It is where the consecrated host resides between masses

It's where the Blessed Sacrament is kept when a Mass is not going on.

It is a very substantial, large cabinet, fastened either in the center of the High Altar or sometimes to one side of the altar on a pedestal. Usually adorned with gold leaf, lapis, etc.

This is our Tabernacle:

If somebody steals a tabernacle, they have to rip it off the altar or the pedestal. That usually requires large tools, etc.

I would probably cheer if Our Lord surprised them with what happened to Uzzah when he touched the Ark. But then I would have to go to Confession . . .

It is the Body of Christ represented by Bread consecrated in the Holy Mass.

This is the Sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper.

Dark forces are known to steal the Host (bread wafers) and desecrate it in their “Black Massees”. The pro-abortion protestors are threatening to burn the Host in a public. setting. Obviously that is a highly offensive, inflammatory and Satanic thing to do.
