Well it appears we have gotten some results from our game cameras. Jose went home early today to find our computer and recording system making an alarm noise. He went running out back and founds some pens open. We have contacted the police and they are meeting my Dad and Jose to take a police report.
Two of our Sebastopols were stolen and it is on 'film'!!!!!
I love these cameras. After having a couple of very freaky Craigslist people at the house, we invested. Really was a great deal as I got them at a yard sale. Jose being the electrical genius that he is, has them hooked up to record and have an alarm sound in the house. I am pretty sure I recognize them but will have to go back thru my contacts to see if I can attach a name.
Obviously they aren't aware of the value of silkies or I suspect they would have disappeared too. I will put new/better locks on them anyway. At least some of my better ones are still in the house and/or in the barn brooder. I guess no more outside time in the runs unless we are home. Good thing they can't see worth a darn with all the fluff otherwise they might notice lack of grass in the barn.
We live pretty close to my parent's so Jose thinks we should put up an external alarm speaker and with some good volume, Mom and Dad should hear it. We live at the end of a dead end road but you have to pass all my family's farms to get to ours. Dad says he will put a gate that once the alarm sounds he can just shut and then call the police.
While typing this, Dad called and Gran (who sits and looks out of her windows all day) has a description of the truck. Go Gran! Maybe this will be a quick thing and I can get them back tonight.
Hopefully we will have some news before I get home. We have lost 4 family members in the last week and half, this is the last thing I need. I have to go to visitation tonight and then funeral again tomorrow with luncheon (expecting over 100) to follow at Mom's.
Ya'll pray for me before I kill something or someone.
