Stolen IR Homebrew - REWARD!

[bow4elk]

Never thought it'd be me, but I was ripped off during early bow season.  Somebody found my homebrew IR cam, then came back with a hacksaw and cut my Master Python cable lock.  I go to great lengths to hide my cams.  This tough guy had the balls to come back.  I have less sympathy for calculated criminals.

I'm offering a $100 cash reward for information leading to the return of my camera in good working order.  Below are the photos of the camera.  It is easy to identify as it is one of a kind.  It was stolen near Capitol Forest, but not in Capitol Forest.  It's actually private land, and I have permission.  The jerk rode a quad in there and it was clear they searched for other cams after I followed the trails they made through the high grass.  I knew long before I ever got to the tree that it would be gone.

I'd like to think it was NOT someone who is a member here or frequents this site.  However, I do have a special comment for the thief should they read this post:

I'm watching you and I know more than you know.  You may have stolen my IR camera but I'm watching you from afar.  I have photos of you from another cam you missed.  Darn.  I've informed the adjacent landowners in the area about you.  They will call the sheriff if they see you.  You must think you get to live by your own rules.  Your only way out of this mess is simple - return the camera and memory to the exact location by Monday morning, 9/28.  Leave it near the base of the alder tree.  If it's not there by Monday morning, I will begin making your life miserable!!  Again, I know what you look like!!   I'm giving you the opportunity to do the right thing - make a good choice.

I would go straight to law enforcement with the pics you have of the azzwipe.

Good gawd...some people I swear!! 
I hope the moron decides to do the right thing & return the camera...otherwise they'd better pray they do not run into ANY OF US from the board!

Dude that really sucks. I have never had a trail cam but often thought about buying one. I FRIKIN HATE THIEVES.

You are doing the right thing.  I hope it works out for you.  All these stolen camera posts are ridiculous!

Man that sucks.  I just bought 2 Bushnell Trophy cams and 1 Reconyx RC60HO and am now afraid to put them out in the woods.  I've been working on putting real bark camo on the bear boxes for the Bushnell's and thought they looked pretty good but after seeing your camo job I guess it does not matter how well you try to hide them, the scum still find em. 

Hope it works out for you.

That sucks! All of my cams are pretty deep and none have ever been touched (no one has even walked by any of them), but on public land you never know. It is kind of amazing how many get stolen.

Hope you get it back or catch the scum.

On a side note about weirdos and such. With the world the way it is today. Please refrain from posting information about where your home is or where you hide extra keys when out fishing or hunting. All a thief has to do is read these site and gather information. I don't know if any are that ambitious but it would behove us to be vigilant about our posts, pictures of "toys" in storage area, etc. Lots of low life scum bags out there that don't do enough time in the clink!

That's why I didn't participate in the thread where all the guys who have wildlife plates were giving out their license plate number. Too easy to look up an address....

[Track-er]

That thread about the plate numbers was about my camera being taken and a friend getting a wildlife plate as someone who was in that area at the time.it was during the late permit hunt last year in the 448 unit near Skykomish.

That sucks about your cam bow4elk...I know how you feel. I say post up the person's pic regardless. Hopefully you get it back.

That sucks   

I got my first cuddeback, it was out not three weeks and someone ripped it off  -  not deep enough, not camoed  and not secured like yours. 

i will build a bear box w/ lag scrwes only accessible from the inside and a paddle lock on the outside....  maybe that will work???
