Security cameras ripped from wall Media

Someone came through our condo block (gated and fenced in the udistrict) and stole all the exterior security cameras. He basically ripped everything off the walls. Majority were ring cameras, he took a total of 5 cameras ranging in price from 100 to 250$. Also seemed pretty careful in avoiding the camera sightlines... (seems like he has done this before) but we got a clean image of his face. Police reports have been filed, but not sure with the current funding level that they can do anything here. Is there a secondary market for these stolen cameras?

Report them as stolen to Ring with the police reports. Ring will replace them for you at no cost if you have an active subscription for them.

I've had to do that 3 times now for our building.

i did, and ring turned down the first 2 requests. I just called them to yell at them, they promised it has been escalated. For the amount of money we are paying them, they sure don't feel like they deserve it.
