I agree with Jim. The lack of avionics theft, other than what was
loose and easy to pick up, would lead me to believe that you're
dealing with kids that were looking for easy pickings. They
obviously didn't know the payoff for a few seconds extra work involved
in sliding radios out of the panel.

I think a thorough preflight will suffice.

When I had my portable GPS, headset and Narco nav/com stolen years
ago, I quit leaving portable stuff in the plane. Insurance paid for
the panel mounted nav/com, but I was on my own for the rest.

unless they stole a radio, and replaced it with one from a different aircraft...

I should have mentioned the panel is all ARC and TKM. Also my wifes DC
was untouched atop the panel while mine was removed. And another in a
bag in the back. Just trying to piece together whatever logic can be
pieced.
It probably sounds crazy, but I'm almost appreciative. That is, that
they didn't carve their initials in the windshield or something. Slash
the seats. Take a ball peen to every steam guage. Just for something
to do.
Thanx for the replies.
