It depends on set up area. If you feel real safe that no one will find it then get a better one. But if your in an area that someone may stumble across it then I would get a cheaper one.
I have a 59.00 wallmart Bushnell that works fairly well for the money. And I have a Tasco that is a little fancier and works very nice also. I have had both chewed on by elk and bear.

On the first setting a big bear bit the Tasco and cracked the flash cover on the flash

I have never had one stolen but know several people who have.
