Florida Woman's Webcam Captures Robbers In the Act

by Tim Stevens on April 10, 2009 at 09:41 AM

Many pet owners find it hard to leave their loved ones at home when they head to the office, but offices can be uptight, and few make room for four-legged assistants. So, a growing number of owners are turning to webcams to keep track of their canine or feline companions, and one such owner caught something rather unexpected -- two burglars trying to make off with her flat screen TV, a safe, and other possessions.

The woman, Jeanne Thomas of Boynton Beach, Florida, was watching her two dogs laze around the house on Wednesday when a man appeared on the footage -- and then another. She immediately called 911 while watching the two men -- who were apparently unaware they were being filmed -- wander about the house. She waited while police officers stormed her home and caught the two suspects, Curtis Williams and Steven Morales, inside.

The police also apprehended some some nefarious cohorts in another home nearby. It was all recorded, including footage of the police entering the home weapons drawn, and it's all embedded above for your enjoyment (thanks to the police, who uploaded this video to YouTube). You'll definitely want to watch this one to the end. [From: The Smoking Gun, via Technically Incorrect/CNET]
