found our truck in Olive Branch Ms - Memphis... no trailer or Bush hog Z turns.
'
they have even been stealing calves... roadblocks looking for trailers, horse trailers, enclosed trailers... nothing... I was told today at a routine roadblock a big "pimp car" had an arm stick out a partially lowered window with license - the officer told him to roll the window down when he heard a MOOOOOOOO - removed back seat - cattle rustling machine.,,,

that's right, lasso a calf, open both rear doors, pulling thru push it in slam the doors and head to the corral... John Whayne's bad guys -eat your heart out... $2000 / week profit - until you get caught, shot or calves run out..

There was a couple stories about that here in Iowa. One was a couple well known thieves from Davis City area. They rustled a few cattle and drove them in a stolen trailer to a sale in IL. They might have gotten away with it had they not demanded cash only. Not long after that, one of them was found beaten to death in the ditch near Davis City. As far as I know, they haven't figured out who beat the guy. The victim whose cattle were stolen was cleared of any wrong doing, however, people I know in Decatur co say they wouldn't put it past him. A couple more were recently caught near Mt Pleasant IA rustling cattle.

I know John Deere has a stolen equipment database, what about Kubota or Bush Hog? When your JD machine goes to the dealer for service, their operating system automatically cross checks your serial number on the stolen list.

A friend of mines dad used to buy caves at the livestock auction and haul one or two home in a VW squareback. He was an "unusual" guy!
I heard a story of several people loosing everything from livestock to a small metal building up in Northern Colorado. It was pretty well known who was responsible. One day he just disappeared, never heard about a body being found but there are a lot of miles of nothing but pasture and dryland wheat fields. Most of the ranchers and farmers have backhoe loaders. Just sayin...

Brian your right about the JD data base. local dealer had a zero turn mower taken from in front of the building (they cut cable tying them together) and about one year later a fella came in for parts that needed S/N to id right production group. Came up on screen as stolen, parts guy sold him the part and guy paid by check, cops went out to his place and there was the stolen zero turn.

Grandpa used to haul hay in the back of the family sedan. Same car that had to be used to go to church on Sunday morning. There wasn't such a thing as multiple vehicles back in the day. They had no choice but to make do with what they had. And could afford

Back in the 40s dad would take deacon calfs to the stock yard in the trunk of the family car. Back then the sale was held once a week, so the calf was 1 to 6 days old.
