Hello,
I am a delivery person south of the twin cities. My route covers over 100 square miles. I know and care for hundreds of residents on my route. Today I encountered a man who looked to be in his 60s along with an adult woman and an infant child. They were trespassing on property owned by one of my customers in order to steal morels. I confronted them as they were getting into their car and asked them if they had permission from the land owner to take mushrooms, they did not. They left when I told them the owner does not allow morel pickers on his land. I got his licence number. This happens every year several times on my route since there are many morels on my route.
Do you morel hunters who enter private land to steal mushrooms without permission realize you can be arrested for trespassing and theft ? You can go to jail. The deputy sheriff is also a land owner down here and does not appreciate the annual trespassing spree. He will arrest trespassers and thieves. Do you realize many farmers count on the extra revenue the morels bring in each year (no matter how hit and miss).
If I see these particular thieves again on my route I will be calling the deputy. I will also call on cars parked near the edges of woods were they should not be. The steeling spree will have it's consequences. Is the trill worth jail time?
