Passenger side foglight shrouds being stolen??

Odd question everyone, has anyone noticed lately people stealing specifically passanger side foglight shrouds? Like the black cover over the foglight. My dad was up at the hospital, drove his crosstrek up with my mom, they get out and its still there. No less than two hours later they come out to find it missing. Normally I'd think, "Ok, they're older, maybe dad knocked it off driving and didn't notice.

But then, less than a week later, I park my crosstrek in a Big Lots parking lot, when I drove in the people picking me up all very visibly saw the front of my car and it was there. We even meandered in the parking lot a bit. Then I get back there not 4 hours later, and it's gone. Passenger side too.

Is this a trend or something I'm not privy to? Is this like the duck thing for Jeep people? Or do you suppose we both got hit with extraordinary bad luck? We live in a Very rural area so there's not a ton of crosstreks, maybe two people happened to need passanger shrouds. But it just seems incredibly unlikely so close to eachother. Zip tied the new one on just in case lol. Any thoughts? Anyone else missing theirs?
