Ignoring the fixed draws debate, I do feel you're kinda asking for draws to be snagged if you leave them up on the wall. It only takes one, or maybe two people to steal them. Assuming he could sell the draws for $10/piece, $350 for a couple hours work probably sounds appealing to any thief, especially considering the risk here is very low (ie there's a low chance you'll be charged...although you might be confronted by some climbers with a video camera).

I'm not necessarily saying don't fix draws...I"m just saying that if you do, do it knowing they might not be there tomorrow.

Weather or not you agree with fixed draws doesn't matter. Stealing is STEALING.......Bad,bad Karma!!!! Are we really gonna do this agan?!?!?

Seriously? You're going to lead in blatantly declaring your stance on the issue and finish is the same breath with 'but I don't think we should discuss it'?
