I haven't been so lucky. I had one stolen up my camp the weekend before last archery season. I figured i wouldn't let it happen again so i chained one in the woods behind my house. I even took ALL of my climbing sticks down, and this time, they didn't steal my stand, but instead they cut my strap and then put wheel bearing grease all over it! I probably would have rather seen them take it, because its like 6:00 in the morning and you wake up to a handfull of grease! Never did anything to them but i had a guy that told me who they were and he said they were in there twenties... I'll be looking for them next year though.
