Yes Mike, there are savage oxygen bandits out there !! I did buy it from you I'm pretty certain but wouldn't have a clue which order it was in, I checked my config backup and it only has the software ID listed in it and not a serial number. I have pretty much written it off anyway but want to try and protect the install from it happening again or at least getting some evidence before it's gone to help try and identify the scumbags. A friend of mine who runs a security company was telling me that the police had a couple of $15k CCTV cameras stolen a week after they were installed, he is now going to install mini GPS trackers inside the cameras so that they can track them when they get stolen rather than lose them altogether, a cheap GPS tracker and 3G sim is all that's needed apparently and the battery in the GPS lasts for quite a few hours.

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.
