A few days later, the woman discovered that movies were being watched on her Netflix account, which was linked to the stolen TV and Blu-ray, according to the sheriff's office.

This is the equal of my arriving at my apartment some years ago and finding an urban outdoorsman trying to jimmy my door open. I think he was a bit surprised to find my handgun screwed into his ear.

If she had a smart TV, she wouldn’t need a Blu-Ray player with wi-fi to get Netflix.

As we always maintained, the best assistance we always had in catching criminals was their stupidity. Had many a “gee let me talk to my buddy in the cell about what I did” cases.

Isn’t proper protocol to be outside his range when you are holding a gun on someone?

If she had a smart tv, it still would have been stolen.

Some Blu-Ray players have more apps than the smart TV. I have both and find each has certain advantages. Even my old Wi will do Netflix and Amazon. But I didn’t lay out a lot of money for any of the “extras”.
