Criminals are using these to deactivate security cameras in order to rob homes and steal cars.
Yep, they are popular with criminals. My sister was at home alone when a guy jammed their Ring system and tried to get in the back door. The door was locked and he moved on. He was just trying to find an easy score, didn’t break windows, etc.
She got pinged on her iPhone and got a glimpse of the guy as he walked up to the backdoor before her system froze. Called the cops and came down the stairs with her .38. She said ‘if he had known about my redneck upbringing, he wouldn’t have tried to get in’.
