Spoiler, I'm sorry to hear that and it definitely gives you that sick feeling in your stomach which turns quickly to anger. I'm not an expert, but I've read two articles lately that talk about puting them up higher in a tree (higher than eye level) and pointing them down to help prevent that. They also said to put out a decoy camera box, then put a no-flash camera much higher and have it point down to the fake camera to catch the thieves. It's just a thought and I'm puting mine higher this year.
