In some cases people are in and out quickly and we don't have a chance to apprehend them. Dr. Stark is right that in many cases the authorities simply don't make it a priority to come to the farm, and farmers get frustrated. They get to the point that they throw their hands up and say, “Why bother if nobody is going to come and help protect me?” Unless there's a direct threat to human safety that's noted in a phone call to police, they typically put it way down on the list of priorities. I understand that our local police forces are stressed as far as manpower goes, but we aren't getting any action from authorities. They aren't coming out to investigate these on-farm break-ins and the trespassing.
