It's so annoying when this happens!!!!   As I daren't leave anything on the plot it would take me up to an hour to load everything into the car, sometimes for only half an hour visit.   In the end I felt it wasn't worth the effort so I gave up my plot and moved all my cultivation to my garden.   

So far, nothing's gone missing from my garden but last year some little grotbag stole the brussels from my parent's garden, even though they're pensioners and on a limited budget!!!!

You need detection methods, i.e. smartwater and cctv

Our site is quite secure. Only once have we had some vandalism, and they have never nicked any veg as far as I am aware. Yet our site is pretty much off the beaten track, on the edge of a big park of open ground, although it does have houses near the entrance.
Either a webcam or a stakeout seems like the only solution! the things being  nicked do sound like they are being transferred to someone's own plot.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
