Doc Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Just found out that my $200 Cuddeback has been stolen. I suppose it was my own fault. It was a few yards over onto state land, but within sight of my driveway. I didn't think anyone would find it since it was buried back in a huge area of man-killer wild rose. The only way I think they could have seen or even gotten to it was if they came up my driveway and looked off to the side. Well anyway, I guess I learned my expensive lesson. I hate thieves.

Whelen Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Nothing worse than a thief! Once thought a vandal destroyed my trail cam as all the glass in the front was shatterred and the camera was spun around to the other side of the tree. Turns out a curious black bear was the culprit, moved the camera a couple hundred yards and he hit it again that afternoon! The "attacks" were 6 months appart...crazy bear didn't want his picture taken! Take a good look around the area maybe you"ll find it.

Doc Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 The strap was still there. It had been cut with a knife. Probably in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave6x6 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Sorry to hear about the camera Doc.. Hope he falls from his tree stand but is saved from hitting the ground when his ball sack gets caught on a tree step.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyantler Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If you catch the thieves you shoud be able to go to their house and take something they really love.. and see how they like it... well anything but their wife.. that might not be a punishment for the guy but a blessing instead..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Sorry. It is amazing though, how some dirt bags think. "it's not mine, but it's there so take it??" Over the years I have come across all kinds of stuff. Stands, blinds, decoys.... Never considered stealing them. The closest I came was when I found a guys lock on stand on our property, after he had been told time after time to stay out. Each time, he gave me attitude. I left his stand and steps at the bottom of the tree, after I used bolt cutters to snap off the whole chain. Sorry again. People will be low life's. I like dave6x6's thought. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ants Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 todays sense of entitlement> I want it ill take it. "and even if I get caught , whats the worst that can happen?" Slap on the wrist with a wet noodle? Sad state. When I was around 10, I got caught trying to steal a $2.00 fishing lure. My father smacked the hell out of me, my mother took my bike away and my grandmother gave me crap about it right up until she passed away, which was about a year and a half ago!!

Now a kid gets caughting doing something wrong and the parents stick up for the kid asking why are you wasting their time over a $2.00 lure and whats wrong with you? Parents rather argue with cops then smack the heck out of their kid for doing wrong!! Save the rod, spoil the child! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhite Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sorry Doc, I can't stand a thief, but with all the experience I've had with Cuddeback cameras and their customer support, they probably saved you years of frustration. May want to staple a thank you note to the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
