I am very concerned about people purloining the safety vest.

If the vest is not there, what would I do in the event of a water landing?

Have there been any reports of individuals who make off only with the vest's whistle? This, too, would be troubling: after the water landing, when I would be floating on the high seas with the aid of my vest, the lack of a whistle might render me unable to summon help.
