Stealing

I regularly read a chicken forum. I get lots of information about raising chickens along with some great stories about chickens. I was shocked the first time I read that someone had installed a security camera to catch who was stealing their chickens. Really? Someone would steal chickens? Usually this sort of thing happens in areas that are much more populated than mine. Okay, that doesn't really mean much since where I live is sparsely populated. Still, I can't believe that someone would just take someone else's animals, especially chickens! Its just one of those things that I have a hard time wrapping my head around and understanding. Chicken stealing. Really?
