Another thing we always do at hunting camp is put 1 to 3 trail cameras out. Usually do one way up in tree looking down, one pointing at car level and one pointing at camp. In the years we've been doing this never once had to go through the pictures.

The problem with that is, thieves strike when you least expect it. I won't give them an opportunity. Or be naive enough to think they won't hit me. If it looks like you kill things, maybe they'll think, this guy's got a gun..let's look for it. I remember a scene in Full Metal Jacket...when that private left his foot locker open...the DI said "If it wasn't for people like you, their wouldn't be any thieves around, would there?"

 Nothing that I had in the Pod camper storage was really worth stealing. Chair, EZ up, hoses. I have a small Weber Q120 that I left on it's stand, and my chair left near the camper for the weekend, and never had problems.

 Think about it. If someone stole your stuff and you noticed, you would report it to the local police and the campground, then there would be police asking all the other campers if they saw anyone near your area. It would make it very difficult for another camper staying at the campground to get away clean with that kind of theft.

 I have had my car broken into, and some valuable items stolen from me at a job I used to have. Both experiences left me angry and upset. In my mind, none of my stuff was worth stealing since it only had value to me, but it had some monetary value for the pot-heads that needed cash they could get at a pawn shop for the car stereo and the voltmeter that were stolen.

 I learned to let it go, it's just stuff. I can afford to replace a few hundred dollars of camping crap. I don't take the family jewels with me when camping (well actually, I do carry those with me, but no one want them).

If you stress about thieves when your camping, you are camping in the wrong area or for the wrong reasons. I have left hunting camps full of valuables while taking an animal for a day, never worried about it. Maybe just make your camp look like you kill things and no one will mess with it?

+2 to SH and Leo, not you're secured stuff you need to worry about, it's the sitting out stuff. Plus there's not a lot of MS 13 campers. Gangland hasn't made it to campgrounds, lately.

Thought it was common knowledge.. many swap the outside door locks for combo locks etc. We liked the combo locks, because NO key to worry about.. LOL.. as far as security for valuables.. no door, including the dead bolted main door, takes more than 2 seconds to get into with a large screwdriver. So...
