I saw a day pack disappear in a second when the owner was
probably 50 feet away from it. I looked over saw the pack,
reached for mine to go sit by it to guard it. By the time I
got up to move toward it, it had gone. I didn't see the
culprit!

It sounds like you're making a case for using a bear canister even on day hikes. I've been wondering about this. Even on day hikes, every time I stop and set down my pack, whether to scout about taking pics, take a dip, or whatever, I wonder if a bear might find my day pack with my lunch and snacks.

I guess I'll start carrying my bear canister even on day hikes ...
