Default Burglary

Were the presets in the avionics as you left them?
I heard of some folk stealing avionics to order.
They steal them, remove identical ones from another aircraft and replace
them with the stolen ones, then sell the ones they removed.
So while everyone is looking for the serial number of the stolen ones,
they are in another aircraft and the ones being sold are not being
searched for. Sneaky eh?

Good luck in getting your stuff back

Looks like a pro job. No vandalism apparent. Plane was unlocked with
key in ignition. And left that way by perp(s).
The question: Would any of you have an A&P do a thorough check of the
bird or would do as I think I might and just do a more than usual
preflight?
