A pair of bumbling thieves apparently weren’t sharp enough to notice, or just didn’t care. It’s the incident of trail cam catches crooks at Canyonlands.
Artifacts looted
Law enforcement park rangers at Canyonlands National Park are seeking information from the public to help identify suspects involved in an archeological theft incident. The clever “Big Brother watches” device was deployed at Cave Spring Cowboy Camp in the Needles district of the park.
In a video recorded at the archeological site, the pair entered a signed-as-closed area. From there they removed artifacts from a cabinet and handled historic harnesses in a manner that had the potential to damage them.
Trail cam catches crooks—maybe not the only witness

String ’em up!
Don’t hold back, Drew.🤣 Have a good evening/night. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Dumbasses, throw the book at them.
Thank you, Russ and Tina! 🙂 My goodness! Shameful! But, they must have no shame, or respect, or perhaps they just cannot read. 🤔😯 Thanks again and safe travels! 🙂
The sense of entitlement in some Americans is strong.
That sign says, “Do Not Enter”. Yep, that don’t apply to me.
The speed limit is clearly marked as… Yep, that don’t apply to me.
And those are but two examples we see every day on our travels.
Low brainwave indolent neanderthals. They walk among us, dragging their knuckles in the dirt. We see them everywhere, seemingly more every day. Throw the book at them! But fat chance THAT will happen, eh?
Should be pretty easy to catch up with. After all, how many slacked-jawed morons with dorky beards and toothless girlfriends ARE there out there?
