Burglars may have gotten more than they bargained for when they targeted a home in Wisconsin last week.
The two men snatched thousands of dollars worth of tools from the house in Milwaukee. They apparently also unwittingly grabbed a security camera that continued to transmit from their kitchen table.
The security camera captured the moment two thieves early last Monday stole that camera along with tools from a home being rehabbed. The real estate broker saw the whole thing.
"Somebody picked up the camera and said what is this? And then they bagged it, not knowing that it's still active," said Realtor Erica Winship, of Premier Point Realty.
Because the house was vacant, after the burglars kicked the front door open here they spent some time inside. But it's what happened later that could lead to their arrest.
"They took around $8,000 in tools. They also took a camera, which was hidden, which they did not know would operate pretty much anywhere, so it's operating on their dining table right now. We can see everything," Winship said.
She shared a video recorded Monday, a week after the burglary, still in the home of the burglar.
"We're seeing people doing drugs. We're seeing people talk about how they sold the stuff, where the money went," she added.
Winship said she can only assume they don't realize the camera is still transmitting.
"They may or may not, but I don't think they really care. It's really disheartening when someone works hard to rev up a house to make sure it's occupiable and lovely for someone to live and someone just comes through and destroys that," Winship said.
The battery-operated camera uses the cellular network, and as of Monday night, was still transmitting nearly eight days after it was stolen.
Milwaukee police told sister station WISN they're continuing to investigate but have made no arrests.
Jeez, I hate it when that happens. Ruins your whole day
The po-po have no desire to do anything at all about this crime.
The pathetic footnote after all that:
“Milwaukee police told sister station WISN they’re continuing to investigate but have made no arrests.”
“The battery-operated camera uses the cellular network, and as of Monday night, was still transmitting nearly eight days after it was stolen.”
Must have one heck of a battery.
SMILE, you’re on Candid Camera….
Yep. Hardly any work to get the tower it’s connected to. From there send an unmarked car with radio and listen to the cam to pinpoint. 30 minutes tops. If they wanted to solve it.
The internet of things.
Remember people, when seconds count, the fat-ass cops are only 8 days away.
ROTFL! Those wacky Black Thieves Matter boyz. Geez. The are dumb.
Oh! Look! Another blak criminal! (Yawn)
Or maybe they are taking info for further arrests. Seems like this can be recorded and used against who ever comes in the house and talks about a crime or does drugs.
I hope so.
Now someone will call them up.
“Hey bro, you’re live on youtube. 20 million views. Not bad”
This is hilarious! You can’t tell me these idiots have an IQ higher than a half-wit chimp!
Now here is an idea for a movie that would make gazillions. Hunter Biden’s 2nd laptop travels the world collecting $$$ for the Biden Crime Family. The camera and microphone are left on, and the laptop is solar powered, so it never runs out of energy. Imagine all the mansions and dives, the royalty, the bordellos (the STD clinics), and so much more!
Yeah. I want to know the make and model of the camera. Put a GPS tag in it and the real fun could begin.
What make and brand is such a camera ?
