Melin, you write off the moose schlong as office equipment.
Have it stuffed and mounted, with a bronze placque that says, “Flea Bailey, Esq.” If audited, say it’s in honor of a partner.
It is sorta.
If nothing else, it’ll make one hell of a conversation piece in the office. Just tell deadbeat clients (harumph! that you took it in payment from the last fool who tried to stiff you (so to speak) for your fee.

'Chuck, this is Pete in the Channel 88 'copter. As you can see, we’re passing over the site where the stolen vehicles have been abandoned.
Local police are examining the evidence, but I understand that all fingerprints and similar forensic evidence have been obliterated by the copious use of alcohol.
Eye-witnesses say that a large number of people (plus unconfirmed reports of a Yeti) left the scene quietly. Apparently they were drug users, as several times the words ‘Strayed Dope’ were heard.
This is Chuck Itup from the scene of one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries. Will we ever know what really happened? - I doubt it!
::sneaking back in, looking under the empties for the property pass for the F-14::
“Oh, glee! How much drugs have you done? You’re sitting in a pile of Yeti shit, talking into cigar butt.
That, and you started out as Chuck and ended as Pete.
Pull yourself together, man!”
pssst… hey guys anyone else awake here? Guess what I just found way down here. I’m tempted to give a rousing speach about how we didn’t give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour, but I’m tired.

(best teacher voice) ‘actually old boy, it was the Japanese at Pearl Harbour. Now if you’ll go to the Internet to research the rest of the Pacific campaign…’
(casually glances further down SDMB) ‘whoaa!’
