no luck catching the culprits. the parts that had to be replaced cost 60$ and 15$. at least the stands can be used again. i dont think much will stop a person wanting to steel a stand. with a set of big bolt cutters and those battery powered sawzalls we dont have a chance. my buddy is handi cap so having to bring in a stand all the time is a pain but now its his only choice. what we need is a way to put a transmitter in a stand so you can go find your stand again.
