Well, I guess calling a disabled plane parked at an airport while awaiting
parts "unattended." Of course, I would take that to indicate there is
insufficient security, even though the EAA member/thief obviously had
acess to the facility. How in the heck can you steal an airplane engine
with no one noticing a thing??? And then cutting a hole in the fuelage to
steal the autopilot? This must have taken some time, and no one noticed???





Oh come on! If you park your car in your driveway, and someone breaks
into it and takes the radio, does that mean you have insufficient
security? I suppose if your standard for "sufficient" means that
nothing undesirable EVER happens, then yes, that's insufficient.

If, on the other hand, a case like this tends to make the news, then
that in itself might just point out that IT'S THE EXCEPTION!

Sheesh, how many cars were broken into last night? Stolen for
joyrides? How many homes? And is that making the headlines?

The reason this story is getting the coverage it is getting is because
it is an anomaly.

So perhaps what you can take from this is that GA security is so good
that when something like this actually happens it's so out of the
ordinary that it makes headlines. Yeah, sounds good to me.

Besides GA security just needs to be good enough for the airplane
owners at the airport to bo okay with it. What more is required?
