CBX, I've had the same experience, with stolen cameras. I lost 4 in one night. I thought I'd be slick and put them in at dusk so no one would see them. I went the next day and all where gone. I followed the foot prints to the road. There were two of them. Called DEC and the cops to have it legal. They found them on ebay 2 years later, was one of the neighbors who let me park my car in their driveway. It sux no matter who did the job.
