I've been putting out my trail cam/cams on public land for 6 years, and have yet to have one stolen. I never leave my climber in the woods unless I know I'll be back by first light the following morning to hunt. So, I've never had one stolen on public land. I did however, get one stolen on private land that was cable locked![:@][:'(][>:]

Never leave anything out on public land....I left two stands of mine out on the military base I hunt(you would think people would have respect) and they were stolen two consecutive years. I will never leave a stand out again.
Where I bear hunt I leave my trail cams and portable stands out for about a month or so. So far no one has taken anything. God speed if I catch the SOB who does!
Legally I am not allowed to leave anything on the public lands that I hunt. I have thougt about it a few times but don't want to risk my gear getting stolen.
It depends. I do leave trail cams out, but only this time of year. Come Sept 1st, I take them down. I do have one chainon I leave up because I am confident that no one can get to it, or see it without knowing that it is there.
Other than that, I pack in my climber, or leave it if I am coming back that next morning.

He's got the beef to back it up! All those bears he's got-- killed with his bare hands!
I never leave anything in the woods that I would miss. I come across a lot of stands and cameras when I scout. I believe it's fairly safe to leave things out in the areas I hunt. I like to leave interesting photos for the guys that have cameras out. Especially if I know who's camera it is!
