Squirrels taking them, no. Had to squirrel-proof the feeders, though, to keep them off. And started taking the feeders in at night to keep the bears from destroying them.
Very distantly related to this, I read a story about some thieves who robbed a bank only to have their car stolen by another thief…wnd(dot)com/2023/12/thief-steals-car-used-armed-robbers-getaway/
The squirrels have given up trying to eat from the feeder and just get what the birds drop. The raccoons try pulling it down and have bent the shepards hook. But the deer just seem to sniff at the feeder and then settle for eating whatever the squirrels leave behind.

The deer had to help him. He promised it a cut of the seeds.

A woman in Colorado was gored by a deer who was hanging out in her yard. She had bird feeders out and the deer would eat the seeds on the ground.
