The More Things Change
"The era of dusty stagecoaches and wagon trains is long gone but cattle thieves - the bad guys in a thousand Westerns - never quite rode off into the sunset. Rustlers are now a growing menace in some parts of rural America, striking in the dead of night and sometimes selling their haul before the rancher or farmer discovers the animals are gone. "It's a low-risk, high-reward kind of crime and people figure that out very quickly," says Joe Rector, an investigator who tools around the back roads of central Oklahoma, a Glock 9 mm pistol on his hip, caramel-colored ostrich-skin boots on his feet, a police scanner buzzing in his ear." - USA Today
