[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 513017, member: 29166"] People steal stuff everywhere, even Iowa. I was out shooting at a State Park yesterday and somehow lost a small amount of photo gear. I initially thought I had left the items out and drove away w/o them - and they were gone by the time I returned - but I have a photo that seems to indicate they were stolen while I was around 100 feet away.
