I voted "other". It's because there are dishonest people in this world. If it's not yours, don't take it! Having said that, I've got six cameras out and most of them have been out for the last six months straight. None of them are locked, none are camouflaged. But I do have them in an area that doesn't get a lot of human activity. My main concern is here in a week when archery deer season opens. I'm thinking of pulling a couple of them, or at least moving them to less obvious trails.

I have had two cameras stolen (one locked up and another not locked up) and another that was locked up good so they just smashed the chit out of it. I now take tree stand spikes with me and put my cameras at least 15' up a tree. Doesn't make them impossible to steal, but it deters the quick grab n go *censored*bags.

Cameras get stolen because, to my dismay, there are creeps in the woods that think it is their God given right to steal other peoples property

[MikeWalking]

I picked Other.  The rest seem to blame the camera owner.   Fact is scum travels the woods too.   What do thieving Aholes do with stolen cameras?   

[firefighter4607]

Voted Other!! As stated many times already it because of a-holes who take them just for fun or people who don't want to get caught on camera doing stuff they shouldn't

[The100Road]

Voted other, Because people don't learn that you cant trust anyone and keep putting their cameras on public land.

 "Other" also. Has anyone else noticed the increased amount of rude dirtbags roaming around since the old schoolyard fistfight has been all but removed? Many a good lesson can be learned in childhood through a good ole fashioned bloody nose. Nobody dies, pride gets hurt most. Good lessons learned and taught! Some of these thieves could use a good education.

I voted other because it shouldn't be a problem. Hunters should respect each others gear. When you go to a parking lot you don't steal a truck just because it's there and nobody is looking. 

FRICKEN THIEVES

I have mine in a locked box, in a place others probably never will go.  If some lowlife wants my camera, it will take effort to get it, so chances are, if it's not an easy grab they'll pass it up.  Still, it wouldn't surprise me to see a bullet hole through it someday.

[Bean Counter]

Wow, surprised by the responses thus far. I see life as living in a fallen world where sin penetrates the hearts of all humans--some more than others. In wording the poll it went without saying (in my mind) that there are POS's in the world 

i told a buddy about camera/self climber i came across in a local spot.. the first words out of his mouth was "why didn't you take it"!! i said are you kidding me... how do you like it when you have had your stands stolen? he understood at that point.

I think if I knew someone like that, whatever relationship we had would go downhill very fast. Too often we shrug off sin for friends and family, thus becoming an 'enabler.' I think would have called him a thief and told him where he could go.

[Nilehunter]

I have been using one for two years now, and no probs.  I dont place near roads, or trails used by humans
