Well the cuddeback has a cable that is supposedly "cut proof." It also has a padlock and a screw that goes through the camera in to the tree about 4 inches. But if someone cant get it off of the tree they are just going to break it by kicking it or something. I dont know i am to the point where the camera has definatly paid for itself so if some low life wants to come by and take it so be it[:@]. I ll just have to get a new one.[:@]
