Yes I've hada treestand stolen,when I went back to the tree there was a different stand in it. So I just sat in that one for the night and the guy comes up you can imagine the exchange I had with him. But he denied stealing my stand I figured nobody would be that dumb to steal a stand out of a tree and put another one up in the same tree on private land.

sorry about the run on makes it hard to read but I am being lazy today
