I hiked in Rubio Canyon today, looking for a trailcam location. I left the camera & my pack (heavy) cabled to a tree and covered with leaves while I hiked farther up canyon. I took everything of value out of the pack, but forgot my Olympus point-and-shoot was in a small side pocket. Returned to find the pack moved, all zippers open, and realized later the camera was gone. I also noticed the tape over the motion sensor on the trailcam had been moved, and out of curiosity, checked to see what the cam captured.

Stupid me for forgetting about the camera - but what the hell???

So please - if you recognize this person, who was in Rubio near the Pavilion today around 11am, LET ME KNOW.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Unbelievable.

Post his picture at the trail head and set up your camera to film him when he tears it down.

That guy looks like a transient. His jeans are a bit ripped up, and just looks really creepy. Be careful out there.

I'd file a police report, supplying them a CD with original video

I'd go around the neighborhood, knock on doors and ask if people know him

If he answers the door the first words outta my mouth would be I want my camera back!

I'd post the photo at the trailhead

Let's nail this ASSHOLE!

THANKS guys! Very Happy

I'm filing a police report tomorrow. Then I'll make the trailhead sign, and can put the police as a contact, so I don't have to give out my own info.

I really appreciate the support!
