I\'m bummed out. I was robbed in broad daylight.

Sad news today... I went to work on my yard and couldn't find my blower.

I check my security camera and I found captured video of some dude
walking right right into my garage and STEALS it at NOONTIME!

I'm calling the police tommorrow... it's too late tonight.

I just glad my wife and kid are safe.

Here is the video and some stills:

Wow! Remind me not to steal anything from YOU, 4sevens!

What kind of camera/recorder system do you use, if I may ask. The detail looks pretty good ...

I am glad you and your loved ones are OK. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I hope that drug infested lowlife dirtbag scum sucking bottom feeding POS gets whats coming to him. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

EDIT: I am sorry for my rant but I have caught my share of thieves and after watching the excellent video of this punk...well my blood is still boiling.

Security cameras rock! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
That guy has a good chance of being caught imho. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
He looked stupid! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

4sevens, remember Ferris Bueller's Day off? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif
A large dog in the garage would have made short work of those white shorts and funny hairstyle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

Some apartment complexe landlords are now allowing large dogs for that reason. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

At least you didn't keep your flashlight collection in there. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

He won't if he doesn't want to take a chance on getting shot, stabbed, or mauled by a new family pet, now that you know what he looks like. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/str.gif
He probably doesn't want to personally know anyone he has screwed.
That's been my experience working as a security officer thus far. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Crooks have thier own deep, dark fears too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

4sevens, it's your place and your right to defend it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif
Ask the police what your rights are regarding that matter tomorrow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke2.gif

Post his picture prominently where everyone can see it. A bulletin board in a public place would be a nice place for a picture. Put a label on the picture that says the picture is posted on the Internet and put a link to the movie under his picture. I wonder if anyone would recognize him? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: I\'m bummed out. I was robbed in broad daylight

After thinking about it,
4-7's Go ahead and call the cops now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke2.gif
They may not be able to show up right away, but the sooner they see the video, the sooner they may discover some additional charges to file on this guy if they have caught him somewhere else tonight already.

Note the time on the video. It was 10 days ago.
8 more hours won't make a difference.

He sure wouldn't blend into a crowd. He looks like something from the Planet of the Apes. Hope they catch him/it.

Re: I\'m bummed out. I was robbed in broad daylight

I would ask all my neighbors if they have ever seen him. If not, I would plaster his picture all over the neighborhood with a title of "THEIEF", stop at the mall and do the same thing. I might put some sort of "ad" in the local paper.
Give pictures to everybody you know. Somebody will find him.

OIC.
I had thought the time was wrong like it is on my vcr. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

It may still make a difference imho.
What if they have the guy in custody now on a different charge and are letting him go in the morning?

Never too soon imho.

Up to you sir. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

Maybe they have some high tech software to enhance his license plate number. I tried but no luck.

Re: I\'m bummed out. I was robbed in broad daylight

Man, I hope they catch him and you recover your property.

Just by coincidence, a couple of days ago, some €~#@€ lowlife stole my bike from outside my apartment. It was locked (thick Kripto-cable), but they sliced right through it. The irony of it is that the night before I had walked around our complex distributing flyers warning residents of bike thefts in our area... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Wish I had a camera setup like yours!

I thought I might throw a word of caution about posting the pic of the crook in public. There *might* be some law or ordinance against it, and the strategy might backfire. Best to ask the police about it. I wouldn't wanna see you in trouble, regardless of how right you may be (there are some weird-a**ed rules out there). I mention that 'cuz we had a minor theft 'round here a couple of years ago, and we were strongly discouraged by the police to post flyers around the block.
