SteveNY Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Last time I checked the cams was on Thursday because I knew I wouldn't be around the entire weekend. I was itching to see what I had on the cams! I went out this afternoon to check them and my newest cam (the M-990i) was gone. I didn't even have it for a whole month. Cost me about $160. This camera was less than 200 yards from my house, you can even see the house from where it was, and yes it's private property. I kind of stood there and stared at the tree for a few moments... Then I looked around the tree, and just couldn't believe it wasn't there. EMPTY feeling. That empty feeling turned to rage quickly, and I took off through the woods for my other cams that were further away, thankfully they were both there. I took them home with me. I am so pissed. I see the threads all the time and didn't think it could happen to me around here. I don't even want to put the other cameras back out, but them what the hell is the point in having them??!!? Take precautions people. UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I guess paying more for one that emails pics might be worth it, especially if u get a pic of the thief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 X3 on locking them up. Locks arent going to prevent all theft, but they do prevent most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 All but one of the stands and cams I have had stolen were locked. I'm not bothering with losing more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Sorry for your bad luck. Even though I dislike the use of trail cams, I would never think of destroying or stealing those I encounter in the field. Private property is private property...plain and simple. Suggestion: Check your homeowner's insurance policy....It is surprising what personal possessions are covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
