A farmstead that is known or appears to be abanded or deserted is sure to be hit by thieves. Seen it happen myself time and time again in my area. I myself am guilty of being nosey and walking through abandoned farmstead buildings, excetra while out hunting and so on. Walked through a number of houses that were pretty delapitated (nobody lived in for years). I can't remember actually ever taking a single thing (not that I would, but thieves had most likely already cleaned out everything that was there to get in most cases). I have seen alot of neat house floor plans and some really neat old barns. I believe a very high percentage of people would admit to doing the same thing if they were honest. Makes a guy wonder what percentage of those people would take something, which would make them a thief. I bet it would be a high figure percentage as well. I bet if the truth be known, most of the people posting here can tell a story of themselves going through a building or perhaps even taking something. I hate to rattle on here, but this is the reality of farmsteads being a very high risk for theft. Farmsteads also are generally in a remote area, which just adds fuel to the fire. Sounds like these two women are just out and out robbers. Glad to here the old feller got the chance to wack em around. Hope he don't get into trouble for it. Nothing worse than a thief. Even a lier is better than a thief.
