Bicycle thieves

[bigredfish]

I notice a number of bicycle thieves/druggies passing by the entrance to our little cul-de-sac each night. Often heading south early and returning north later in the morning before sunrise...

This one even had what looks like a stolen camera! (go full screen)

This one turns the corner to check out the street for nighttime activities and stares strait at a sign that says:
Neighborhood under video surveillance... before eyeballing the PTZ following him

Yep, because if they steal the camera, they got the footage right

Looks like your sign and cameras got the other one to leave without trying.

You have the coolest cam ever

Nah, but it is a good people watching location

100% chance you stopped some break-ins and thefts imho on that last one.

I saw on the News that Orlando was the #1 city that people across the country are moving too. I am sure there are a bunch of scumbags riding that statistic also, just like around here. Good cam shots.

Yeah they’re flooding in but more problematic are the “out of work” druggies and homeless. They used to stay well to our south but this year began to branch out in search of more free shit.

We’ve been lucky, we live right close to the demarcation line where OCSO draws the unofficial line for tolerating that shit and they respond very quickly. The ptz along with the signs help with deterrence, and I think the word has got around that our little street has a bunch of conservative gun owners who keep a watchful eye out and aren’t afraid to mix it up with them if need be. A number of us will confront suspicious cars, I like to pull right up behind them with the high beams on and just grin. Most decide to move along.

We haven’t had a break in or car theft to speak of this year but neighborhoods just to our south see plenty.
