They are not yours. You should know better than to take equipment off of routes that does not belong to you.
2 draws? i reckon that sounds like booty material to me, should clean up after youself, or dont complain if things go missing

If you're going to leave them over-night, then that's booty. 2 draws seem like fair game to me. However if you had cinched on some quick-links on the end of dem dog bones, then that might have given those "people" a better idea of your intentions.

Are you kidding me? The two draws that he is talking about are the third and fourth draws of a FULLY equipped sport route on very steep rock.
Go to any sport area with steep enough rock and some (or all) of the bolts in the steepest sections will be equipped with draws. Quicklinked draws are used only when the draws are being left permanently. Regular draws are used when one person equipped the route so they can work it.
Either way, the intentions are very clear. The draws are as much booty as the bolts and hangers are.

sounds like someone should of used quicklinks anyways, if you were able to put them up there then you should be able to take them down afterwards, have some respect for other hobbists that want to enjoy that area

I had this problem with my draws being stolen off of routes I'm working before. I gave up bitching about it and started removing my draws arter I'm done. There are a lot of assholes out there and removing my gear is the best way to stay away from those type of people.

Unless the particular crag is your private playground you have to accept that other people are going to come along. You may leave draws with the intention of coming back and working a route, and you may feel that it’s clear that the draws have been left for that reason. If it’s a whole line of draws it is clear that it’s a project, you are just leaving one or two draws its ambiguous.
Personally, I think if you are leaving equipment of any kind, it needs to be very clear to others that it has been done intentionally, and that you are coming back for it, in cases where you are leaving one or two draws using quick links would signal this to others.
