Going Away This Holiday Weekend? Hide Your Stuff

Caught on camera: Jet Ski stolen in broad daylight from Amityville driveway. (Oh, the horror!)

A bold thief made off with a $25,000 Jet Ski in broad daylight Wednesday, and the crime was caught on doorbell camera.

Chris Montalbano, the homeowner and victim, said he was stunned by how quickly and confidently the theft unfolded. “Pretty brazen, didn’t seem like they cared,” Montalbano said. “I believe it was a guy — had his hood on. Just real quick. They knew what they were doing.” 

Montalbano noted that the surveillance cameras mounted above his garage mysteriously went dark during the theft. He suspects the thief may have used a signal-jamming device to disable the system. more

This is not an isolated incident. There have been many stories recently about thefts and break-ins being aided by the jamming of wireless security cameras. If you are going away consider placing several covert cameras, with internal video storage within your home and looking outside from windows. They are inexpensive. Some are listed here.
