A dammed Thief broke into my shop thursday night and lifted about 15 pounds of ginseng from my shop. Used a crowbar to break my lock and hasp off of both my shop door and a storage building I use to dry roots and store roots in. I guess you might say I was lucky. 14 pounds of the Ginseng was woodsgrown seng. It was all real big and real heavy. About 6 years old Some of the roots weighed over an 1 1/2 ounces each dry. If anybody in southern indiana hears about some one bragging about some great big ginseng they might have, I would like to hear about who might be doing the bragging. I have notified all most every dealer in the state as well as a dealer or two in Kentucky and Illinois.These dealers in turn are going to start notifying other dealers in each of the states. I would love to catch these scumbags.

sorry part is it`s someone you know and have dealt with. good chance you will find out who. let the dnr help you, if they will. they sure arrest guys for digging roots off others land, so I`d hope they are as enthusiastic about helping you. you carry business or farm rider insurance for that don? lot of snakes among us, and it`s disgusting. every one of my family members has had our homes broken in or items stolen in our lives. most never recovered. my dads rifle that was junk and meant a lot to me but hardly any value to the thief was the worst I lost. lot of bounced cks and other ways of theft. many trappers have stolen from me over the years too. the upside is every time a good lesson is learned and seems a replacement 100 times better comes into my life some way for every bad thing that has happened to me. the thieves, my guess is something 100 times worse happens to them.
