From the tail lights and headlight shape I'd guess an older model Lincoln Navigator. Just a guess though, I'm no expert on vehicles.

Looking at some Google pictures it definitely looks like a Ford Freestyle. Features match up perfectly. Good spot @coney27
It should also stand out as it looks like it has a large white bumper sticker on the rear window @wtimothyholman

Yes, I noticed that sticker. I think you're right - this is a Ford Freestyle. I'm going to do some checking.
Its 100% a Ford Freestyle. I know my cars lol

Thanks very much for contributing your expertise. Unfortunately it won't help my neighbor, as I've been checking my LPR records and these guys haven't driven by my house so far as I can determine.
This is what happens when you trust your video security to ADT and their crappy cameras. I'm going to encourage my neighbor to upgrade; I know he can afford it.

As it turns out, one of the people the thieves hit was a state legislator. The police have already contacted me about the theft (apparently my cameras have gained a reputation at the local precinct). 
I've put out an Amazon "bait box" in plain view on my front porch. If these characters decide to drive down my street in the next few days, the police will be visiting them in short order.

It is interesting how thieves will quite often drive very distinctive vehicles. A Ford Freestyle isn't your typical car.

Ha! Nothing so dramatic. It contains a couple of dead D-cell batteries and an old rusted shut pair of pliers that I found one day. All I have to do is record them passing my house, and the rest will be history. They don't even have to take the package, but it would be helpful if they did, as I'll get some great images of one of them walking up on my porch.

Have no fear, I'll definitely post some video if they drive by. There's some speculation that they're following delivery trucks in my neighborhood, so it's just a matter of time.
