The crate was sitting inside the Autoshop Enclosure at Venice High. It was within the autoshop fence, in turn within the Venice High compound. The crate was broken into with a crowbar. We didn't find anything missing except our control panel. We suspect currently that it is the work of a group of vandals who, earlier this season, broke into a storage bin in the same autoshop yard.

There is no reason to believe that this group has any affiliation in any way with any team or the competition, however since the Operator Interface is most valued among robotics teams, our team felt that it would be wise to post it's loss here.

In the future we will make sure to make permanent identifying marks on all our important equipment, thank you for the suggestion Jay.

Thank you everyone.
