Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam
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."
ZING!
There most certainly is something to see here: FREE PORN!

Haha.
Yeah, but if the guy who set up the webcam had actually been in the house and tried to stop the burglar, he'd be the one in jail, at least until recently.
It looks like someone hit Britain with a clue stick, finally. UK law lets homeowners kill intruders
Looks pretty straightforward to me.

Much as I hate it, burglarize is an accepted term in the US.
Right. We Americans all know the proper term is "burlgerificationized."
Don't blame me; I'm never given mod points.
OK, off-topic, but is there some other way of saying it?
Do you do this for other perfectly good verbs?
Do American thieves thieverize?
Do American rapists raperize?
Does American pirates indulge in piratisation?
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.

It's not even laugh worthy, it is just sad.
Yes.
His ass got straight ROBBED.

It's a good thing we're not British, 'cuz I'd send your ass to jail for that!
Is that from your one man show: "Winston Churchill, we hardly knew ye"?
Here's a newsflash. If drugs were legalized, they would still be potentially addictive, and still cost money. Sugar, coffee, and tobacco don't usually lead to behavior that causes one to lose their job. Alcohol, on the other hand, sometimes does, especially when the person becomes addicted.
I really can't see how legalizing drugs would keep people from 1) becoming addicted, 2) losing jobs because of their addiction, and 3) resorting to stealing because they can't find work.
