Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday February 17, 2005 @03:09AM from the watch-what-you're-doing dept.

Metatron writes "The BBC is reporting about a serial burlgar caught after images recorded by a webcam were automatically emailed to an outside server. The evidence was made available to the police even though the computer itself had been stolen! This is also discussed on the victims own web site and the local newspaper in Cambridge." From the article: "I was relieved it did what I'd intended it to when I was burgled again. It was nice to catch him in the act - but it didn't stop him from stealing my things."

Did you read the article? BTW, he was out on bail during this little excursion. Only theft? What if the owner was home at the time? What if the wife (if there was one) of the owner was home at the time -- alone?

Bleeding heart liberals need to be victimized more often...they are clueless.

And yes, white collar criminals get off too easily too.
