Another piece of gear stolen from me

I think it is spypoint that makes a camera, that the photos are stored on a little remote box, hidden up to 150 ft from the camera (maybe 150 yards, can't remember)
One of these would be handy for these situations.

On public land, stolen cameras suck. Private land, makes my blood boil. People have no respect of others property anymore.
I see even here on this forum, by some of the responses, that people have been brainwashed to blame victims of crime for the crime. Mind boggling. I don't care if his camera was on the side of a public roadway, it belongs to someone, not you, so leave it alone.
House broke into, firearms stolen, blame firearms owner for improper storage. WTF, they are in his/her private home. Same mentality
Rant over
 
I don't think theft is only a modern day problem. I remember my grandfather saying to me back in the 70's..."if you leave it there overnight, don't be surprised and act all pissed if it gone in the morning".

Those words most likely came from experience!

That's so low!! wow! I actually had a salt block stolen last year. Ok not as expensive as a camera, but was still frustrating, and why someone would steal that! at the end of the day after being mad, I said I guess they needed it more than me if they had to steal a $20 item!

WTF!?! Someone stole your salt lick? There must be some desperate people out there....

that's a double arse raping, after getting bent over for $20 for a block of salt...unless it was 3 times the size of a regular block...




that actually reminds me of an old neighbor of mine who figured someone stole his salt lick. He'd put out one of those mini blocks thats supposed to go in a holder and cried theft when it was gone the next day... among 60+ head that hadn't had salt in quite a while lol
 
I hate how so few people have respect for anyone or their belongings anymore. I've lived in Japan for a few years and it's a night and day difference. It's extremely rare for things to get stolen or vandalized here. Even the gangsters here are respectful, care about their community and don't participate in petty crime. I'm still amazed what gets left out and doesn't go missing.

The other day I was running at the park and noticed quite a few people who had left there cell phones, wallets and jackets in their bike basket to go run on the track. You can drop your wallet or phone in a train station, someone will turn it in and you'll get it back intact. People leave there bikes at the train stations with dinky little locks through the spokes or no lock at all. Theft insurance for our apartment was around $50 for two years because there's so few claims. Even car insurance is dirt cheap because there are no scams and people driving carefully and respectfully results in fewer crashes. $500 for the year for me and I'm a new driver, if you have a clean 5 year driving record full coverage is $200-300.

I love Canada and I'm coming back shortly but it's sure going to be an adjustment having to worry about my stuff all the time again. It's my number one reason for not wanting to come back. Ignorance is bliss in this area. Before I moved here I just accepted that people vandalizing, steeling and being disrespectful dickheads in general was just the way it was. Petty theft and vandalism is even more irritating to me now that I've known a culture without it.
 
Just a warning to the trap setters, man traps are illegal and will land you time in jail. Just make sure you are setting up animal traps and not man traps.

My father has a couple cameras set up on crown land. Someone came along to steal it, but must have realized it would be useless without the digital passcode to unlock the camera. Instead they decided to steal the 8 AA batteries and the SD card. Apparently they were desperate just to steal anything at all.

how did they know that your camera had a digital pass-code? I want to install a camera soon and don't want to loose it. I live in SK and that says it all.

I live in Ishioka, Ibaraki. It's about a 1.5hr drive north of Tokyo. I've been to Nara, it's a nice area. I wish we could learn some things but it's not really possible, it's almost in their blood, part of who they are. Most other cultures I've encountered, including North America are individualistic where you come before anyone else. Japanese often put others first and feel responsible for the actions of others.
 
if any comfort...True Story!
A Police friend of mine had his "special needs" daughter's brand new Birthday bike stolen, on her Birthday, from their Gararge.
My Police friend kept watching the Kijiji ads. Saw it for sale, and drove to the guy's house. Asked him a few detailed questions.
The guy lied his face off. My friend (Cop), told him to turn around and put his hands behind his back.
My friend Cuffed Him quickly, and took him to the Police Station for theft.
Greates thing was his Daughter got the birthday bike back, AND the guy was snagged!
Hehehe!

Why??? Because its a fact of life....leave your shyt in the bush, it may go missing! :(

To think its totally safe and secure is only being naive.

It is not a hard concept, if it is not yours don't touch it. It really shouldn't matter if it was in the bush for an hour or a year, if people weren't [insert expletive here] it would still be there when you returned for it.

There is a dude in our hunt group that can spot cameras like crazy . He says its just like a shape that looks out of place , that he notices against the back drop .
We number our cameras like say 3 of 5 , 4 of 5 but actually only use 3 at one spot . With one camera well hidden . People caught on camera searching their azzes off trying to find the other nonexistant one and two .
An old old trick , set up a well hidden camera where they enter the woods or park . Or find a rotted out but still standing tree trunk and set up camera inside that
A friend set up a decoy camera hooked to a speaker , when the unit was pulled away from tree . it played a recording of growling that sounded like sa tans dog was having a bad day . The first time he played it for me in his garage I looked over my shoulder it was freaky . His camera footage of the decoy getting stolen was classic , the guy took off and ran and tripped fell and twisted his ankle

Yep, but thats not how life works no matter how many times you say it or write it...do you leave money on the dash of your vehicle and the doors unlocked? Do you lock your home when leaving? Is the Bank left open unattended for days at a time? Hmmmm, I wonder why? Reality is not a hard concept to accept either...:(
 
These threads are hilarious

Hunters = dont touch the things I leave unattended in the bush its not yours and you should not touch/use it

Also Hunters = this land is not mine but I want to be bale to use it without permission. Its not mine and I should be able to touch/use it

LOL

We put a game game cameras not far from my place. We had 6 out of 7 stolen. The 7th had the person on it. Turned out to be my neibour. Got a bunch of bull #### from his daughter. Don’t know why he did it. The cameras had all the pics on them. Showed him and his daughter taking them. The daughter trying to remove some of the battery’s. If your going to steel cameras make sure you take them all. I always put 2 cameras out. Covering each other or one on the trial in and out. No respect for the thieves! The neibour got off easy. Didn’t want to make a big deal with someone so close to my home. But I will not forget. One day.
