Gilrock Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So how did you get the license plate? I never saw it look like it came into clear view in the video. I've been thinking of looking into what it would take to record outside my house also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilrock Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 different camera angleLOL...I think you have more security cameras than my bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dito Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 the main reason we even got a security camera is because the kids LOVE to watch people watching our show! "turn on channel 1" they say. because that's the input for the CCTV. unfortunately this is not the first time. several years ago (before LOR) many Halloween decorations were stolen/broken. It's a pretty close neighborhood, in a "good" area. I just think (proven I guess) it's teenagers being stupid on Halloween and thinking nobody is watching. I was thinking of adding a "video surveillance" sign on the yard. any thoughts? some i've talked to say it brings BAD attention, creating shooting targets for the cameras.

Gilrock Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think it's much more fun to let them find out about the cameras when the police show up. I can't stand vandalism and theft. I would be willing to let my stuff get some damage if it catches the vandals as opposed to scaring them away with signs and they move onto the next victim.

LORisAwesome Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Good for you, It's about time someone caught one of these scrooges. I hope he has to pay for any damages.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dito Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 thankfully, there was no "damage". the sign has some tire marks on it now, but no big deal, i'll just have to scrub for a few minutes. according the the police officer, the kid was scared/surprised and was denying until he said "we have you on surveillance", then the kid confessed. we'll see if things stay calm from now on...

n_gifford Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 We were all kids at one point doing stupid things. Good points: No substantial damage, no injuries, and he got caught. With any luck, it makes him think twice about it next time. I would be pissed if someone did it to me, but after calming down I doubt I would press charges. Actually, after I calmed down, I would probably laugh and call it karma...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these days of social media these kids should be reminded that this stuff captured, tweeted, facebooked, etc never goes away. It could affect their lives forever. "Year 2019: Oh Johnny, i see here in this online police report you vandalized some property. We won't be selecting you for your dream job afterall". Not that i did anything bad but thank goodness there were no camera phones and GPS back when i was 18! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
