I too have lost stands, on provate property. On each of my stands, I have a laminated card attached and visible that reads something to the effect of "Before you steal this treestand, please be aware that your picture has already been taken, and the authorities will be contacting you shortly"

Its BS, I dont have their picture, but it makes a person think twice about ripping that stand down.........especially now in the age of trail cameras and videos because it certainly could be true. Knock on wood, I havent lost one since I started attaching this card.

Now if my thief is on here, well then I just blew my cover[:@]
