On the Midi Pyrenees news we have just watched in the market in Limogne baskets full of truffles being sold. The news though was not all good with stories of thieves stealing not only the truffles from under the trees but stealing the young trees themselves. The truffle growers have taken to stringing cameras up in the trees hoping to catch the thieves. Truffles are an expensive commodity and specially trained dogs are used to find these culinary treasures. Dogs are probably easier to handle than the pigs which used to be used. A truffle hunting dog can be worth a lot of money and they are sometimes stolen.
