Carlos,

I'm real sorry to hear about something like this happening.  I can imagine what a crushing blow it would be.  Personally, I would spend my last dime tracking down the culprits and administer some back alley style justice.

If those adult corns you got from me were taken, I believe I still have the photos of them.  Would be a snap to post them here.

Heck, now this has me wondering if it might be a good idea to set up a separate section solely for listing stolen animals. That might be worthwhile setting up and have a central location for people to check on for situations like this.

Rich ,
thats a very good idea however it would be nice to know it was never used , if ya know what i mean  lol  i think the population would like that added in as well

I too live in Florida, and we found evidence of someone trying to break into our house when we were gone. Whoever tried was pretty stupid apparently. One of our neighbors said they heard very loud noises coming from this direction when we think they tried to get in.

The person(s) trying to get in probably figured he/she/they were making too much noise and left or they could have heard/seen us coming home and parking the car in the driveway and hauled a$$....

When we saw someone had taken off the screen on one of the back windows and saw prying marks on the window, we knew someone tried..

I don't even tell people around here that I have snakes. Maybe 2 or 3 people know. Only one of them is into snakes, and he's too chicken 3$IJ to steal anything, but I wouldn't put it past him telling someone else where they are for the taking..

I figured whoever it was was probably after my music equipment, as I've probably got $20,000 worth of equipment, but there's always a chance they were after my snakes, which isn't worth near as much $$$.

Carlos
send me a list and I will keep my eyes open at the reptile show this weekend here in Mi.
Rich, I like your idea of a theft section but, it could possibly get abused by some people that could be putting blame else
where[like off themselves], or by vindictive idiots with a grudge  fft
peace

There has been a lot of bad things happening with animals lately.  

A few weeks ago a pet store burned down (in New Jersey) and a lot of animals died.  Further, the animals that did live are at an animal hospital and are burned badly.  

Two weeks ago, some punk neighborhood kids smashed our 8 foot by 6 foot storefront window.  It killed 2 of my adult dumerils (the glass cut and/or crushed them.)

Now someone kills Carlos' dog and steals his animals.  Obviously it had to be someone who knows you Carlos.  Most people don't walk around with poison to kill a dog, unless they know they are going to encounter a dog.  What kind of dog was it?

Hello Ciro and all the fellows. Bandit was a Black German Sheeper. Right at the end of my back yard is a public park, the police say maybe I been watching without we notice. Even my daughter make a sign in the school that say “Daddy’s Snake Room” and I have that hanging in the door of my snake house. I never believe some one can break in a property and kill a dog to steal snakes, man that is unbelievable. But I guarantee every one that will be the first and the last, if ever any one try again they will find a fatal surprise. In this world nothing is hided forever and I know one day I will find out who do this. The snakes can be replaced, but not our dog . Thanks to every one that is looking for those ……………

Pitbulls, eh Josh? The only dog I was raised around. And the only dog I will raise my kids around. My last one was a 105lb. purebred Colby bloodline pit. Hey, I'll pay for the shipping. Send me one. *LOL* &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
