I've had a stand stolen only once and I guess for as many stands as I have out there and as many years I have hunted that isn't all that bad.

But it was stolen by a guy who actually did go to the trouble to return to the woods with a boltcutters and cut the cable...just like the one in the photo above. [:@]

That one from Sportsman guide is going to be on all my more expensive stands next year. That is a great device from what I can tell by the description and the photo. Thanks Timber Creek!
