My family used to have an old lodge down in Whiting in the Pine Barrens.
Every summer the place would get ransacked. Locals told us it was Paegans (biker gang).
We would have friends hunt there in autumn when we couldn't go and they reported vandalism and lots of trespassers.
The deer mounts were stolen. The old pot-belly stove was stolen. The triple bunk beds were stolen. The Dining hall had a huge oak table that could seat 15, they knocked down the wall and stole that too.
If you couldn't be there every weekend - you couldn't protect the place. Alarms wouldn't work because no one could respond to it.
Eventually vandals began dumping garbage there. I felt like that Indian on the old pollution commercial.
We wound up selling the place - it was sad, I learned to hunt and shoot there.
