Once they figure out there is something they can take off the flight deck they'll start seeking them out.
Just wondering why this would be an issue-
Hell, I'll leave my Company IPad out and in the cubby hole while I do a walk around or get a coffee (our coffee sucks! lol).
If it's gone when I get back.. Oh well. The Cockpit is suppose to be a secure location. If cleaners, or anyone else comes in and steals a piece of required equipment, ya call the cops and take the delay.
Plus, an IPad can actually be tracked. So the rocket scientist stealing company IPads will probably be caught fairly quickly and hopefully prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Just my opinion.
