I can understand why there aren't any "U-Pick" mango or avocado operations.  Too many idiots.

Yup.

I second what Fiddler says. If you know who's doing it, you''re much more likely to be able to do something about it. Trail cameras cost about $80 and work very well.
If it makes you feel better....i heard misery loves company....i had a thief takes bout 200 pounds of durians when they were still green. Could have sold them for $5 a pound. So about $1000 wasted.  :'(  Got photos, driver's license, even the name of the guy and the police is "still working on it" after several months. So don't expect police to do much about it. At least they don't care much about ag theft here.

Yeah, it's kinda like that here too. The prosecutor's office admitted to me that the thief was not being questioned in my case because all officers were busy with a case of a police officer being shot at. Maybe they will get to my case in about 2 years!  :o

...and then they snatch your pretty metal signs too! Make sure to hide those trail cams well.
