I think that I am dealing with very unsophisticated thieves here.  If they
were so smart, they'd a already had the bus :( :)

I have talked to some other bus owners with similar problems, and they have
a good idea who it is, its just hard to prove it or catch them at it.
There are a lot of young guys (16-21 +/-) that are getting into the bus
scene and have no cash or scruples, and have no qualms about swiping a
bus for the cool parts and then dumping it in the river.  Its happened a 
few times already.  They especially seem to love safari windows.
