There was a car jacking recently - the car jackers ended up in my neighborhood on my quiet street where they abandoned the car and ran.
Cops went up and down the street asking neighbors if they had video surveillance. Seems like they might have wanted to catch the perps - and video surveillance footage sure would have helped.
About a year ago, a neighbor asked if I could review my security footage that shows her mailbox and driveway. She was missing a package that said it was delivered. We found where it was delivered, to her mailbox, but it was not USPS who put it in there. It was a third party delivery person. Well, the dunderhead delivery person should’ve brought it to her garage or front porch, but was too lazy. When the mailman came and saw a package in there that didn’t belong, he took it out and it went to the post office where they sent it back to the sender. So she called the sender, and this time instead of using a lesser known third party, they sent it UPS, and the package was delivered to her front door. It was such a hassle to my neighbor, but at least she eventually got her purchase. So security cameras catch more than criminals. They can help figure out what’s going on with package deliveries.
Last year, Holly Vedalla, a 59 year old colleague of a relative, was shot and murdered while driving along a country road.
Home security video captured the crime and the black drug dealer who did it was quickly caught because...racism, according to the author.
