Here's what doesn't make sence to me though. I talked to one of my friends that's there and she said they didn't mess with the regular saddle. Said everything they got was trophies saddles. It seems to me that this wasn't just a theif. It seems like it someone that has something aginst them and there doing it just to be mean.

^^^This. I've had my tack room broken into, saddles stolen (when I was younger in a boarding stable). Happens all the time. I've even heard of people stealing tack at barrel races, taking from tack compartments and taking off of horses. That's why I keep my stuff locked at all times!! I try to keep my horses where I can see them, too. |

It seems like it someone that has something aginst them and there doing it just to be mean. Could be any number of reasons why they didn’t take the “regular” saddle…. the other saddles were in the closer to the door ….they were not picky and took what they could get FAST……they got scared off before they got it…… keep in mind thieves are not “smart” !
eta: if it was just to be mean....why would they take pads, bits, etc.....
