Looks like this trend is increasing. Head's up for equipment being listed.

In this and age of $20 wifi security cameras it upsets me that the airport doesn't have even a cheap surveillance system. :mad:

Just guessing that probably wasn't Narco ADFs and old Cessna radios.!! Don't believe you could steal enought of those in one stop to accumulate $40,000 worth of equipment. However, The value of tray mounted and portable electronics these days can easily exceed that.
Sorry for those who lost that, was close by here at Cherokee Co north of Atlanta. Hope those responsible can be identified in the sale ads and equipment recovered.

This is just horrible. Even worse that it?s one of our local airports here in North Georgia.

Our airport has lots of security cameras, and
 
caught a thief stealing "stuff" out of hangar --- he had managed to turn off several cameras, but missed one. ----- serving 10 years!

Couldn?t they just check out who flew in by looking at the ADS-B history? Just a thought

Outside the mode C, no ADS-B required. Don't even need to talk on the radio.

But well within radar coverage, a call to Hampton ATC by the right person might well reveal an excellent lead.

What makes you think a thief is going to be using a transponder or ADSB?

What makes anyone think the thief flew in?
