Tree stand still there

[Jim]

I was out doing a little shotgun deer hunting and was happy to see that no one has stolen my ladder stand yet. They did steal the memory cards out of my cameras, but had the decency to leave the cameras alone.

What's that white stuff? I lock my cameras down...tree and all.

I know, the stands have been there for 3 years now. The cameras only during the summer and season. Where I hunt, you need landowner permission, so most play by the rules. I will be buying new cameras next year and will lock them down, out them up higher, and do things the smart way.

I don't get thieves. Memory is so inexpensive... what's to gain by stealing it? a few bucks? Gads.

Maybe they just wanted to read the cards to see what's passing by and they'll return them? Nah, people suck

Possibly animal rights activists. They don't want you knowing what's out there. Stealing the memory cards are most likely a misdemeanor, but taking the whole camera might jack up the penalties to jail time. It's sometimes surprising how much research criminals will do.
Could also be trespassers. Saw the camera(s) on the way out, and realized their pic was on it.
