AdvertisementSeveral instances over the past three weeksAdvertisementCriminal mischief on the rise at Scatter Joy AcresSeveral instances over the past three weeksA busted padlock, gates left wide open, and a stolen ATV. Those are just some of what Scatter Joy Acres said they've had to deal with over the last few weeks."I don't sleep at night wondering what's gonna happen next," Joy Bartling said. "Who's the victim next?"Bartling, the executive director of Scatter Joy Acres, said the trouble started about three weeks ago, after she spoke with some teenagers on ATVs near the farm's horses."We were actually driving out and they were driving back and forth on the road," Bartling said, "And we stopped them and said, 'hey, can you slow down, you're scaring the horses, barbed wire fence.'"Two days later, she said staff found a broken padlock and the gates wide open."The majority of these animals are here because of abuse or a trauma anyway, and then you have people who want to put more stress on them, and not only that, the staff is stressed out," Bartling said.Bartling said security camera video caught the most recent incident: someone stole an ATV from their property. It was recovered later that night."We just need to stop it now," Bartling said. "There's no reason for it. We've done nothing to you except tell you a couple 'no's.'"Bartling said they have gone to the police, but would rather hear an apology than press charges."There's other ways you can give up that time to tons of communities and organizations to give back that idle time," Bartling said. "Instead of harming, let's help our community."Staff said no animals have been injured from any of these instances, but they're hoping they stop before someone gets hurt.A busted padlock, gates left wide open, and a stolen ATV.
