This past holiday, thieves stole packages off doorsteps and porches at an astounding rate.
The media called the thieves “Grinches,” but that only likened them to a cartoon character that actually had a heart.
The real thieves, who completely ruined the holidays for so many hardworking people, had no hearts at all.
Individuals lost money they specifically put aside for the holiday, special items they selected for loved ones, and hundreds of dollars.Homeowners Videotaped ThievesThere was, however, some positive news.
Various homeowners had previously installed Wireless Outdoor Home Monitoring Cameras that videotaped the goings on around their homes and where their packages were left.
Many had a feature that cued the camera to turn on when it detected motion, so when the thieves stepped onto to porch and/or steps, recording began.These homeowners caught full, facial shots of the thieves, which they provided to police and also posted online and on social media.
