The EGG SNATCHER

[Mckennas poultry]

so recently I read someone else’s post on their eggs getting stolen so I wanted to share a story with yous

So last year our new neighbors moved in and they loved the outdoors, (they slept in tents all summer long)
They loved our chickens, sometimes we’d see them peeping over the fence to have a look....
that’s when we stopped getting eggs, they were disappearing, no matter how early I checked they were always gone, that’s when I bought a camera to catch the snatcher red handed, the next day me and my family had a look at the tape to see our neighbors jumping over the fence with a bin bag in their hands, they were taking our vegetables too, I warned them about it and said if I ever caught them again I’d be at them with my lump hammer and then they moved away, just a funny story I would like to share

Ay-ay-ay! Wow I’ve heard about neighbors NOT liking the chickens, but never about neighbors actually stealing eggs. Not only is that trespassing, but it is also theft! You could go to court with that, lol.

I would have hid in the nesting box if I could fit in there then jumped out and slam an egg right in the theifs face. be like I SEEN YOU NOW!!

The folks in tents here did not steel my eggs, but did go to jail for meth,,,, good that yours moved on!

My neighbors steal my peaches. Every year. The second year I thought the tree wasn't producing. They come late at night and help themselves. Drives me nuts.

I would have had the sheriff office arrest them for trespassing.
That is a cold low down dirty thing to do, steal from your neighbors.

We had a neighbor that would try to steal gasoline from us. We also used to have a bar like 50 feet away from our house, one night a drunk guy got in a fight with the owner of the bar and he stormed out. The drunk guy saw our barn down the hill and assumed it belonged to the owner of the bar, he came into our barn and beat one of the horses up with a bat and knocked its teeth out. Another bad neighbor story happened last summer, someone's cat killed one of my bunnies and brought it back to the owners house and left it on the front doorstep. The owner woke up to a dead bunny and was so mad, she came zipping down my driveway in her car, ran over a skateboard, hopped out and cussed at me for "breeding rabbits and using them to attract coyotes to her house" not sure how she came up with that... Also not sure how she has never had other dead animals brought to her doorstep by her cat...
