Not strictly on topic, but interesting none the less..
Many years ago a 'liferaft' was stolen from a boatshow stand. Owner of said raft was understandably upset, and considerably concerned. The 'liferaft' in question was in fact a display model consisting of a standard valise (cover) stuffed with a collection of old newspaper and a couple of house-bricks to weight it down.
I did hear a story that it subsequently turned up at a service centre though I’m not sure if I believe it…..
It's not nice to think about what could have happened.

Possibly. Being there has been no prosecution and it is not a public offence it would breach DPA (Data Protection Act).
Also being that it is my home airfield I don't want to go burning bridges, and I am 100% sure the Op's guys will realease any data the police request.

Sorry to hear about this, matey.
Being a victim (got the tee shirt) of theft or burglary (which this is most definitely NOT, S.9(1)(a) Theft Act 1968 already having been quoted) is not pleasant and can be quite stressful as well as bloody inconvenient.
The aviation community is relatively small but like any cross section of society it has its share of complete tossers, either directly involved or walting around on the periphery; however, word does tend to get around quickly and if you publish your unfortunate mishap on as many forums as possible the chances are that eventually the toerag responsible or someone who knows the tawt will read about it.
I would also publish it on some boating forums and even look in the boating classifieds - as a rule liferafts tend to be of more use to the fish-heads.
I don't suppose you have a photo?
