Then why so many tales about hanging horse thieves? Well,there was a lot sensationalization about the "Wild West".It's no different than the "if it bleeds,it leads" type of reporting in our media today. Which is it? Either horses could be left unattended safely or horse thieves stole them all the time and there were necktie parties regularly. But did it happen OFTEN? I don't believe so. Regularly,I don't believe so,either. Here in the "Not-so-wild West", it's possible to leave doors unlocked and horses unattended, without much fear of theft. Mary -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net
