Terrible to see something so brazen in daylight and on my street to boot.

Hope this individual is identified and charged.

Keep your houses locked and security system armed (if you have one).

I like how everyone has cameras now. Are these just set up through your security system? Any recommendations on how to set them up?

camera systems are relatively cheap and can be purchased at Lowes and Home Depot for a little over 100 bucks

I See You! Eventually burglars will get the notice that more and more people are using cameras and they will be caught! We ain’t gonna take it any more! 🙂

What kind of lock did you have on there? I’m impressed they were deterred and didn’t gain entry.

He was also caught in the backyards of two or three other homes on this block…so I’ve been told.

I live on this block and my dog would be none too pleased to see a stranger walk into the house.

I have dogs as well and neither welcome uninvited visitors in my yard or house. I had someone come into my back yard uninvited once and my male pinned him to the fence. The guy had no business coming into my yard but it was a traumatic event nonetheless. I don’t ever want to be in a situation again where my dog pins someone to a fence. I am not completely sure of the legal ramifications. It’s a lot of responsibility to have a dog that is protective.
