I have never actually seen one of those types of traps. Is it possible to take one apart? If so I would take the necessary tools and take it apart and leave it in pieces (making sure that one of the necessary parts disappeared for good). Using gloves would make sure that no fingerprints were left behind.

If you didn't want to go that route, you might want to consider removing the trap and leaving a note where it could be collected and then tell the idiot that you will not return it until he pays for any vet bills for your injured baby.

Couple of facts that occur to me: 1. The trap has no name on it. 2. I'm guessing it is on . . . . . Stinky The Clown Nov 2012 #8
