I think that's true. Because before social media, I didn't really hear or read of it. But it definitely pisses me off though, like what type of person would steal bands gear and put their way of making a living in jeopardy, other than to get money from the gear they take.

Easily more aware of their locations, perhaps.
There are bands out there that having really expensive gear. In general, gear isn't cheap to begin with, even the cheap gear is expensive. So a thief could really get a lot of money by selling it, but in general these people are caught and most or all gear returned, that's of course the good outcome.
