Sounds like a product idea to me. :)

Sugar-cube camera, with IRLEDS, and some RG-174 off to the storage box. Let
them find the camera, but the storage box should be located somewhere hard
to get to. Many bolts, long threads, different sizes, major PITA to dismount.

You could use RF to send the picture somewhere, but that only works when
you're at home, or at work. Plus the antenna becomes a vulnerable
point.  Storing to flash, in a 1/4 inch steel case sounds like a better
proposition. Something that's not attackable by hammer, or chemicals in a
short time. Also, think about a stun-gun applied to the wiring.

If you store enough frames, then you're bound to get a couple useful ones.
