I've seen so many posts about theft and thieves I thought I'd share one that finally had a good ending. My shop has been broken into twice in the last 3 years. Our alarm install along with clearly marked alarm notices on the doors stopped the break-ins, however we still had problems outside. Two more thefts of items outside our shop led us to install cameras.
Yesterday I arrived at the shop to see some of my scrap wire strung across the driveway and knew we had been hit again. Fortunately I no longer keep anything of much value outside. Our thief was able to stay out of view and turn one of the cameras but missed the other. We were lucky that he had an older truck that was easy to identify. By the looks of the back of the truck it looks like he was out scrapping all night long.
Good news is the the sheriffs department located him and the truck this morning.
