Talking with George Kortum of Western Montana Fur Center, Anaconda MT he was recently broken into and a bunch of stuff stolen. Jewelry and odds and ends but what he mostly Cares about is a bunch of custom fur blankets are gone.
Lynx and Bobcat trimmed in Arctic fox and throw blankets of various species stolen.
Roughly 30 thousand worth of stuff.

So if you see or hear about fur blankets being sold that seems suspicious please let him know

It could make you $5,000

Jewelry could be going to the pawn shops and I doubt the average pawn shop owner would even take notice but if the fur blankets got offered he would probably remember that.
Good luck I hope yall find this creep and get that stuff back

Is that from his shop in Anaconda or while on the road from his vehicle?

That kind of crap is so darn disturbing. I sure hope they find the culprit (s).

buddy had about 12,000 in put up and bagged fur a couple years ago,was the teen he was helping out by giving him work in the shop.sad i have to spend a thousand dollars on cameras but its one of the frst things we got when we started our new shop/store.

i pray karma bites someone.bet its some one he knows.which brings in the worst part and thats thoughts it might be people it aint and you thought never would and trust is crushed.

Maggots need hung , or at the minimum a hand cut off !

No consequences keep thieves in business

Insurance keeps people from taking action

Utterly ridiculous. I will keep an eye open. I agree with Danny Clifton and AntiGov

Find them, press just enough to get the furs found and back, then dispose of body/bodies. Doubt they have hogs, but Grizzlies got to eat too.
