Have you had a Game Camera Stolen?
Was wondering how many of you out there that have or had game cameras, ever get one stolen? Are they fairly theft safe? I am really close to getting one, would just hate to get it stolen. I would put it on private property, which does not get much pressure, but you never know. I guess I'll just take a 100 dollar risk.

RE: Have you had a Game Camera Stolen?
A while back, someone posted how they got their game cam back after getting stolen.
The first picture that would be taken was the guy holding a sign saying" this camera belongs to (your name here). If anyone develops these pics besides me...this camera has been stolen. Call (your number). I beleive he had one camera stolen three times and got it back everytime. I've never had a cam stolen. I've only put mine out on private land where in the off season, is rarely touched. Thsi year, I moved to dallas. Thinking about putting it out on public land this weekend. little nervous, but I may give this a try.

RE: Have you had a Game Camera Stolen?
I had one stolen this past February. I had thought that since the season was over for more than a month and since it was a fairly secluded location that the chances of getting it stolen were slim so I left it out for about five days. It was there when I checked it on the 4th...but not the 5th. 
Luckily, it was only a $70 cam and not a $300 one.
