RE: TREESTAND THEFT!!!!!!
I always lock mine to the tree and remove the bottom section of the ladder when I will not be hunting for a while. As for what to do when you find him, find his vehicle after he goes into the woods, flatten all 4 tires, bust out every light, (if diesel, pour gas into his tank), and last but not least, take a shoot on his hood! Or you could call the local game warden, which all my stand have my name and # etched into them in a hidden spot.

RE: TREESTAND THEFT!!!!!!
This is why I use a climber and always take it. I hear too many stories about people's lock-ons. I'dsticka cheap one out there with nails up through the seat that are hidden by the cushion. That should fix the SOB.
I had a cheap climber that I used to hide in my spot a few years ago and someone stole it. The darn thing weighed about 55 lbs due to the 3/4" plywood base.
I don't understand why people do this stuff. I've seen guy's climbers out all the time and wouldn't think about stealing one.

Go buy another cheap or used stand, put it in the same tree, set up a trail camera, (day time only or IR) and catch a picture of them. A friend of mine did this, saw the guy at the check in station a week later, called game warden, went to his house and he had over 100 stands, many of which were for sale! Got busted!

RE: TREESTAND THEFT!!!!!!
I'd recommend investing in a good kryptonite motorcycle lock and chain in the future. Those things are impossible to cut or brake.
Well worth the $120.

Strutnbuck,
that's a great idea unless the guy finds the trail cam too. [&:]
