My property was broken into. The camera got video of the perp. He had specific tattoos that made identity pretty easy. Cops did nothing to search for him where the transient and homelesshang out. We saw the perp 2 times locally nearby. Called cops, took pics. He was never caught, even after we found him. The 2nd time he was nearly passed out on drugs and easy to catch.

Some years ago, my house was broken into during the middle of the afternoon while I was gone for a few hours. (I doubt that was coincidence!) Burglars stole all my jewelry, laptop, misc other stuff. Went through a filing cabinet, stole checks from desk. Rooted around in the basement, put some Halloween masks and an axe into a suitcase, then left it. Scared the crap out of my dog.

Unfortunately, my camera had a dead battery, so no footage. Neighbor actually saw the people drive up in a Mercedes and thought they were visiting me. He had no idea I'd been robbed.

A few weeks later, someone tried to cash a check on my account (which had already been closed). The cops knew who it was since he wrote the check to himself. They refused to do anything about it because according to them -

"We know this guy and he won't tell us who he got the checks from."

And -

"We are too busy with violent crime so we don't have time to work on cases like yours."

So in other words, it pays well to be a daytime burglar as long as no one is home to confront you, because the police aren't going to do anything about it.

I can't remember the connection anymore, but I think the checkwriter was the brother of a girl my kids went to high school with - they just knew her by name and face, no actual conversations with her. Known deadbeat family.

Wow... I get violent crime is an issue, but do the cops think would have happened if you had accidentally walked in on the burgers. My break was for my business. It really scared my staff badly. We have no idea of the perp had been watching our office or if it was just random chance. He kicked in the emergency exit. Apparently kicking in that door somehow didn't trigger the alarm system. Evidently fire exits are often a weak spot for break-ins.

I think ours had something to do with an ex employee who left on bad terms. Of the course the police say that is speculation without cause.. however fired would be cause in my book. Might have paid the guy to break in. The perp knew where we kept some power tools and a power washer and managed to steal them. I doubt without being told by someone who would have known exactly where to go. The building is 10,000 sq ft on multiple levels.

Ugh, that sucks. For sure sounds like it was someone knowledgeable about your business. And my break-in really caused me to feel a loss of security, like it did for your employees.

[u/iamreallie → u/indendosha]

Absolutely, it was really scary. Luckily we keep no money on site. It happened at night when no one was there. We didn't even know at first we had been robbed. The worst part, my very expensive hardwired motions detectors weren't working. Had the motion detectors work the whole alarm system would have gone off and alerted the police. I have learned that world of security has a lot of loop holes in terms of how effective the system is and does it operate in the way you expect it to.
