A.K.A.- you sound like the type of guy who mite take a stand under those conditions to me. if you dont know the story behind it (the stand) and you should know that someone is coming back for it! do you honestly think its o.k. to find a tree stand in the woods during the bussiest hunt week of the year and not think that the stand belongs to somebody who wouldnt come back for it?. in my state you have to turn in found valuables for a time period. i have found gold on the beach and brought it to my local police. i wouldnt look good wearing a ring that says meriam on it i guess its just how honest you are. your analogy is the makings of a thief to me. YOU CANT FIND A CORVETTE ON THE STREET WITH KEYS IN IT AND DRIVE IT AWAY AND DECLARE OWNERSHIP. now thats a dumb analogy but true
