Default Cameras were stolen(Bushnell recovered)

The nerve of some people.
The Bushnell was in a lock box, all that's left are the lag screws, tree is all scarred to hell from whatever they used to pry it off.
The stealth was cable locked, so they either broke the case or brought in cable cutters.
I posted to Craigslist, going down to the local papers today to place an add.
This makes 5 cameras in 3 years at this property.

I just don't know what to do, I'd like to bait them with another camera and sit out and watch it everyday until they show up, but it could turn ugly, cause I'm sure they'd be armed as well.

Default Now don't tell me. . .

they stole your corn feeder too.......

Your account tells me someone knows your land as well as you do. And they seem to know exactly where to find those trail cams, and where you hide them.

maybe you will have to take a 15ft ladder out and put a camera WAYYYYY up the tree and try to catch them that way?

Little update

My CL ad turned up a good lead, this person has been in contact with an individual trying to sell a Trophy cam.
I went to the ISP and filed a report, the person that gave me the tip is cooperating with the ISP.
If all goes well I should have the Bushnell back within 72hrs.
