Someone once told me about a scheme avionics thieves have used to get rid of
known hot items - they swap them. The perpetrator leaves the "hot" unit in
your plane and sells your unit as you didn't report it stolen. You might
want to check your serial numbers.

I was inside paying for the fuel, my girlfriend went out and found it.
She didn't tell me until I was already in the plane several times and the
preflight was done. I think if I had walked up to it first, I would have
went back in and raised hell and maybe even called the police but at that
point I figured I'd be wasting my breath.

I can't imagine who else would break in and not take anything.

Did you ask? It seems kind of odd that an FBO would do this. It is
fairly
easy to find out who owns an airplane. I would report it *immediately*
to
the FSDO. Tampering with an aircraft is a felony I believe.
