Like most low life stinkin' theives, They'll eventually give themselves away. I can picture some jerk catching a monster bass on one of these babies, start bragging about how he "acquired" them, and then WHAM!!! He's in a whole world of hurt!
It's creeps like this that REALLY tick me off. If I came across someone TRYING to steal ANYTHING from me, their name wouldn't be mud, it would be CHUM!
Hopefully cooler minds will prevail when the time comes, but only after a little "justice" is handed out.
