ksdeerhunter03 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 So I hung a cardboard box I spray painted black in the same place the camera that was stolen was. I put a Day 6 Outdoors Plot Watcher on the other side of the field, kinda high up in a tree. I checked that plot watcher Thursday night and had the guys on camera! They were in there stealing the iron (pipe, i beams etc) that we had on the place, and I guess took my cameras so they wouldn't get caught. I figured out what time they were coming into the place, so about noon Friday I had my wife drop me off, so my car wasn't around, and I put my leafy realtree suit on and went and sat off the road about 30 yards. Not more than 30 minutes later HERE THEY CAME! I had already forwarded the photos to a friend who works for the OKC PD, and he had extra guys in the area for when I called in. I called dispatch and told them the thieves were there, and the cops responded! I couldn't get to the main road before 2 officers were waiting, we jumped on my Stealth and rode up to the thieves as they were leaving with a load. They were taken with guns drawn and arrested. They did admit to stealing the cameras and pipe and were booked into jail on Grand Larceny charges. I still don't have my cameras back, but its good to know we caught the guys responsible for it. The cops are going to go to the pawn shop the guys told them they pawned my cameras at and try to recover them for me. Just wanted to give you guys an update.

dbHunterNY Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It depends on if them just going to jail and maybe fines are enough, but I'd figure out how much you didn't get back and what it costs. Then take them to court too. Hit them hard! Regardless, even if you don't decide to go further, it's good to see you caught them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
