Tree stands stolen
« on: September 20, 2010, 09:18:54 PM »
One of my buddies up in Bellingham had two of his ladder stands stolen this last week.They were chained and locked and they still took them.Beware,and if anyone has them or knows of someone bragging about stealing them,pm me.Thanks,bb94.

Sorry to here that, I am afraid to leave my car locked on the side of the road any more.
When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

He was pissed to say the least!He did get a nice buck out of one of them,before they stole them.His son was still hunting out of them for deer,before someone nabbed them.Bellingham PD is also on the hunt,as he works for them,ironically.

Who does this kinda crap ?  Whatever happened to earning the stuff you use instead of ripping off whatever you can find that's not tied down.  Oh that's right, you guys even tied this stuff down.  Hope you catch these pathetic individuals and they get their just reward  >:(

Rising unemployment and an increase in cheap idiots..

Just a theory  :twocents:

Hope they find them, this kind of stuff is just plain sad

 Sorry to hear.  Ten years ago for me...it was padlocked and I removed the steps.  The *censored*s still got it.  Gardner Unit.

times have changed for sure.I remember playing till it got dark,and now am afraid to leave my kids alone for any length of time!!This is the second time we have lost stands.I lost one 20years ago next an old orchard,and the guy insisted I was killing all the deer!I hadn't even shot one when he used a ladder and bolt cutters and got it down!I did get it back,though!I remove my steps so people can get up to the stand!Ladders are to tempting for people to use /and steal apparently.

There needs to be lo-jack on these things so we can track down the fools who steal them. Better yet, wait until, the next hunting season when they'd use them, then go disrupt their honey-hole before retrieving your stand  :tung:. Seem's fitting
