Stolen.. need a broken cam

[Craig]

Well one of my cameras got stolen ( at least it was a cheep one ). I put it out four days ago and it's gone. I found one of my bungee cords cut and on the ground. I am pretty sure i know who took it. She has left a note on it before saying she does not like other people back there and thinks that hunting should not be aloud on state land. I know I should have moved the camera but I thought it was safe. This is on public land but the only way to get there is though private property unless you go cross country about a mile and a half through some real nasty stuff. she is the only person I have seen back there in two years. I have about ten pictures of her messing with my cameras.

I need a broken cam i can set up as a decoy and try and bust her ass. Anyone have on I can have or buy for real cheap?

I have better ones with her face on it.

People like that really piss me off.

I wish you luck in catching her.  I wish I had a camera that you could use.

I know there is build thread on trail cams. Maybe you can get an empty case to set up as a decoy.

[wabow]

Old or new telephone junction box , spray paint, old sunglass lenses glued inside the holes and you have a dummy cam.

Try ebay. Lots of non-working trail cameras sold on there. Look especially for Moultrie.

Or just build a small box, put a fake lense on it...see if she takes the bait...more than likely she isnt checkin to see if the camera is legit..only that it is there.

My wife gave me a used trail cam for my birthday. Funny she was wearing this exact blue t-shirt

I would notify the police.  Your camera may not be the only one she has tampered with. 

How often does she come around your cameras?  After you put out the first and second one did they come up missing?

That *censored* just pisses me off.

[Craig]

I just got a small used case for $12. I will cut two holes in it and glue a sunglass lens inside with a little weight and lock it shut. and hope it gets stolen.

[Michelle_Nelson]

Craig how are you going to catch her?  Are you going to put a second cam up in a tree pointed at the dummy?

[Woodchuck]

I would wait in a tree stand, doubt she is smart enough to look up

sounds like i'm too late but i've got a broken cam you could have. pm sent.

[carpsniperg2]

sounds like you need to set a bear trap at the base of it and see if you can catch a realy big rat that makes me so mad

[Houndhunter]

what a bitch

I'd call the cops, especially with the note and all the trail camera pictures you have of her.  She's probably the owner of that private piece you mentioned and she thinks because her property butts up against it she can set the rules for the state land.  Wouldn't be hard to track her down and I'm sure with a little pressing from authorities she'd fess up.
