Watch out for thieves !!!

On March 30,  and April 13 2008 someone (we are pretty sure who it was but can't prove it quite yet)

came onto our farm and stole 45 high quality breeding/show koi from our outside tanks worth over $100,000. We know exactly which fish were taken and we have pretty good evidence as to who did it. Please if you have any information leading to an arrest and/or recovery in this case we will reward you with $5,000. If your information leads to the recovery of these koi or a conviction is made you will get your reward.  It is important to recover our fish and see justice done, but it is equally important for all koi owners to protect themselves against this kind of crime. We understand that others have been similarly robbed in the past several weeks and want to help them too in any way we can.

If anyone mysteriously offers you large 18-28" very high quality fish for sale in the next several weeks, please give us a call and give us a chance to identify these fish.. Here are some photos that might help identify them.

In the meantime if you have any information please call
