Local community house out east of Geelong (Whittington) was having trouble with local yobs breaking in and trashing the place over weekends, so they installed a set of security cameras with several months of DVR capacity. On the very next weekend, they managed to get great footage of a dude dressed in black and full face balaclava saunter into view, calmly set up a tall step ladder, and unscrew the camera mounting. Then picture goes black... There's only so much you can do with a camera - just make sure it's bolted down! :-J Incidentally, if you got the QRT from us, and you know what order it came on, you can log on to the store and check the serial numbers in case there is an opportunity to check them against any that show up in a suspicious location. Serial numbers are embedded into the hardware too, so still available even if the label is removed or obscured. Cheers! Mike.

Hi guys, if you are in Sydney and by any chance get offered a near new Mikrotik QRT 5Ghz Unit really cheap it could be ours.
Unfortunately somebody decided to climb up onto a 8M high roof on Friday morning at one of our wireless POPs and stole our QRT, mast and guy wires. The incident has been reported to Police but I don't hold any faith in getting it back.
The installation was in Gladesville, it's now got me thinking about GPS units in radio enclosures and IP cameras watching antennas, we really shouldn't have to do this sort of thing but just thought I would let people know to be wary, just because something is on a roof doesn't mean it's safe, solar panels and batteries are probably another good target to be careful of.
