>People come up and take them as soon as we're more than 200m away. I don't have this problem where I surf, but here's some thoughts I've had about it... - Attach a motion alarm (made for purses and such) that will go off and at least attract attention if someone moves it. - Put a sign on it that says "Do not touch. My buddy is watching this camera." or "Due to recent theft, I have a HIDDEN camera recording this camera."

I wonder if you could put up a sign that says: "If you steal this camera you agree to pay a $200 fine" - just having a sign is a deterrent but not a strong one. Though, a better idea is to attach a speaker to it and when someone steals it blast vulgar sounds through it like "I'M A MOFO THIEF LOOK AT ME HAHA". I doubt any thief would want attention drawn to what they just did. I've been wanting to do a social experiment where I leave a laptop out with a GPS tracker and a note with my information and see what happens. My guess will be that many people will attempt to steal it.

  This sort of candid camera experiment has been done many times, there are many who will return the items and some who won't. If you truly don't want your things stolen then you just need a buddy to watch your stuff.
