Wall of shame stolen

This has to be an all time low. Hope they find the people responsible.

Wall of shame stolen from DNR

What a bunch of low life …….

How do you think that will affect the decision to raise the price of a license?

Holy Irony Batman!

losers

Seriously? The whole thing? Where was it kept?

Obviously the people that stole everything had an idea of what was in that storage place. Ironic for sure. They won’t get too far with those mounts. They’re pretty famous.

I have nothing to back this up, but with the price of trophy buck racks, I would think it could be a very lucrative theft for the crooks.

Not to say I would not like to watch the thieves fall down a flight of stairs, all accidental like

Sadly, I’m guessing most of this stuff goes out of state and will never be recovered. Sounds like these guys knew what they were doing vs. the per chance crook.

I’m sure they have hundreds of thousands $$$ worth of racks there.

So . . .

When they find the thief

Do ya suppose they’ll taxidermy HIS head and then mount it on the Wall of Shame ?

Irony and Poetic Justice all rolled into one

Somebody will be purchasing an antler lamp having no idea the story behind that hot rack…

Irony at it’s best… Unreal

Wow! I bet they grind up all them racks and sell it over seas as “booner” medicine. Big market for that over there if ya’ll didn’t know.

wow….can’t make that up…

now, if they catch them, do they make a wall of shame, on the wall of shame?

Unreal story – I’d like to know how they transported all those mounts? Did they have a bus for a getaway car or what??

sorry this story is kind of hilarious.

x2. Not ‘kind of’……I find it very, very funny.

Catch em, stuff em, and hang them next to the mounts. These are the same guys that think nothing of stealing our fishing rigs, equipment, and if they can’t they vandalize them. Sorry. It touched a nerve.

Wow; if we combine these two suggestions, welllll . . .that would make quite an interesting addition to the Wall of Shame display.

My criminal mind is that they’re were probably the ones who were busted for poaching and came back for revenge on DNR. Did I say that right = criminal mind.

A Tomato saves the day!….

The theft of a tomato led police to the alleged culprits involved in the theft of more than $40,000 worth of equipment — including a collection of deer, bear and walleye mounts — from a state Department of Natural Resources building in St. Paul earlier this month.

Timothy K. Heidenreich, 39, of St. Paul, was charged Thursday in Ramsey County District Court with one count of third-degree burglary. Terry K. Cotton, 37, and Shane J. Rylander, 40, both of St. Paul, were charged with possession of stolen property. Both were ordered to appear in court March 7.

According to the criminal complaints and other court documents:

St. Paul police learned on Jan. 10 that someone had broken into the DNR’s metro storage facility on Warner Road and stolen outboard motors, power tools, chain saws, computers, trailer ramps and 19 animal and fish mounts. The mounts were part of the DNR’s “Wall of Shame,” a traveling exhibit of poached wildlife meant to encourage people to follow hunting regulations.

That same day, a deputy allegedly saw Heidenreich snatch a tomato from the cafeteria at the Washington County Courthouse in Stillwater. Heidenreich was arrested after he gave the deputy a fake ID. He was charged Jan. 11 with gross-misdemeanor and misdemeanor counts of giving an officer a false name.

While Heidenreich was in the Washington County jail, he called Cotton and told him about a van parked near his house “loaded with goods.” He told Cotton to sell the power tools and computers to get money for bail and to “keep some of the items for his services,” the complaint said.

He told Cotton: “It’s like Christmas in there.”

Later, an informant told St. Paul police that Heidenreich was storing the animal mounts and tools at a house in the 700 block of Conway Street, where Cotton and Heidenreich’s girlfriend lived.

Police put the house under surveillance and saw Rylander and another man taking power tools from the back yard and loading them into a van. Rylander told police that Cotton had told him the tools were there and that he had paid Cotton $150 for two Stihl chain saws, a Stihl leaf blower, a Stihl branch trimmer and a Dewalt power tool kit. He said he knew the tools were stolen, according to authorities.

Police searched the Conway Street house on Jan. 13 and found most of the other DNR equipment.

Cotton later told investigators that Heidenreich came to his house on Jan. 9 in a van and carried “items with fur” toward the back of house. He told Cotton he’d “made a big score of tools, boat motors and mounts,” the complaint said. “Heidenreich said the mounts were worth thousands and he was going to keep the bear mount.”

Heidenreich has a lengthy history of theft, burglary, drug and driving offenses stretching over the past 20 years. He is currently serving time at St. Cloud prison for a theft conviction in Kanabec County.

Cotton has been convicted of robbery, check forgery, selling marijuana and domestic assault in the past. Rylander has mostly driving offenses on his record.
Give me that filet o’ fish! Give me that fish!

Wow… really who lets this POS out of jail…
