The invention relates to a theft protection device for a camera unit () that is arranged on a movable protection element () of a motor vehicle, said camera unit () being used to detect images of the outer area (). The protection element () can be moved between a closed position () and an open position (). In the closed position (), the camera unit () is in the idle position () and in the open position (), the camera unit () is in the operational position (). The protection element () comprises a receiving unit () for the camera unit () on the inner side, the side of the protection element () facing away from the outer area (), a safety element () being arranged on the receiving element () which safety element reliably maintains the camera unit () in the receiving element (). At least one securing means () secures the safety element () to the inner side of the protection element (), and the securing means () is arranged at such a distance from the protection element () that the securing means () cannot be tampered with when the protection element () is in the open position ().
