with the recent surge in adoptable thieves, there's also been a slowly increasing trickle of trolls. It's important to release that the entire point of trolls is to piss you off . Reasoning with them - or just calling them an idiot or a theft -  is pointless and is literally giving them what they want. The best tactic (IMHO) is say nothing, report and then if anybody tries to buy one, NOTE THEM or comment on their PROFILE alerting them to the fact that they are trying to buy from a thief.

Current obvious troll example would be VaVaVoomRWR

Identifying trolls;
:bulletblack: If they're playing up the the whole 'they stole them from me!!!11!" (especially if they're actually saying that) or making an outrageous  claim (i'm sockjuice!! ) they are a troll.
:bulletblack: If they reply to you to call you a liar instead of hiding your comment or blocking you, they're probably a troll.
:bulletblack: if they seem really, really stupid (like more than believable) - they're probably a troll.
:bulletblack: REMEMBER; the purpose of trolls is to get a reaction. Observe before commenting - your first instinct may be to call them an asshole or a life-waster, but that just feeds the fire.

Reminder; saying ANYTHING or showing any reaction other than reporting them and alerting people that they are a thief is just giving them what they want.

this has been a public service announcement.
