Finally Happened to Me

[J.M.A.N.]

Got my first camera stolen! It was one of my very reliable 09 BTCs. It was pulling security duty at my farm which is two hours from my home. It was in a CamLockBox lagged to the tree with a python cable through it at the top and key lock in the bottom hole. Found the python cable where they had snipped it through cleanly tossed at the edge of the field behind the house in the high grass (about 60 ft from the circle driveway). CamLockBox had been ripped from the tree it had been lagged to with two bolts. They wanted it bad or even worse didn't want me to have what was on it. Went up to the farm Friday night to do some yote hunting on Saturday & Sunday (unsuccessful). It has happened within the last two weeks as that was the last time I was up there. Nothing else was taken and the house showed no signs of forced entry. I didn't file a police report although I guess I should have.

Now I have to ask myself, is is worth it to try a Ltl Acorn MMS Low Glow located in a different place and take an old WGI and lag it and lock it where the other one stolen camera and hope they don't see the Ltl Acorn. ATT is not the strongest carrier in those parts to begin with.

I think I would.

Probably some locals. You could use a camera as a decoy on the same tree, and have the other hidden very well, maybe up in a tree. I seen on Archery Talk where a guy caught a thief like that. He wasnt able to prosecute him for the first stolen camera naturally, but the second stolen camera he was. He took the pics from the hidden camera to the sheriffs dept and the police recognized the thief!

Good Luck. Hate to hear about your loss. I think it lays on all ours minds when we have cameras attached to trees!
