Causing injury however minor to protect low value personal property on public land could get you in jail and possibly sued....Remember, trail cam theft's are very low misd crimes, and these days the offender will not even see jail. Let alone a judge....ever.

Let alone a judge....ever.Totally agree! I have no plans of such, my plan up my sleeve was a plan on how to catch them! Not even sure it worth wasting the energy to catch them. But what sucks is that they will do it again, and again and again until when...that what bothers me. If nothing is done then we will just keep encouraging them to steal at will...kinda like shopping at target in California now. Grab what you want and walk out. Social embarrassment may be the only punishment they get. But most probably won't even care of that.
Use cellular cams so you get you photos even if camera is down and disable the camera once you know it's been taken. It will be useless to them. Or get locking cables and bear proof case for each. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

Social embarrassment may be the only punishment they get. But most probably won't even care of that. These guys get caught all the time and they just don't care. Look at the statistics for repeat DUI offender, petty theft, assault and battery, etc, etc, etc, ...... thugs / bums don't care about getting caught. On the rare case you catch a good person making a bad decision....you may make a change, most likely not the case though. Move on and know your cameras are in a place that thugs are. I personally wouldn't want to hunt that area knowing those people frequent it. Again...private property changes certain aspects of what we are talking about.
Speaking from experience unless you have pictures of the thief actually taking the camera it could be said all your evidence, even if you can identify that the "suspected" thief was the only person in the area from the time you put the camera up until you found it missing, is circumstantial.Still believe a good thing would be exploding dye packs,fluorescent green or purple would be my preference. Then let the thief have to admit how he got covered with permanent dye in court when he filed injury charges against you. ""I was attempting to steal a trail camera when I opened it and the dye pack exploded""
Exactly what is wrong in todays society! A good arse whuppin is so frowned upon in todays times, that no one is afraid anymore! The victim has more to be scared of than the damn criminals!!!

Alternate is to let the carrion eaters have a good meal.

But ya, I do wish we lived in different times...I guess if someone falls in the woods and there is no one to see it, did they really fall.
