That sucks my sympathies go out to the victim/s. Might be someone that knows them or what they had. In the U.S. here we have package bandits. People who steal packages delivered to homes sitting on their porch. Someone stole one that had $1000 worth of tarantulas. Don't think they knew what was in the package though, it was on the news like last year I believe.

That owner must be going through hell. I cannot imagine what it must feel like.

Is there a white tailed Tarantula, or should that be a spider? I know white tailed spiders exist.

was just about to ask the same thing. Don't think the white tail is a tarantula. Not one that I am aware of.

This sucks BTW. Hope the Ts bite the thieving bast@rds hands!

I think I know the house, they have a big aviary in the back garden.
I remember that, I bet they got a shock when they opened that parcel

It's disgusting that people feel the need to steal anything from someone let alone there tarantulas - those chicks inside those eggs probably won't survive now either..
I wish worse on them than getting bitten though :mad:
