Once they catch the perp they nee to charge him with being a horse thief as well as anything they want to tag on.

The perp needs a little old fashioned justice under that charge, Judge Roy Bean style.

Well, you know the Amish have been doing drive-by beard slashings so I wouldn’t be surprised if some were going rogue and stealing horses or cattle rustling!
LOL!
