hoosierhunter Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 GRRRRRRRR......Went to pull for the season today and it was gone. Unreal because obviously however stole it doesn't know anything about them, because if they did they would realize that it's passcode protected and they can't use it. Maybe they will be dumb enough to call reconyx to try to activate it and then I can find out who it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 That really stinks. Hope you can recover it. Would guess you had it locked? Have 5 or 6 python cable locks for the cameras I had running. Most tresspassers probably don't carry a pair of bolt cutters or hacksaw with them, means in most cases they would likely have to find the camera and come back to steal it. Have lost a few cameras here, but to mother nature rather than thieves. Only camera I have left running right now is kind of in eyeshot of the house with the leaves off the trees. Have had loads of problems with tresspassers/poachers in the woods here next to us, fortunately have not had a camera stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Too bad. They likely think they can get pass the code lock system somehow. Too bad it was not sending you wireless photos, those systems could cut down on thieves or at least be good evidence against them. Sorry for the theft of your gear.

BearClaw Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Sorry to hear about the theft. That really stinks! Hope you can find out who did it and get it back. It wasn't another hunter that took it, it was just a thug and petty thief possibly dressed in camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Sorry to hear that kind of news Pat. I sure know how you feel. Chances are someone probably was trespassing and the cam caught them so they took the evidence. I've gotten real picky where I'll put my Reconyx cams now. The new Reconyx Hyperfire hides a whole lot better than the old RC models since it's camo blends in and it's 1/3 the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.....A few years back we had a cudde stolen. As you said password prevented them from using the camera. But like Alan said I am sure they were caught and knew it so they wanted to destroy the evidence. SUCKS for sure.....Sorry man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSeb53 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 sorry to hear about the theft... my guess was that either you are right and they don't know they need a passcode.. or they were obviously tresspassing and didnt want to me caught on camera and took it... I hope you get it back soon... i know how pricey those particular cameras are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yeah I'll be getting the enclosure and python cable for the new one. Where they stole it from is just unreal that a person was even there. We are putting a cudde no flash about 20 feet up to see if anyone else comes back there. I gotta meet with the police next week to file a theft claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how you feel I had my cuddeback stolen 3 years ago. I know exactly who did it but have no proof. Went to go get the camera after turkey season and it was gone. I'm going to check 3 cameras today. Keeping my fingers crossed they are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
