Hey guys – we hear a lot of reports of crab thieves. We know they are out there, and it seems pretty bad so far this year. I know one caught people pulling his pots and simply threatened them about what would happen if they did it again – that does not deter them in the least! If you catch someone pulling your pots, at least take pics and turn it in. If you know your crab were taken, also report it – I know most of us don't want to be "big cry babies," but the authorities aren't going to do anything unless there are A LOT of complaints. And they need to do something.
And yes, there are also a lot of people who claim their pots were stolen, which generally isn't the case and is more-likely operator error. But there are ways to tell someone has been in your pots, and that is what I'm referencing. It's so frequent, I think people must be selling them because what the heck, man!?!???
