Alexander Samor, 79, of Lebanon, was rescued Wednesday after he went duck hunting in Haverhill and became trapped in mud. Samor was found neck-deep in mud 33 hours after he left to go hunting. While New Hampshire Fish and Game enforcement officers were at the scene rescuing Samor, a man stole an agency boat trailer. It was parked at the Bedell Bridge boat ramp. The thief left with the trailer attached to a Chevy pickup truck with Massachusetts license plates. He was last seen driving north on Route 10 in Haverhill. Anyone with information on the theft or who recognizes the man was asked to call Fish and Game dispatchers at 603-271-3361. Samor was treated at a hospital for hypothermia and fatigue.
Looks like they recovered the trailer. https://www.wmur.com/article/fish-a...er-stolen-as-officers-rescued-hunter/23657317
I wonder what people like this are thinking? It's a trailer. It's registered with the DMV. It's not a TV or a lawnmower. These things can be traced.
Some cases, the thief has the same model trailer, and because theirs is rusted out or damaged, they filch another in better condition and transfer their stuff over.
I suppose I could see how a thief could use that logic. But that would only work for so long. However, truth be told, most run-of-the-mill thieves aren't going to be planning ahead, or worrying about the consequences of their actions.
