I still remember everything that happened the day my stand was taken. I sat in it in the morning, went home for lunch and a nap then went back and found it gone. It was a $100 stand and they took my ladder as well. I had engraved my name in the bottom of the stand and check every stand I find in the woods that was like my old one. If I ever find it again, I won't just take it back- I will patiently sit at the bottom of the tree and wait for him to come. He will know what I think of stealing my tree stand- this I promise. They must of had pretty big ones if you know what I mean because if I had been walking back in and seen them walking out with my stand, someone would have been shot. I respect other people's things and truly do not see how other people can't respect my stuff.
