Do thieves case hotels off the interstate on a regular basis?

Yes. Scumbags are everywhere..

I knew a guy who raced a blown gasser with a flip up front clip. Blew a trailer tire on the way home. Afternoon, broad daylight, less than 100 yards from a gas station. He decided to hoof it over there to call a tow. By the time he made it back the car had been stripped of the intake and everything up from there (blower included), took the fire extinguisher, slicks, flip front end and unbolted his tool boxes from his truck and made off with those and their entire contents too. Couldn't have been more than 20 mins and on the side of a busy highway (I5 in Northern CA, of course) to boot!
