When I was a junior in high school and computer lab monitor, I made a suggestion that we install VNC on every computer and it was green lit by the administration. We used an app that could view thumbnails of all screens at the same time. I only enforced the "no porn" rule. Kids could play games, browse the web and I accepted fake hall passes. But if they were watching porn they would be thrown out and banned.

Too bad you'll be missing a lot of the game experience this way, like the roar of the crowd and the banging of trashcans.

It should announce its presence on an interval too. What if someone camoflages the camera in some Christmas lights? What if you're blind?

Why not use that opportunity to arrange a "purchase"? Either identify the thief by surveillance (follow to their home e.g.) or attempt a retrieval via brute force (hired guard etc)? At least with the thief's identity it might be possible to pursue a legal way to get back the gear or be compensated.

>attempt a retrieval via brute force (hired guard etc)
This can be a very bad idea, especially if the seller isn't a thief but someone who unknowingly purchased the stolen property.

Sounds like a single point of failure if the pilots rely on ATC too much. Low visibility landings and such.

Or impersonate. One of my pilot friends was planning a trip across the CA Central Valley, and he reported with some bemusement that there was at active NOTAM (NOtice To Air Men) to be on guard about some guy in the Fresno area that was impersonating ATC. Apparently it had been happening for months and nothing much by way of investigation had taken place.
At this point I pretty much concluded that bad Part 15 devices or PG&E power line noise h0rk1ng over my ham radio reception was not going to get any attention, ever, if the FCC can't be bothered to find an ATC impersonator. I mean really, there are hams that do hidden transmitter hunts purely for sport. A posse of them could find that clown easily on any random Saturday morning and not be late for lunch.
You're assuming it would broadcast long enough to find the station, not a hit and run operation. And even if there was a constant signal, they could be using a repeater.

I think the way to do anything well is to reverse engineer what other people are doing well, find a pattern, break it into small bite size steps and then do it or get help with the step you can't do it on your own.
Always beats imagination or reinventing the wheel.
