I feel your pain, Ive had 9 of them stolen, all locked up, and most on private property. I stopped putting locks on them, if they want them theyll get them.

best way to solve this is set up a trail cam and then start talking loudly in the coffey shop about that awsome stand you hung over on the north 40. You will often find out who are your friends and who thinks they need a new stand. You only have to go to one guys house with pics and retrieve that stand he BORROWED and most of your stands will be safe for a while.

Cardeer, after reading your posts about the way things are in your neck of the woods I' m not surprised the PGC would do such a thing. Sounds like you' ve dealt with more than your share of crap over the years.
