'Wall of Shame' stolen from DNR

Does Barney Fife work there? It's somewhat like the mouse stealing food out of the cat dish?

I hope they are caught and prosecuted, but I must be a bad person, because a little part of me is laughing hysterically at the irony of the situation.

This made me chuckle a little too. Makes you wonder what these guys planned on doing with all of it? and why no one seen them doing it!

Star Trib is reporting that the thieves were caught and at least some of the stuff has been recovered. Glad to hear it.

DNR trophy mounts recovered; men arrested

Last update: January 14, 2011 - 8:33 AM

St. Paul Police on Thursday recovered some of the items stolen earlier this month from a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources facility, including trophy whitetail mounts.

Two men were arrested and booked on charges related to the incident and a third man who is believed to be involved was already in custody on unrelated charges, police said.

Thieves broke into the DNR facility on the 700 block of East Conway between Jan. 7 and Jan. 10. Thousands of dollars worth of tools and other equipment were stolen as well as 18 trophy whitetail mounts that were on the DNR's "Wall of Shame" exhibit. The mounts had been taken by poachers and were used in a display to encourage people to play by the rules.

Good news - Hopefully everything can be recovered. A few 8x10 mugshots hanging in the Wall of Shame would make a nice conversation piece.

The government hates competition.
