the DA's office? That's not a good sign....

Oh, great, they're buddies - another ungood sign.

He's going to be calling me back.

And you're sure he's working in your best interests? I just want to understand where this ranger is coming from. I do hope you get your horse back!

No, the ranger called me back to tell me that he spoke with the DA and nobody had heard anything about the report that I made with the deputy.

I'm certain the ranger is working in my best interests. He's the only person who has even attempted to help me. That includes the sheriff's office in Tahlequah.

The ranger is the head of the Cattleman's Assoc. so he's at least attempting to get something going. None of the lawyers I spoke with even called me back. The only other route I can take is getting the OK Dept. of AG involved in league with the ranger. The ranger has already contacted the Dept. of AG which already knew about the case and told him everything they could about the man's whereabouts.

You are so patient... That horse would have been back in my yard already if I could have gotten it. I don't know how you restrain yourself. If people can walk off with our chickens so easily walking off with my own horse can not be that hard... Does the guy offer horseback rides...have a friend ride and not come back lol

One small step at a time I guess...
