I had a fixed hang-on stand stolen two years ago. The kicker was that it was locked to the tree. The person who stole it must have had some serious tools to cut through the cable. I also had removed half the screw in steps. It makes you wonder what kind of person is willing to go to that much trouble for a $60 dollar stand. Eventually what goes around comes around. I hope they have nothing but pine squirrels circling their stand next season!
