That really sucks. Why the hell would people steal these items?
To understand these creatures I suggest we trap a few for scientific study. We could set up a box propped with a stick. Then bait it with pocket lint, an energy drink, and a half eaten twinkie.
Once we have learned the behaivors of these unique creatures we can find an appropriate, humane, method of extermination. Something like feeding them a supply of organic food, and grooming supplies. Either that or club them like fur seals.
WTF???

Fuggin' tweakers. I always thought it'd be cool to wire a commercial battery to my door handles as a shock deterent.
