Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
We had several rabbits stolen from our barn last night, if you see any of these Holland Lops please let us know. We have filed a police report. We are in Livingston county. Thank you.

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
OMG wow why would someone do such a thing? If a rabbit is tattooed why would they bother stealing it when they know it can be tracked down. I am so sorry this happened! *hugs*

Oh how awful - people are so... so.... I don't think I can even come up with a "proper" word to describe them.

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
So sorry to hear about this, Dangerbunny.
These days nothing is safe. I hope you'll be able to tighten up your security so this kind of thing doesn't happen again.
I don't know how many rabbits you have or why they stole the ones they did. Is there any pattern to it that might lead to a suspect?

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
That's terrible. I'm from Michigan (other side of the state).
I wonder if it was some kids being mean, or some "animal rights" people....... Hope you find them!!!
If they are kept outside you can VERY inexpensively install a motion sensor light so if someone walks in your yard the light goes on. That might scare them away.
I helped a friend who's barn was getting broke into a few times. I installed a motion light and also attached a car alarm I got from the junk yard. Needless to say he heard it go off in the middle of the night (as did probably everyone within 1/4 mile of his house), he never had the problem again! Bet it scared the jerks to death!!!!
There's a big rabbit show at MSU next Saturday. You should distribute flyers to EVERYONE there with this information and PICTURES TOO!

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
it's easy to steal AND hide rabbits unfortunately.
Best defense is a good offense... make it too difficult to steal them. And scare tactics and locks. Cameras help too if you find a way to hide them so the camera isn't stolen....

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
That is awful. My bunnies are my babies and I don't know what I would do if one was stolen. Will keep an eye out but doubt they would come to small area. But will watch just in case.

Re: Stolen Holland Lops in Michigan
even though this is a very old thread, it is something everyone should be concerned about, especially with the "new more disrespectful", variety of "animal rights activist"..- When I lived in California, I had some trouble with someone breaking into my rabbit barn, I filed a police report,posted a no trespassing, and beware of dog sign, and put the pyrenees in the barn,[as suggested by the sheriff deputy who came by to investigate and "make the report"], -a break in was only attempted one more time- I didn't find out who it was , but they left their pry bar behind when they left.
