I just like to keep all possibilities open, discounting anything would be a foolish idea. I merely rank theories in order of which have the most evidence supporting their validity.

I am a firm supporter of Occam's Razor. I agree with Aero and JKat. I mean, when he turns around and finds his GF with the camera: he stops doing whatever it was he was doing, stops chewing his gum, and talks in his Nervous But Manly "I don't like this at all" voice. For me, that looks like genuine surprise.

The main reason for the planting theory is that Alex has been gone for about three years minding his own business. If he really left his camera in the closet, it probably would have either come up by now or else be hidden extremely well in there. Basically, why hasnt it come up until now? Especially considering he says that he moved recently. When you move, everything that makes it into your house is packed in a box, that either you or someone helping you packs. Nothing could really "accidentally" make it over.
NEW THEORY: The camera was planted during the move, since that would be the easiest to sneak something into the house. If the move was recent, it totally explains why the camera didn't come up until now. And honestly it looks recent, the house is way too clean.

I was a supporter of the it-was-planted theory until someone earlier in this thread (sorry, I don't remember who) pointed out that if we take the footage at the beginning as proof that it was planted then how did Amy not recognize it as taking place in her own home when she watched the tape? I find it hard to believe that she would watch that footage and not think to herself, "Huh, this looks like my kitchen and it apparently took place two minutes ago. That's odd."

also the fact that his memory should be well enough to know he has a camera with him for 3 years since then. alex didnt care about the tape. he was more concerned about the camera itself being there. theres no evidence showing that SM or masky can manipulate specific memories on certain objects.

that was her in the kitchen >_< and she probably didnt watch the entire thing. otherwise she would of seen more then just fuzzy stuff or whatever she said.

I have to agree with the folks who say "it had to be planted, you don't just forget a camera in the closet for three years". If for no other reason than the battery would have been dead had it gone without charge for so long.

But, really. This is the only set of circumstances I can imagine taking place to support the "it was in the closet all along" theory:

- Alex moved fairly long ago, before he met Amy, and stuffed the camera away to forget about it (rather than sell it)
- Amy somehow missed the camera throughout day-to-day operations in the home, until just a couple weeks before J was going to move again

Not impossible, no, but a fair stretch of the odds.
