They got us within the last two weeks at the camp house and the sherif stated we're not the only ones. Looks like they either came by and stayed a while or made a few trips. The chain at the gate was cut, knocked the lockbox off the front door to the house.. knocked the lock of an old camper.. stole lawnmower, generator, tools, lots of petty stuff like backpacks, old snares, old binos.. went through every cabinet and drawer in the house.. pulled all the liquor out of the cabinet, but left alone.. funny thing is, they left the good stuff like 4 wheelers, trailers, AC units.. things of higher value.. not sure if they wanted things less traceable, or if it was just crack heads looking for quick cash. Everything is replaceable, but just sux knowing someone came into our home and helped themselves to our stuff. Lesson learned and precautions taken.. I almost hope they come back now so we can identify the POS's..

Good thing you put the game cams up. We had a break in where nothing was taken, the guy came back a week later with a truck and trailer to get the golf carts. By that time we'd put up some cameras and left a note for him. Haven't had a problem since.
We also put up a "Warning! This property protected by electronic surveillance!" sign going into camp. I don't know if it'll deter a group of migrant workers looking for supplies, but it helps keep the honest people honest.

I'd bet $5 they come back, also you find stuff in pawnshops with 50 miles. They may not have had means to take the bigger stuff,,yet..
Hope they get caught red handed, if they steal, they will do most anything above that IMO.
There are some good solid deputies In Hamilton, they just get spread thin like most of Texas.

Our camp in central Oklahoma gotten broken into a few years ago. They too stole a bunch of worthless stuff, and left some of the more expensive items. I asked deputy about the randomness of the items and he told me it is methheads. They will take anything that they can easily sell for a few bucks at garage sales or flea markets. In my case, the took coffee maker, toaster, propane canisters, cheopo silverware, and all of my DVDs (35 or 40). They also rifled through all first aid kits, probably looking for pain meds, or allergy meds that can be used in cooking meth. Worst part was not the stuff they stole, but the damage they did to my camper breaking open the door.
And in our case, they robbed us the week after deer season had closed, but before we had gone up and broken camp. Guess they didn't want to chance facing a bunch of armed hunters. That was the second time I had been on a lease that was robbed, but the first time, up in Knox County, it was most likely kids as they didn't steal much, just trashed a bunch of stuff, mostly with a machete that we had left in camp.

Meth cookers like the propane tanks because they can transport fertilizer in them without suspicion unless you look real close.

We checked gatesville this weekend and put the word out, but the sheriff thinks the guys are coming from Hamilton based on the path of burgleries. Need to check up there as well. If you see an older husqvarna riding mower for sale, let me know.

We have found them with Anhydrous Ammonia in the propane tanks. They will then turn in the tanks for new ones to get rid of the evidence. The bad thing is the ammonia will de-grade the metal and when it goes under pressure it could lead to gas leaking out around the threads.
