I'm sorry to hear that Surfer, but don't think it's crazy that they only took the V1. There are groups that specifically target that exact model radar for theft. It fetches over $300 per unit in ebay even the 1st gen ones like you had.
I accidentally left mine in the window of my 95 M3 at the mall I used to manage at. I was working until late into the night and at 11pm when I came out, my driver's side window was smashed out and all my cd's, clothes, etc were all left untouched, but the V1 sure was stolen. I felt so violated of privacy after that and the damage to my window and paint was pretty bad. Note to self, don't ever forget to take it down again (I bought another one, they are great).
