I agree. Since you don't know when or where it happened, and nothing was
taken, the cops are going to have zero interest in this.

When I actually had an avionics theft back in '96, I couldn't even get the
cops to come out to the airport. They just took a report over the phone so I
could put in an insurance claim.

In real life, all of those ominous signs at the airport about it being a
federal offense to tamper with aircraft are just window dressing. If it's
just a property crime, no one really cares.

Well, I guess that depends on a lot of factors. I fly out of a small non-towered
airport out in the farm lands. One day I saw someone driving around the ramp,
then stop at a plane and start working on it. Within about 30 minutes there were
two squad cars pulling up to check them out.

Calling about a crime that is possibly in progress is entirely different
than calling about an attempted crime that occurred at some unknown time
and in some unknown place and left nothing missing. Do you really not
understand the difference in these scenarios?
