If it's done correctly, such devices could be the stupidest thing you could try to steal.

For instance, it could buffer constantly (if it doesn't already, I'm not too sure) the last 5 or 10 seconds of video. If it detects the device has been snatched this buffer is instantly dumped to the paired smartphone (and from there possibly to the cloud).
