Hopefully you gave the police the video! Go to the precinct in that area. Chances are one of the local cops will know the perp...

Very sorry this happened to you. It would be hard to get better quality video of a thief than you did, so I hope it actually ends up helping to catch these guys. But the cynical part of me is thinking: is the nose cone valued over the magic $950 amount now required to be considered a felony and have the cops do something?

Where is the rest of the video with the guys license plate as he either drove in, was leaving, or when you were parking. You should easily be able to read the license place from the offender's car (if he had one), which should lead the police right up to the guys front door. If you didn't save it, do it now before it gets overwritten with new footage.

Did he really want the nose cone or did he just want the two ultrasonic transducers and the license plate?
There was no plate. Yeah, maybe he wanted the sensors, but he took it all, and it's about $900 for me to get it replaced new.
Sorry to hear. Ease of nosecone removal for easy access to the battery charging posts now starting to be a liability. 
I’m thinking FB and/or news stations’ “On your side/Crimestoppers” segments will quickly identify the perp. It’s not your usual car break-in story so they’d be more apt to running the story.
I’m glad my BV is always watching/listening as well!

He works at Calabasas Mercedes perhaps or they surely know him. Is it not also required in California to have a temp tag. We sometimes drove cars, many in fact for dealers with no temp tag, it was assumed with the dealer advert tag, it was new and we could drive it for short periods, moving cars etc.
Or he works for a body shop that is working on the car he is driving form Calabasas Merc. and went looking for nose cone from your car to put on a car in that body shop. He was careful to tuck the wires in from the sensors after he was done, he just does not go around stealing nose cones without purpose and care to his mission.
None of it is worth tracking down at all. Lick your wounds and move along.
Dang, that's crazy. Sorry for your loss.
On a positive note, at least he didn't have clippers on him and just snip the wires to take the cone faster. Looks like he cleanly unplugged the sensors.

I think I'll explore how to PERMANENTLY mark the OUTSIDE of my 'cone. Maybe by etching some phrase on the front.
Please offer any suggestions. What would you etch on yours?
