Quoted: ^^^^ This. That's the #1 reason. Having an official paper trail is important. I definitely understand the desire to not look like a "Karen" who demands the PD call out the state crime lab for a missing garden gnome or whatever. However, like Aimless' story, you never know. Perhaps the guy is a potential suspect in a larger pattern of thefts, and the PD is actively out to get him. Or perhaps he's of interest for some more serious crime like assaulting a neighbor. On the chance the police are tracking this guy, maybe lockinload is the first to get him on video. Obviously, with Ring doorbells becoming common, having video is not as novel or juicy as it once was to police, but having actual evidence to give the DA to work with, so if they actually do catch him, he can be prosecuted more easily, that can still get their attention. And having a laid back attitude while being helpful as possible, and conveying to the police through what you say, and how you say it, that your expectations are low, "you know how it works", and are reporting the incident "just in case" etc. can go a very long way. You have to maximize your status as a non-drunk, non-high, non low-life who's full of lies and excuses that they've heard a million times before. And as someone who's in the nominal law-abiding people/victim category, you aren't belligerent or in "I pay your salary!"-mode. In the 22 years at my current residence, I've at least had the satisfaction of seeing people cuffed-n-stuffed for relatively minor things, in terms of what the police otherwise deal with by using this approach. I'm not advocating that anyone actually tastes the boot polish. I'm just suggesting that a strategic sniff of it might get you some retribution on the criminal. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted:Have them file a report. Usually they will take it over the phone for an incident like this. If the guy comes back again, maybe with friends intent on checking the inside of your house, you might have to clap someone. It would be advantageous to have a police report on file documenting prior incidents. It just makes the whole deal more justifiable from a legal perspective. It would take 10 minutes and could potentially save you a lot of time on the back end. ^^^^ This. That's the #1 reason. Having an official paper trail is important.

Or, it could be his third strike and enough to put him away long enough to give the neighbors a reprieve on their shit getting stolen for awhile. |

Quoted: As stated before, post pictures of the motherfucking thief for all to see. By trespassing, he lost any and all rights to privacy and you will be doing a civil service. Post them on your local FB and call LE showing them copies of the motherfucker (police report). He stole from you and that can’t be let go. Take out a section of the local paper with pictures. I would go scorched earth on the little ANTIFA fuck (yes I labeled him as such and I don’t give a fuck). I am a vengeful son of a bitch and I got to great lengths to fucking destroy such vermin! I made a fulfilling career out of putting cocksuckers like him in jail for 22 years and I encourage good folks to never let shit like this go. Remember, they are not human anymore. Just vermin. Happy hunting! View Quote We can be neighbors. |

Glass half full says you got a free skateboard.

Quoted: Ok, so my surveillance is a basic Lorex with 8 cameras. It does not have any Wifi capability and must be plugged into a ethernet cable to access the web. I am using WiFi for my internet and the server is in the club house where we had the dinner. Maybe a wireless router gets me hooked up to it but I'm not sure. Anyhow, the only way I can backup or copy footage is to be connected to the internet directly from the Lorex, at least to the best of my knowledge. It's all a mute point as I am moving in 2 months. That shed does not have much left in it and after today it won't have anything of value in it. Where we are moving, the likely hood of an event like this is pretty slim. 5 miles from a town or stop light. View Quote Not sure on Lorex but usually you can put in a USB key and record to that. On my HIKvision I can also do it from my smartphone. |

Quoted: He didn't give a fuck if he got caught or not. View Quote They don't care. On Ring in my area there are at least 3 videos posted a week where prowlers are checking cars. The police are powerless to do anything. The county prosecuting attorney is a piece of shit, catch and release is his motto. |

I'm trying to get a backup of the time frame but the file keeps saying the format is wrong. I've backed up in MP4 and
AVI and neither will play on my computer. If can get it I will post it on my Utube channel. |

Would your collection of historic rusty bear leg traps be safe in said garage? Plus your collection of live bald faced hornets ?? It would be a shame if those were potentially rooted through in the dark…

You mean that guy who pulled a knife on you when you confronted him after catching him on your property? Right?

You're not going after him because your here talking about it and creating a paper trail here. Call the cops and create that paper trail incase he shows back up.

Has it occurred to you to make a police report and have them lift prints off the skateboard? He did steal a gun after all, even if it was only a pellet gun.
I know that the Sheriff's Department of my County would be happy to clear a few cases on some dirtbag. |

Quoted: He'll be back when he thinks its safe. Give it a few days to a week. Maybe have the skateboard in sight :) I live in a part of my state where until 1-2 years ago, there was next to zero crime. Then everyone started moving here from all of the shit places in CA and magically, we ended up with people noticing shit missing and things stolen out of cars. That slowly progressed to hearing about people coming home to people in their house, people trying to break in....and we had our first drive by shooting a few months ago. I've been thinking of how I can probably catch those assholes who walk around the nicer neighborhoods at 3am and lift door handles, steal shit out of cars and garages. Not sure on the legality, but having a huge garage with multiple doors on it would make for easy bait by leaving one of them open at night as some people do on accident. I'd tie a rope to the emergency release cable for it, and sit on the far end of the garage in total darkness with my PVS31 on and my carbine. You couldn't see me unless you were 5 feet infront of me. They'd wander in, looking around at all this wonderful free shit to steal and then the garage door would magically drop down and make the garage pitch black. I can only imagine the level of pissing yourself that would give someone, followed by a voice from the corner of the garage telling you to get the fuck down while a red laser turns on. I have a camera inside the garage to record it all as proof they actually did come in. Thinking of this again, I need to see what the state law is on this lol View Quote You say why would I get them involved when no one knows that you are here except me and you. |

Quoted: I meant it was a mute point about getting my surveillance hooked to internet. Trust me, we are on high alert. The GF is quite proficient with a firearm. We have 4 dogs, two of which would tear into someone. No not taking this lightly. I think I am going to set up some trip wires to an alarm. To top it off we have 3 bears that are on the property quite a bit so maybe I can scare them off too. View Quote Where were the dogs when the skate rat came calling? Would think they should have alerted |
