bugger, I am disullusioned. I do know that water in gasoline is no fun. Did that to a motor cyclist that used to terrify the neighbourhood. It was so funny watching him rev **** out of the motor and then have it just die. He soon go sick of it and didn't see him again. Probably too lazy to drain the fuel system

We have an issue with tresspassers on our property and with most people being contacted by the police will curb any future tresspassing, but there are always those who think they are above the law. I mounted a plot watcher camera high in a tree to catch tresspassers and poachers, sadly it's the same family. Only problem with a plot watcher is that the sd card has to be swapped every week as there are thousands of pics that you watch as a video. It makes it easy to see what is happening and surprising as to all the animal activity that is never caught with a regular camera.
You might want to mount a hidden camera high in a tree that faces another game camera that is extremely visible say right by the blueberries. Thieves and tresspassers will either damage or try to steal the visible camera when it's noticed since they know they are caught. Then you have distruction of private property or theft. Buy a very high dollar camera that's over 500 and return it for a low priced one, be sure to hold on to the receipt. Over 500 is the magic number for escilating criminal charges. Just be sure the hidden camera doesn't have a perfect view of the face of visible camera, but many cameras look the same.
It reminds me of my father in law telling me about a past neighbor stealing sweet corn from another neighbor for years. One year the farmer decided to try their hand at planting ag corn and for some reason the neighbor decided to steal it also thinking it was sweet corn. Clearly ag corn today doesn't look anything like sweet corn but it was the 70's when it happened. I don't know the full story but they said the mother in law left by ambulance due to stomach issues.

I like this idea all the way up to the point of doing the camera swap. Don't put yourself in any jeopardy of being discredited for lying. Do everything right. Not only will you feel more confident about it but you will keep your case more tight. Also if it comes to light you did the switch you can rest assured the prosecutor and law enforcement will not trust you in the future. Other than that I like the plot camera idea, it makes sense they wouldn't look high in the trees.

In Missouri, we just put some nails in boards and turn them upside down...just for fun....need to make sure they are extra rusty.Sulla said:
Well said- I was a little surprised someone suggested fraud/lying as a countermeasure.

Sorry, missed the replies to this thread over the past few days (no e-mail updates). I spoke with the State Trooper about 2 weeks ago and he indicated that he had been there a couple of times and left his card. I plan on calling him either tomorrow or Monday to check in. I don't want to call too often but I don't want this to get pushed back too far, either. I will update the thread after I speak with him again.
Neighbor called this week and asked if my gate got hit again (I tried pushing it gently with the loader on my tractor to open it and it seemed to dent really easy). He knew about my damage but thought it was worse. Tonight we noticed that it was, in fact, hit. Not sure what happened but about 1/4 mile from the gate I have another ingress route blocked with a piece of concrete and a few trees that were also moved along w/a new beer can. Not sure what to make of this.
I am planning on adding another camera aimed towards my barn door. I will keep it in plot watch mode but it will also trigger if there is motion so I can keep more eyes on our valuables down there.
