How are Ring doorbells not stolen?

How Ring doorbells are not stolen relies on design, mounting, and deterrence rather than being theft proof, as they can be stolen but are made difficult to steal quickly. Ring doorbells are mounted with security screws that require special star shaped screwdriver included in box, making it harder for thief to remove with regular tools, though determined thief can still pry it off. Most Ring models have theft deterrence feature, if device is stolen, owner can report theft to Ring and Ring will replace device for free with police report, which reduces incentive to steal. Additionally, Ring doorbells record motion before being removed, so thief's face is often captured and uploaded to cloud before device is disconnected, and video remains in cloud even if device stolen. Ring also has mount with wedge and corner kits that make prying harder. Many owners hardwire doorbell, making removal more difficult. Despite these, thefts do occur, especially of battery models that are easier to detach. To prevent theft, mount high enough to be hard to reach, use hardwired version, ensure strong WiFi so video uploads quickly, enable motion alerts, and use security screws tight. Neighborhood deterrence also helps, visible camera often deters.
