B727 aircraft. During flight crew change, new flight crew discovered emergency medical kit missing from aircraft. Because during very cold WX they are sometimes removed by maintenance to prevent freezing, maintenance may have failed to put one back on aircraft. Or, it could have been stolen.

Narrative:
After landing, advised that emergency medical kit was missing. So did not notice it missing prior to departure. During severe winter operations, kit is routinely removed by station personnel to avoid freezing, with no cockpit notification. Also, they are occasionally stolen. It might have been removed and not replaced without being noticed, or 'removed' (stolen) after preflight.
