Caught two black males trying to break into my mom's house yesterday (16 year old kids). Thankfully I checked my mom's cameras, asked them what they're doing (which made them run), and called the cops; who managed to catch them a couple of streets over. My mom wasn't home at the time and I caught them on camera before they could do any damage/steal anything. They were trying to duck away from the cameras and hide their faces, one kid was wearing a hoody in 96° temps at 3PM outside and they tried every door handle they could find to see if anything was unlocked.
I filed trespassing charges on them after finding out they tried to get into my neighbors house (across the street, their cameras caught them as well) and they lied to the cops saying they were meeting up with a girl and she gave them the wrong address. I'm not holding my breath that they'll be convicted of anything at this point, but if they try to break into someone else's house, at least they'll already be in the system as repeat offenders.
So I've got another camera on order to cover a massive blind spot at my mom's property, we're not going to leave garage doors unlocked anymore and I've got automatic gate opener on the way for her one gate they got through (it's always unlocked).
