Dejavu (i think that's misspelled).  I was always under the impression that pilots and others associated with aviation weren't thieves.  I had this same thing happen with my ICOM A23 as well, but mine was worse as it was airport related.  My brother got out of my plane with my A23 in his bag (he had unplugged my headset to plug his set in, and I keep my other set plugged into the adapter to the ICOM for a backup).  They called over the unicom and said that he could leave it there and my wife could come pick it up.  Well, my wife came to get it and they could produce my headsets but not the radio, and had a "tough sh*t" attitude about it.  I've never taken anyone to court in my life, and detest the suing kind, but I was so pissed off about this that I went down to the local magistrate and filed a small claims suit against the FBO.  Well, wouldn't ya know the day they received the summons, they called and it had mysteriously reappeared and "must have fallen behind a desk".  Amazing how my headsets which were plugged into it didn't fall with it.  Also amazing was how it tuned itself to their unicom freq.  I hope your outcome is as good as mine (although I did have to fork over 50 bucks to file).  One thing though, if they ever decide to get a website, I bought their dot com name.  Bwah ha!
