It’s never good to steal stuff from people. It’s especially bad and stupid to steal from a popular YouTuber who knows how to use modern techmonologicamal equipment… like cameras and tracking devices.
I see no logical reason to not lay a legal smackdown on someone who steals that easily. Such a person has clearly stolen before, will do so again. They are a burden on society.
A suggestion for other tech-savvy types who think their stuff might be stolen: install tracking devices on something you’re reasonably sure will be stolen. That’s easy and obvious. But something else to add: a cell phone with a good loud speaker. A cell phone that you can call when the cops are nearby. A cell phone that will start screaming “help, help, I need the police.” Then all of a sudden you don’t need a search warrant and all the time that that takes.
