Turkeygirl Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Guys...I am so upset. Just went to check my trail cam and move it and it's gone! An over $200 Scoutguard that mom gave me as a graduation gift from nursing school last May, GONE!!! Had it set by a field edge for turkeys, it was there last Tuesday. There's a nice mark on the backside of the tree where someone it looks like to have sawed through the cable lock!!! I have a suspicion it was that one kid down the road I ran into 2 weeks ago, or some farm worker of the land owner. I cannot believe I've become a "victim" so to speak. Called one neighbor and told him to keep his eye out, emailed another neighbor...When Andy gets home, I am going down to the landowner's and then stop at the house of which the one kid I suspect is. I know though that he would/will lie through his teeth, that is the aggravating part. I cannot believe this...I know it's just a thing but an expensive thing and special because given to me by mom, for 2 years of hard schooling. :angel2::no::bummed::bummed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sorry.....but Welcome to the Club, one I wish I was not part of. Happen WAY to often! Its not fair, its not right but it sadly is the world we live in..... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's one of those things where it'd be pointless to call the police and you just say "What can ya do"...The kid if he did take it, would lie through his teeth, at that point it's just let it go but anyway I'll let you all know if I find out anything tonight. Just REDICULOUS! I'm emailing the cable lock company as well and telling them their cable is not so cut proof afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhunter56 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear this, I had my 2nd tree stand taken this past deer season, it's a shame what this country has come to, and it's only getting worse. Growing up, you would hear of a store or bank robbery once in a while, now it's killing and robbery all the time, any where, any time, all the time..

Turkeygirl Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah, we have 2 ladder stands without locks on the same property...I'm telling Andy we better go check and see if they are still there and take them down while we can...

PotashRLS Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sorry.....but Welcome to the Club, one I wish I was not part of. Happen WAY to often! Its not fair, its not right but it sadly is the world we live in..... :( I too am a not so proud member of that club. Sorry to hear of your bad luck Ruth. Since the Scoutguards are quite original is appearance, take a picture of one with you to show everyone you are talking to. If they see it, they will certainly remember to call you.

Turkeygirl Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks wooly, but like I said, I think you should hang on to your cam....You may be needing it:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 That is too bad Ruth. Been fortunate here not to have had any cams stolen yet, but I did recently lose 2 homebrews that I built to the floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Sorry to hear that Ruth...I too am a member of that club. I know that hurt, violated feeling. The fact that your cam was a gift from Mom makes it hurt more. A crappy feeling. I filed a report with the Police because if it turns up, you might get it back. Did ya save the serial# and notify Bushnell in case it comes in for service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well Andy came home and actually left without me,lol. He went to the landowner's farm...Found out 2 guys were hunting in that field the other day, no permission, and got kicked off by one of the workers spreading manure...I'm thinking it may have been them...either didn't want their photo seen or act of revenge for getting kicked off. Kid down the road apparently didn't act guilty, you never know....Disappointing but not much to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an HCO Scoutguard...Don't know if I saved the serial number....But it wouldn't hurt to maybe email the company I suppose to let them know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Just can't trust anything left in the outdoors. Sorry to hear about the cam being stolen, TG. Some pretty ignorant people out there. Makes you wonder. Those cable locks are not very secure and mostly keep the honest people from taking things. I've had a stand stolen that was "secured" with one of those Kryptonite bike locks with a heavy cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Stupid, ignorant and many other inappropriate names for those kinds of people. I hate a thief with a passion!

Its not fair, its not right but it sadly is the world we live in..... :( I hear you Todd, and I feel for you Ruth...nothing like going to a tree stand site, and there not being a treestand.

Turkeygirl Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yeah the fact that some so called "hunter" would stoop so low...but that is what sin has done to humans...Need to figure out how I'm going to secure a camera when I get a new one....need a metal chain,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 A cryin shame Ruth. I hope it is returned, by the guilty party. Just keep spreading the word, and it may just show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
