Thieves in the woods

[Farmerjohn]

I really do hate thieves, Just as a warning to everyone out there keep close tabs on your treestands, I had some scumbag steal a two person ladder stand within the last two weeks off of private property, time to invest in a hidden game cam. I really hate ppl who wont work for what they want, I bust my azz working for my stuff and some scumbag steals it. Thats the problem with society today, no morals and ethics.

They will steal the cam best defence is a climber. although it is nice to just climb a latter.

I always locked mine to the tree. Not saying that they couldn't just cut the chain and take it, but I never had one stolen. The climber is nice for moving around or scouting, though...

I don't have that problem any more. 8' fence helps. Instead of chain, use cable. Much harder to cut.
Dale Earnhart DID steal my rattling horns once from across the fence. I called the ranch foreman and he recovered them from Dale. Could have at least signed them.

I agree with them being losers...someone tried to break into my truck early Sunday morning. Quit being lazy and try to earn money, not steal!!

The thieves that amaze me are the ones who actually work their butts off stealing scrap metal. Now for that amount of effort, they could get a real job and do pretty well for them selves. I remember a story of two guys who stole manhole covers, broke them up, and sold for scrap. Now thats a lot of work to be a thief!

The best part is it was locked, It had 2 cables on it and they used what im guessing is a demo saw to cut them by the marks on the tree, prolly stole that 2

With the way the economy is right now and going to get worse, I've noticed a huge increase in burglaries, thefts, vandals, killings etc.

Very sorry about your ladder, I hate thieves too! But everyone needs to watch out for themselves and be safe through these hard times.
