I will probably not get my cameras back. I will lock all them up next time. To avoid this kind of frustration I hope my HuntWA forum trail camera addicts will do the same :twocents:

So he has gone from a trail walker, to thief, to drug grower??? Come on guys, you all sound like a bunch of women! Dont want stuff stolen, lock them up, or dont use them on public land.
Sorry to hear SOMEONE stole your s#@%, but i dont see any cameras in his hand.....

I know that I should have locked it, but bolt cutters would be used to cut the lock. If someone wants a camera or anything else they will find a way to get it.
I am sure I will cross paths with this guy. I know my cameras had good deer pictures. Last year at this same time I had some huge deer on them. Check my previous posts.
If you have any ideas on who this could be based on his clothes, boots, then please PM or tell him to put the cameras back. The general area is Thurston County.

I don't get the logic in the "guy does not have a gun so why would he be there in the first place" part...
I go in the woods all the time without a gun.

Always carry a gun. You may need one to protect yourself from those that accuse you of stealing their camera.

He probably should have locked them up but he admitted that. I have no problem about him asking if anyone knew this guy...Although I don't think he's going to get his cameras back and hopefully no one resorts to violence. If you don't know who it is then you don't know. No reason to give this guy a bunch of sh*t about it.
Anyway, good luck with the cameras. I don't hang out in Thurston County so can't help.

LOOKS LIKE A TRAIL CAM IN THE BACK POCKET OF THE BACKPACK :yike:
Yep! BTW...I will not resort to violence. Unlike a lot of people I will not stoop to the level of the culprit that stole my camera. Even though I would like to. Just because I have a picture of someone in the area does not mean he is the thief. However, he is only 40 yards from the where to the stolen camera was and it was not on a heavily traveled trail.

You can make sure thats your cam??You can prove he dosent have a gun, so he's growing pot? Now i bet im the culprit because im bringing up facts.....
Like i said, sorry you got robbed, but you cant prove he did anything.

Thief!! but apparently to some on this sight if you cannot prove it it is o.k. Love the entertainment sometimes other times it is just downright pitiful some of the posts.
I'd like to see some places where folks have said it is okay to steal cameras? I certainly can't think of one.....I agree that it is sad that we can't leave a cam out without it having a good chance it will get stolen by another hunter or a bunny hugger. Yep, it looks like he/she could be your thief, I agree. However, without proof of some kind it is hopeless.

Thought the same thing. If it is, might be a little easier to track down. Any footprints in the area...smaller than normal with a shorter stride?
Post by: phishisgroovin on May 26, 2011, 06:31:15 AM
god knows if i had money to waste on a cam, i would never leave it in any public forest land where anyone can go in and swipe it.

Post by: lilswab on May 26, 2011, 11:03:43 AM
its a damn shame that we have reached a time that a fella cant even go out in the damn woods and put up a trailcam and have it stolen, this is completly fricken sad, people like that make me sick and i would love to be the one who gets to cut a thiefs hands off, which is the best thing for them, and its also pretty fricken sad when a guy asks us if we happen to recognize him and he gets attacked, lilswab, soory your cameras got RIPPED THE HELL OFF, BY SOME ASS, and guess what i would bet that the guy in the pic is the damn thief, hope you find out who he is and break his hands for him, piece of crap thieves, dude i had my northwood stolen from my house, drove right through my steel gate cut the lock off my boat and took the whole damn thing all i got back was the hull and trailor they even took the boat plug, but i guess its my fault it got stolen because i didnt have it parked inside my living room
Jackmaster! Did we just become best friends? Good post and point. Even though I do enjoy all the other forum banter.

I am mad as hell! >:( I just got back from checking my 4 trail cameras and 2 of the 4 were stolen. Luckily, my cheap wildview got a picture of the guy. I hope some of my forum friends can help ID this jerk. I used to lock up all my cameras but figured this spot was pretty covert and didn't need to worry. I was wrong. :'( From now on all my cameras will be locked.
I will probably not get my cameras back. I will lock all them up next time. To avoid this kind of frustration I hope my HuntWA forum trail camera addicts will do the same :twocents:

everyone thinks they have a secret place,well there isn't any,I find these secret places,and I'm sure my pic has been taken.But that don't make me the thief if it was taken...If I were a thief the camera that took his pic would have been taken also,they don't hide that well...I find a lot of them....If your going back and forth to check a camera,or to bait you are leaving a trail,no matter how crafty one thinks they are...any critters coming to a bait also leave a trail,sometimes many trails leading there....all that being said,if I found a pic of me on the net and someone said I was the thief because I walked by your camera,I would be inclined to treat the accuser as I would a thief..hope you figure it out,I been ripped off many times nobody hates a thief more than I.

I have two tree stands in the woods,I expect them to get ripped off,so I bought cheap ones...that way I'm not to pissed when they do...That doesn't mean I think its OK for a thief to take them...Sadly that is where the world has come to.

It is sad that you expect to get ripped off. I don't expect to get ripped off. I expect to see pictures of deer. I expect my property to be left alone. I don't own extremely expensive cameras, but they are pretty nice for what I can afford. The camera that took the picture of the "Thief" and yes I will call him that because I see my camera in his pack, is the cheapest camera I own and as you can see he is walking away from it and that is why it wasn't stolen. It is a coincidence that one the my cameras was stolen and I also got a picture of someone with my camera in his pack! :yike: this is too much of a coincidence to ignore.
:dunno: I would be inclined to treat the accuser as I would a thief :dunno:
What does this mean?
I did not steal anything. I am a sportsman and I am fair minded. There is a possiblity that this guy could not be the thief. But the fact that he his less than 40yards from the stolen camera and has the camera is his pack is too much to ignore. Thanks for adding your :twocents: It its said that this is what our world has come to.
How would you deal with this situation?
