Ugh... That's horrible.
Not good...also she said not the first time....must be close people...assuming nobody would've known if she got koi pet in the backyard...just saying...
I think that these thefts are caused by this obscene notion that all koi are extremely valuable. I think that this article is going to do more harm than good. They estimate the price of some of the fish at well over $3,000.00..... now any kid who reads this is going to think that robbing a pond is a quick payday.
First loss was mink.
Wondering if hubby shares her love of the hobby. She went on vacation and he stayed home."I had been away for the week in Spain and I left my husband to look after the fish which he had been doing every day, and then when he went out to check on them they had disappeared, they had been stolen," she said.
I've often thought about that as a possibility. Terrible to hear that it actually happens.
