For Robert Hansen it was no big deal, apparently, to take his hunting trophies off the walls of his den, hide them somewhere and then call his insurance agent and report them stolen. No big deal to take the settlement money. No big deal to take that money and put it toward a new airplane. If you’re Robert Hansen, it’s no big deal to be stealing from yourself. Heck, how could you even steal it, if it was yours in the first place?<\/p>\n

Sure enough, though, when troopers got inside Hansen’s house, there were all the stolen trophies, proud as ever on the walls of his den. At this point, it wasn’t only Cindy Paulson who had seen them. Troopers were sure Hansen’s insurance company would appreciate an update on their current location.<\/p>\n
