Hmmm...I seem to recall that Thranduil's complaint also included the Dwarves molesting his people (ie., interrupting their festivities), and the Dwarves were also chasing a white deer about the forest (symbolic I know, but evidently under the province of Thranduil). I don't have access to The Hobbit at work (because if I did, nothing would get done), so quote away those who have the time and inclination..
