I am very impressed with your camera set-up. He kindly left his paw-prints on the door frame, though I doubt the police will bother coming out to dust.
Brazen and thorough. Hope they get him.
I fitted the cameras after a series of things going missing.
The pikeys once took the steel gates off their hinges and had those away.
Then I put a packed up washing machine by my garage door which I was going to turn the drum into a fire pit. No, nicked!!
The scrap collectors can have stuff I don't want, but they shouldn't walk 20m down my drive and just take it.
That's when I fitted the cameras.
Hopefully, they will prove worthwhile in catching this dick!
I was cooking at 6:30 yesterday. My wife could have opened the door to chuck stuff in the wheely bin at that time.
She is shaken up by the video I put up. Imaging if she'd opened the door to find a stranger rifling through the car!
That kind of thing can scare people for life.
I'm real angry about this!
Who does he think he is to come into my personal space and take what he wants.
No doubt if he does get caught he'll just have a slapped wrist.
I frequent a VW Transporter forum. A guy on there had his front bumper stolen from his van in broad daylight in a go outdoors car park.

His dashcam clicked in with the banging around.
The thief was found through social media and arrested.
At court his punishment was to have his current community supervision order revoked, and a new 12 month one given instead.
No custodial even though he'd been up to this behavior for years with a string of convictions!
I also had a motorbike stolen. The thief who took it said he had stopped someone else getting away with it, and was returning it to me. I attended court to say "NO, he was not returning the bike" and the court decided that there may be some truth in it so acquitted him!
WTF!!
Sorry for the rant, but cut off a finger every time they get caught and they'd soon get the message. Oh wait, that won't work as they'll then claim incapacity benefit and we'll all be paying for them forever!
I'm very impressed with the camera set up, I used to frequently forget to lock my car and in the summer my neighbour leaves the roof down on his Maserati grand cabrios over night, out the front. I leave the roof down on my golf all day if I'm not going anywhere so we're very lucky where we are. The last place I lived you were lucky every morning you came out with your windows intact
The cameras are great. They are IP ones and I can monitor them, playback etc from anywhere I can get data. Last holiday I was abroad checking the weather at home through them using my phone
The last time I used the Fiat was Friday. I most probably came in laden down with all sorts, and then just forgot to lock it.
I suppose I should count myself lucky. I once couldn't find the Caravelle keys. After searching for 20 mins I found them in the ignition from 2 days ago! My friend was not so lucky. He's a carpenter, had a brand new £25k Transporter, went back inside a house to get some more of his tools after he had been loading, came out, van gone. The insurers wouldn't pay up as he'd left the keys in it. He's still paying for that van 3 years on.
Lesson learned
