Bat country

According to Jezebel, Hunter S. Thompson's widow, Anita Thompson, has returned the elk antlers that her husband once "secretly stole" from Ernest Hemingway’s home in Ketchum, Idaho. I guess that's a nice gesture and all (although both men are dead, but whatever), but the article sadly doesn't answer my most burning question: how the hell does one "secretly" steal a set of antlers? They're not exactly the kind of thing you can slip into your pocket.
