One was my W80 homebrew cam, the other a Moultrie D55. Same area, same day. I hate to think somebody here could have done it but wanted to spread the word. These two cameara are unique in that the Sony W80 is a one of a kind, completely custom job. The Moultrie was painted and distinct. If you have any information about these cameras and/or their return, I'll make it worth your while. Otherwise, I'm just venting and am really pissed off. I've had three cameras stolen in the past 14 months totaling about $500. >:( >:( >:(
PM me if you know anything. Both stolen in west Olympia area between 10AM on 10/31 and 11/2.

I'd put a dummy camera. One that is broken and doesn't work out. Than put an infered one up in a tree pointed down. That way they can't see a flash.
-
:yeah:
-
would be nice to catch the *censored*s in the act :violent1:
-
That sucks, hopefully you can find them.
-
The second camera idea sounds good.
There are also GPS tracking devices available. There was a thread on here not too long ago about them.
Personally, I think it would be cool to strap a claymore to the tree.....that would end their days of thieving. 8)

Sorry to hear it.
Had my first and only trail cam stolen several months ago.... off private property.
Pissed me off to no end. I actually kept going back to see if it somehow reappeared.....
I hope you catch them.
-
Sorry to hear that. Will keep an eye out in my area. :bash: >:( :bash: >:( >:( :bash: Where there is a thief there is a liar...

I hate thieves, but sounds like you'd better start bolting/chaining/locking/cementing your cams to your tree. Hope you find those *censored*s and give them a boot in the ass.
-
Man, that sucks Tom.
Where they strapped/bugeed to the trees or where they cabled and locke?
I have a couple of the cheaper Wildviews that you can use until your seasons.

Doesn't that just chap your a$$!
1) Because some thief took something of yours
2) Because it was most likely a hunter that found it and took it
-
Did you set it up near a popular area for hikers, hippies, and brush pickers?
-
Tom - I am really sorry to hear about your cameras!
I hate theives!!!!! >:( >:(
It's crap like this that makes me nervous to even put my cameras out and they are well off the beaten path....
-
Sorry to hear about your luck. Happened to me earlier this fall. Pretty sad when you can't trust anyone, especially hunters.
-
that sucks sorry to hear it. i hate theives as well >:( hope you get them back.

I caught a guy that had stolen 3 of ours off our farm trying to sell them in a pawn shop down the road from our house. I was looking at the chainsaws and overheard him say "some dumb a$$ left these out in the woods do you buy stuff like this" We'll my ears perked up and I slowly went around to take a peek. The idiot had'nt even tried to get my name off them. I told him they we're mine and he said "oh sorry I did'nt know" I called the cops and had him arrested for trespassing and theft. Boy did his tune change when we went to court I went from some dumda$$ to can we just be friends and forget about this ??
I laughed at him, he got 150 hours community service. I lucked out, hope you do also.
That homemade deal looks nice.

Sorry about your cameras. >:( Would piss me off to no end too. Am new to using trail cams and only have one cheap version I recently put in a questionable place. :bdid: All these cameras being ripped off makes me wonder what a person can do to prevent it. Lousy design for sure. Shouldn't be able to open the housing and get to the 'guts'. Has anyone come up with a better burglar proof set up? Sucks having to do it but.. Market is there for crafty folks to come up with something. Metal housing and choker cable with a shocker attached may slow em down. Hate thieves, would make for good video seeing the crap zapped out of them trying to steal it though.

put out another two cameras one looking at the other put one up higher in a tree looking down. May be you can catch that dirty SOB
