Most expensive camera you’ve had stolen

This has become common for many members on here, i myself have been lucky so far but i think it’ll happen sooner or later What type of camera have you had stolen?

Cuddeback, Thats why I use a scout guard or bushnell. they are great cameras and so small that i have trouble finding them myself when going out to change sd cards. I keep my cuddeback and moultrie cameras close to home

I haven’t had any of my cameras stolen! But I am nervous because I set them out for turkey scouting and this guy lets everyone and anyone walk his property. I’m hoping they are still there when I go back on Friday or Saturday!

I think about my cameras every week they are in the woods and worry about someone robbing me blind. Does anyone have any ideas on locking them to a tree. I have seen some of the lock boxes but think they were specific to cameras I don’t own. We have to leave them out there but it’s like thumbtacking $200 or more to a tree and hoping they don’t grow legs. My condolences to anyone that has been robbed, not to mention the lost pics from the previous set the camera had.

Great question…I did some quick checking for bear boxes but found just what you’re saying…they are specific to some cameras but not all. I didn’t check very long but there has to be something out there!

I’ve had one camera and a few stands ripped off. Now all my cuddes get bear safeboxes and every stand gets log chained and padlocked….never used to be this way
Lock everything because someone will come by sooner or later.

I haven’t lost a camera yet…(knocking on wood) but at our new land, we had about 5 loads of oak cut up, that they took out to widen the road….somebody evidently thought we cut it up for them..as it was all pinched in february !!! How someone could have hauled all that wood off, without somebody seeing something is beyond me… it is on a fairly well traveled county road. Now I worry about putting my cameras there, or leaving a stand in People that steal, should have their fingers cut off…sounds harsh, but I have NO TIME for a lowlife that thinks stuff is his for the taking Let me catch one of them….

I sure hope I’m not jynxing myself but I’ve never had anything of value taken YET. Back in the day of 35mm I had a particular friend of a friend of a neighbor remove my film out of my camera. I’m thinking he had walked by and triggered the cam and didn’t want to be caught. I hunt strictly private land but one just never knows.

Last fall I had a camera stolen. It was Moultrie D40 one
of there cheap ones. I only had it for like 2 weeks and It
got stolen. So now I’m going too watch whare I put my cameras from now on.

A few years ago I had a Deer Cam stolen on private land and I paid about $300. It was on a logging trail and obviously the tresspasser didn’t want to get caught so they decided to become a thief as well.

About 10 years ago when I was living by Walker. It cost me a restraining order and the cost of replacing a tooth…not in my mouth. Fine citizen stole one camera on my property after he had already been warned to stay of my land then walked out past another carring the goods with him. I retrieved the camera from him personaly.

Well I have had 2 cameras destroyed. Moultries I40 and I50’s. Around $200 each and I have had a I60 stolen ($299) and a I40 stolen that I got back last Fall.

I’m sure it was money well spent though!

I never had another problem the entire time I lived there, ATVs even stopped going by.
