so you guys may remember a while back i had made a post about a guy i had got on camera that was on horesback checking out my feeder.... well i had spoke to the police and they told me i could press charges if we found him. well i did find him earlier in the season and called them and the other cop that came out wouldnt do anything but give him a warning... well i go get in my stand today to take my nephew hunting for christmas and my lil buddy heater was gone and my game camera that was set on my stand was missing.... this is so dang irritating... what would you do

Hi sunsetroosters,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I would hide a new "No Glo" game camera (such as the Stealth Cam Super Sniper) to provide coverage over your hunting stand in your absence. Maybe you can get pictures of your crooks at some point.
I think you should also file a police report on this stolen property now, in case it get recovered.
Good Luck,
|

I would start by locking my stand and everything around it.
Camera's might work if you can hide them well enough, but you might try catching him in the act. Find the likely access point that he enters you're property and put the cameras there instead of at the stand where he will be looking for them.
Sounds like it's a neighbor and you know who it is, so I would warn others that live around you, and tell them that you are filing reports, and that your property is being watched. Maybe word will get back to him that the heat is on.

My brother had his phone and wallet stolen from the gym 6-7 months ago. The kid who stole them was caught on camera stealing them, and using the debit card both on camera. I knew the kid and fully identified him first, middle and last name and the address of both his house and his parents house. The cops said they would call us ASAP and we have not heard from the cops yet, 6 months later. Hard to abide by the law when they will not help out citizens, needless to say my brother has his phone, wallet and punitive damages back

Sorry to hear that Sunsetroosters! We have been having problems too. Here is advice we have been given: file another report, contact Game Warden, post signs all over your property, hide game cameras to view your other cameras or feeder or blind. I know this is so irritating! Good luck! I hope the bad guy gets caught and pays his dues!

i have had a lot of hay stolen out of my barn. I did the detective works and have quite a few pictures and videos of the theft in the act. the law did nothing and i was advised by the law to put trail cameras to try and catch him. I can tell you that he was driving around less than 2 days later. I have kinda lost my respect for the law.

I would have /would call the GW, he would probably be more helpful.
I probably shouldn't say what I would do if I knew where he lived or what he drives, but property wise, he'd pay 10 to 1.

Get all camo'd out and tuck yourself into a bush. When he comes up to your stand, shoot him. Tell the cops you thought it was a deer??

File another police report, but a Game Warden can be a good friend when your not there. Some of them, will keep a closer eye out if they know there is a problem. Had this problem a few years back in west texas and the GM is who caught the guy. All of our missing equipment was at the guys house too!

Don't expect too much help from Law Enforcement. They have a lot on their plate (in addition to donuts) and aren't going to worry much about your small loss. It's not an income generator for them, and they'd much rather write speeding tickets - which is an income generator.
I worked with a young woman some years back and she had her new truck stolen. The cop took a report and didn't call back. After a week or two she called them and was told that her truck was probably in Mexico now, so use the insurance money to get a new truck. That was the end of that law enforcement effort. She went and got a new truck.
