Just curious, has anyone ever had anything stolen from their plane

from your home field?

I am debating whether it's safer to leave my 396 in the plane, or take
it with me in a rental car that might be parked downtown, etc. I
highly suspect the plane is safer, but just wondering if anyone has any
history.

Many insurers will allow you a rider/adder policy to cover headsets,
portable GPS, or tablets that are used in the plane.

It is expensive (relative to the value of the objects) but beats
having to remove/hide the equipment at the end of each flight.
