Our county court judge would use maximum penalty. He has trapped. He really punishes trespassing ginseng diggers.

I've had some good luck getting a trap thief prosecuted.
The guy was a trespassing dog-walker, a former trapper that knew my traps were there but let his dog get into them anyhow. He stole two, left the usual note, "Your paying my vet bills, I'm calling the PGC and the state police to report your illegally set traps, blah, blah, blah."
I left him a note at the set location saying, "You can use the ID number on the tags on the traps you stole when you report to the PGC. They will then know who I am."
The idiot did it, called the PGC and gave them my ID number. They went to visit him, collected my stolen traps and eventually returned them to me.
The issued him citations which he fought in front of a district judge and lost. He ended up paying over $300.00 in fines and court cost.
Another trespassing, dog-walking couple stole my traps after an incident and called the PGC. I got a knock on my door one evening and there stood two wardens with my traps. I asked, "Now what?" They explained and ask me if I had permission to trap that property. I told them yes and to go ask the landowner. He confirmed I did and told the wardens no one but me should be on his property as I was the only one he had given permission to.
I got my traps back.
The trespassers got off with a warning that time. They were told they would be prosecuted if they or their dog came on the property again.
I hope this works out for you.
Eh...wot?
