I found out late yesterday that my cabin was broken into and the place was ransacked! >:( On top of that serval thousand dollars of goods were taken, windows and doors broken, drawers opened up and dumped all over the floors and everything I own up there was gone through! I can’t begin to tell you all how angry I am and how violated I feel over this!
If any of you have some good ideas for me on how to catch the perps or how to prevent it in the future I am all ears!
Thank you in advance.
Joel
Very very sorry man .. I feel sick when my truck gets broken into, I can only image what you are feeling!
Joel,
There’s a techno gadget….and I’ll have to get on the Googler to find it…that acts as a burglar alarm by dialing your cellphone. In other words, when the motion detector is tripped, the built-in modem text messages your cell phone to let you know there has been an intrusion. It’s designed to catch the bastards….not scare them away. What you do with them when you arrive is up to you.
Other than catching these dudes…I think your best bet, based on your location, is to harden the target as best you can.
MAN – I am sorry. They have taken more than just stuff… they have taken your freedom.
My uncle had the same issue at his hunting cabin out in the middle of no where. He did the poor mans security and it worked. It was actually suggested by some friends who had a similar issue on a hunting lease. He did it this way because no matter what kind of alarm you have, it would take to long for the police or yourself to get there. 10 minutes and the place will be taken apart
Motion Cameras for hunting. They are easy to hide and put in plain view. He got pictures of the perps, a trophy buck and some quail that hold over from the dog trials they have at they cabin. The population in that area is low and it was easy to find the people that robbed his place. If they come back to your cabin – it would be good to have a picture of who did it.
He also has some of the old now illegal steel bear traps if you want to catch them in the house and keep the people who did it for your pleasure. You are welcome to them.
And to let you know. The cabin that I talked about had a complete security system like you guys were talking about. When it is out there like this. Those sytems really do nothing but make them work faster and tear more stuff up
Sucks Man.
I know how you feel, my house was broken into in July.
I contacted brinks, about an alarm system and I also have no land lines. For a extra few bucks a month they have a radio broadcast box that will get the job done.

That sucks, really sucks 🙁We’ve had our house broken into twice over the years and the word “violated” is about right.
Not much you can do about whats gone, not a whole lot you can do to prevent it from happening again either, short of turning into a prison cell and barring everything.
Security alarms.
Worth their weight in gold for resiential houses, not sure how much good it will do for a remote cabin. They dont stop breaks in, they limit how much time the crooks have.A gun safe for valuables is probably a very good idea. Mabe a trail cam as well but the reality is thats like a waste even if you get a pic or two.
Without electricity and anything close makes it very difficult. This was the reason I suggested the motion hunting cameras. They are battery powered with a digital camera. It does not protect the stuff but it lets you know who has it which is the only real security you would have. Knowing myself, I would keep it unlocked as well because if they want in, it would cost more to fix what they tear up trying to get in. My wife is the opposite and locks everything.
At my uncle’s place the thieves came back three times before being caught. This place did have video, motion alarms and had both silent and noisy alarms. They literally back a van up to the cabin. They avoided the video bay taking the video camera. The noise made them destroy the place and The hunting cameras were the only trick. They got caught by a camera outside the house not the one in the house (they took it). The camera outside is a pain because it records all wildlife but just take that negative and make it positive. Maybe you’ll see Bigfoot.
