[QUOTE="FredNOk, post: 2688428, member: 35627"] Setting up some vid surveillance would be a very good idea. I did exactly that back in 2000. Here's the story: I came home from work at 3:20 AM like always and I thought something was odd. Some of my belongings were moved around in my house that I knew I did not leave them where I found them when I got home. Nothing was missing, just moved. I switched out the locks on both doors just to make sure no one else had a key. My house used to be like grand central station when I was younger, so there was no telling who had access. Being the worry wart that I am, I also bought a wireless video camera and attached it to my neighbor's house across the street. 3 days after, while I was at work, 3 boys (in Ocean Pacific hoodies no less) were caught on camera on my front porch and 2 of them kicked in my front door when they couldn't get in using what ever it was they tried first. They went into my house and came out with a VCR, 2 gaming consoles, about 20 video games, and my game chair and they left the front door wide open. I live on a busy street and my best friend had driven by just 30 minutes before and all was fine, (we watch out for those we care about around Duncan. That's just the way Duncanites are I guess) but on his way home, he saw that the door was wide open. He called me up on the phone at work and said I'd been robbed, so he stayed at my house until I could get off work and he even fixed the door for me so it would shut and lock again. It turns out that the video tape that had recorded the whole incident was laying in the floor. The kids popped it out of the VCR before snatching it. The cops took it as evidence. I was notified 2 days after, that these kids were caught breaking in to another house down the road by the owner, who almost shot one of them. They admitted breaking in to my house, but only after seeing the video footage. Their parents paid to replace my door and the whole frame and for the theft of my stuff that I didn't get back.
