Been through that before Jeff. I had a trail camera and a stand stolen less than 200 yards from my house last year. I checked them in mid January towards the end of bow season. I went out to take them down a few days later and both were gone. Like you, I'm 99% sure who did it. Not much you can do about it, but it sure feels like you just got kicked in the biscuits. All my stands are locked now...kinda sad that I have to do that on 30 acres behind my house.[>:]
