Someone has the primos 46 on sale for about that price. Not sure if it was Cabelos, BP or Dicks. I have 3 of the prios 35 and they are very reliable, or at least mine have been. You can pick up the primos 35 for $100 or less if on sale. What county in Texas were they stolen?

As was said on some other post that I have seen about camera's, buy them at Academy and you can return them. I personally haven't done it, but sounds like the best bet. I have had very few problems with Moultrie and when I did, the customer service has been easy to deal with.
Hate to hear about the theft. Is that all they took?

That's unusual for that area,lots of big places and not so easy access.Like txshntr said,Academy is really easy to deal with,just keep your original box,clean up the unit,find an Academy bag and walk up to customer service and tell them the problem.I've done this twice before,one unit was close to 2 years old and they let me go pick out a new one

Cabelas has the Moultrie D-55 IR for $99 and they take pretty good pics from what I have seen on them.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I paid 129.99 at academy for it. I also have this one that I bought at the end of last season. So far I have liked it. It went on sale Sunday, wish I would have known it was going on sale when I bought the Primos a few weeks ago.. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_29309_-1?N=329211385

Moultrie has really upped their product this year, I don't think you will be dissapointed at all. Alot less spooked animals, decent trigger time for the price and battery life will last you all season.

I have both Primos 35 and 46. Great cameras with no problems. Check out these security boxes I built for my cameras. Might help your problem.
