An underwater observatory inexplicably went missing from the bottom of a bay...

The Boknis Eck Observatory might've been "forcibly removed" from a bay in Germany, the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel said.
Data transmission from the underwater sensors suddenly cut out one night in August, GEOMAR said. When divers went to investigate at the observatory site, they found nothing but a shredded cable that once anchored it.
The observatory, planted in Kiel's Eckernförde Bay in 2016, consists of two "desk-sized" racks: One acts as a power source, tethered to the coast by a cable, and the other contains the sensors that transmit data back to shore. Both were missing when divers went to investigate...
The observatory costs around $330,000... Its sensors measure the sea's salinity, concentrations of methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide and temperature.

Sounds like the opening credits of a 1950’s SF movie.

Worked in oceanography for some time.
If you can’t afford to loose it, don’t put it in the ocean.

Stolen by the Russians, undoubtedly. That Russian nuke sub that sank specialized in ops like this.

What did they expect leaving something laying around on the seabed?

I can not tell a lie.
I took it. It is in the pond in my back yard.

Someone dragging anchor?
More likely commercial fishermen dragging a trawl net

Could be someone fishing for scrap metal with a electromagnet.
