encon police- sorry for one more additional question on this thread

lets say, hypothetically - a CT mountain lion continually visits my yard on a regular basis over some extended period of time - and we hit-it-off, become friends or "companions", so-to-speak... could I, in theory, utilize the mountain lion as an "enforcer" of some sort, in order to seek out and retrieve a stolen "piketoberfest 3rd place mug" from a certain fanatical wanna-be-pirate poacher?

if this would be considered an illegal activity- what would the penalty be, if caught? (just so I can weigh my options...)

thankyou in advance! I appreciate it !

sorry my pike advice didn't prove to be more useful- it was a tough day fishing-wise last sunday, for some reason.
