to the pos that stole my camera

[greenhead_killer]

hey if anyone see pics floating around with this backdrop let me know. if it leads to a name of who stole it, ill give you $500. and to the person that did steal it, you went with the full intent to steal this. you had all the tools, bolt cutters, drivers, etc, to do the job quick and efficiantly. when i do find you, i will be your worst nightmare. good luck hiding from me.

I just heard that one of the information giants (Google, Instagram, or someone) is working on a way to 'fingerprint' the inherent signal and noise patterns in digital sensors so that they could be readily identified and possibly even searched. So if someone posts an image from a stolen trail camera online, they could possibly be linked.

its the principle of the whole thing. its only a 100$ set up, but the fact that someone went with all the tools necessary to steal a cam, i just dont get it. with how far off the beaten path this is and severity of the hike, you know its another hunter. thats what really pisses me off. oh and if you do know who stole this, a pm will work just fine.

Throwing away principle for the sake of convenience is a theme this year.

I assume this is on public land not a tree farm or something.  I know members have had cameras removed from timber land before.

I was pretty hot to start but somewhat cooling down. This is all public and the third one in three years I've had stolen. I've had 2 people cross this cam in the last two years, just not easily accessible. Just burns me to my core though that people have a desire to do this. Because I leave my truck parked off a road in the mountains now makes it fair game for whoever drives by?? I think not. Personal property is personal property regardless of where it is. Just makes no sense to me. I'm sure it's not the first or last cam this person has stolen. And nothing is ever too soon macs lol. A little
Humor is good.

just a matter of time before we get a pic of one of these d bags in the act!!!   And I agree 100% that it's hunters for the most part!

No place is safe that is for sure.  I had one on my private posted property, had a guy shoot a deer and then open the camera and delete the photos. He didn't realize there was another camera pointed at the first camera.  He wouldn't come clean until I showed him the other photo proving what he did.  At least he left the camera and the SD card, sorry you weren't so lucky.

I have had some cameras stolen too.  Makes me furious!  You mentioned that they must've had tools, so was it in a lock box?  I was feeling smug about my camera being in a lock box lagged to the tree, but now...  

So so frustrating that hunters would do this to eachother!  I totally get the intense feeling of frustration when you find that you aren't the only one hunting "your" honey hole, but c'mon stealing my camera isn't going to help!

People can hunt away. It's public land, I have no problem with that. But to take the whole set up, box, lock, cable lock, and make it look as if nothing was ever there. I get some really great animals up there. Some years are awesome, some are tankers. Here's a few of the quality from this spot.

[buglebrush]

Wow those are some fantastic photos!  I hope you find whoever did it!

This is 6+ years of hard work. Lots of hours finding the right spots and packing in whatever I needed to. It's just disappointing. Flat out that's all I can come up with.

You are going to give me ulcers now worrying about my cameras I hung yesterday.  It takes me a full day to get in and out of there, so I was going to soak until late August.  Maybe I should check them sooner...  I would be devastated not to see what was hitting my salt!
