Tree stands go missing
Hunters hang them 24/7; mostly by their lonesome.
Left outside, they are still worth good money or reuse by a hunter.
It's easier to keep them there in the woods, instead of carrying them home.
Even after one is stolen.
No one ever discovered the hidden hiding spot.
Tools were invented to remove tree stands. Some long before they were ever invented. Thieves don't mind carrying tree stands one way out of the woods. The owner carries it in. He did half the work.
Only a cheap fool would carry a tree stand into and out of the woods, on the same day. Ain't many of them.

I am worried about someone stealing mine I just got for Christmas and am looking into getting a security box for mine. Look on CamLockBox for a Python cable and the box. The other thing is if anyone has any advice for me on how to protect my ground blind from getting stolen.

the treestand industry is a billion dollar a year business, read somewhere that 85% of treestands purchased today are purchased to replace stands that were stolen.
that's 850 million dollars worth. I use lock on stands and a climbing stick, the stand is padlocked to the tree, I take the stick in and out with me when I'm hunting in areas that I don't know exactly who is there. might get stolen, but they will earn it.

I myself am a younger hunter but my neighbors used to do some hunting back there and have all said be careful due to some kids going back there and stealing. My neighbor suggested the same thing that'd be a good scare about 12 at night

Would be rather pointless to cablelock a pop up blind when a pocketknife will cure the situation.

Stolen Stand
I haven't had much time to hunt but have been out maybe once a week. I have 3 stands at one spot, today I go out one stand is gone. I've had stands there for 3 years had trail cams out never locked anything up I've never even seen anyone back where I go. Today out of no where it's gone a buddy stand with the swing down shooting rail just disappeared
