Animal Trap Stolen From Wallingford Animal Control

WALLINGFORD, CT — An animal trap was stolen from the Wallingford Animal Control and officials want it back — with no questions asked.

“We let someone borrow two of our Havahart traps to catch their indoor kitty that got out my mistake,” the animal control wrote in a post on Facebook. “They caught their cat, and returned both traps after hours. We have confirmation that they did indeed return both traps. They left them by our door.

“We are VERY upset that someone STOLE one of our traps. These traps are expensive, and we use them daily. It is an essential tool that we use. Sometimes, we allow people to borrow traps, but we always make sure to collect their information so that we can get them back. We only have a few, and they are like gold to us.

“Stealing is WRONG, no matter how you slice it. Please return our trap if you took it. If you needed to borrow one, you could have asked first.

“We just want our trap back, so please return it, no questions asked.”

The Wallingford Animal Control is located at 5 Pent Road and the phone number is (203) 294-2180.
