I have had my climber stolen over night on my own property before. Hunted till dark, then came back next afternoon for an evening hunt and alas, nada!!!!! I have since taken to that when I hunt private property, I put up ladder stands and anchor them to the tree with2- 6" lag bolts with a 6" long, 1/8th" thick strap to the tree just behind the seat. I also use bolts with acorn nuts instead of the spring clips on the ladder itself and make sure the legs are down into the dirt so they cant pick the ladder up as easy.
