Ive climbed into a ladder stand on public, my skin crawls the entire time. Now imagine the owner comes and you refuse to get out? Yikes

Yup , pretty stupid , but, I wouldn’t put it past some people

It is such a dirtball move to climb into a stand that is not yours and even worse to refuse to get out when someone claiming to be the owner shows up. 

What are the chances that someone is walking through the woods to that exact spot, claims to be the owner and is not. I would think pretty low. 

 

First of all , I would not use someone’s stand that I didn’t know . But , even if I did , if someone showed up and said it was theirs AND I KNEW DAMN WELL IT WADNT MINE , I’d leave , no questions asked

I believe the OP is hunting relatively small private spots. Here, I think common courtesy should be not to use someone else's stand when 2 or more hunters have permission. If the idea is to keep spots hidden, even climbers leave telltale signs, especially on pine or soft bark trees. But climber sign is less obvious than a hang on or ladder stand, and may go unnoticed.
