Please consider submitting your evidence of theft or best evidence of suspicious behavior (bringing home, buying, selling, or trading of suspected stolen goods) through the form below. Liquor, patio umbrellas, televisions, a standard gas-powered lawnmower, a manual lawnmower, garden equipment, bicycles, furniture, possibly a pressure washer or wet vacuum or sprayer of some kind, perhaps a guitar amplifier, landscaping materials like giant bricks, figurines (Santa type) collector dolls ("one for each country" was offered to me for purchase years ago, but I did not have any interest), and concrete bird baths are some of the suspicious items I've seen and heard discussed. I am most interested in the hardened and potential criminals who don't care that they're on camera and continue a life of crime or suspected crime regardless of the consequences (e.g., jail time). Since installing my cameras and since his two arrests, most of the friends of the man photographed in this post (30-50 of them?) have stopped coming around (making clear with body language and words then their disappearance that they hate cameras), and I'm hoping that my cameras and his arrests have helped to convince them to give up the shady behavior altogether. But the main man photographed here (labeled Suspect #1 in case you have evidence of theft that matches his location, attire, and items seen on other cameras like mine) has continued in smaller and smaller amounts with each penalty. This format is also probably only useful for catching suspected thieves if their home location is known. I know where my neighbor lives, and I see suspicious activity; I just don't have any theft on camera. Acts of theft seen on the cameras of businesses or residences that match his activities, attire, time and place, etc. (if such acts took place) would make his location helpful. Please also know that I will not post everything submitted as time and more are limited. And I don't know the limits of this blog format (e.g., the maximum number of categories for neighborhoods, zip codes, objects stolen, and other key words for helping the public find corroborating videos that match their own experience). In addition to submitting your own evidence, you can browse the Archives by date or the Categories in the right column for keywords. And you can search for keywords like 'red bicycle', 'television', 'male suspect', 'reflective wheels', 'ankle socks', 'Nike shoes', and 'male thief caught on camera', for videos and photographs that correspond to the evidence from your own cameras.

A problem that I was unaware of and that much of the public may be unaware of is that the evidence suggests that there is a network of customers who buy stolen goods from the homeless and other thieves--some of whom have nice cars and clothes, are young, beautiful, healthy, and energetic so appear that they could and should be working instead of entertaining themselves with crime. The customers may just want a bargain, or perhaps they think they're helping to improve the lives of the people who are bringing them stolen goods. But the truth is that they are creating the "demand"--a market--that is hurting everyone. They're encouraging people to ruin their lives with a life of crime (oftentimes including drug use and/or dealing), they're risking jail themselves, they're hurting businesses, and they're hurting everyone else with the inflation that comes from hurting businesses. If they really want to help the supremely poor, they should be aiding responsibility (building skills, working hard and honestly, etc.). The Bible gives great advice on this subject, too, which is to make enough money through good honest work to *give* to those with true need (and integrity). That way we don't encourage bad behavior by paying others to participate in it. We strengthen the hands of the poor the right way. This advice also encourages us to think of the many with true need (some don't even have safe drinking water) before we spend our money on countless entertainments. And that reminds me to say that I don't even like televisions and some of the other items that thieves like to steal. In fact, I abhor televisions and haven't owned one in about 12 years. So, it's not so much that I care that people lost their televisions but more the principle of the matter: theft is abominable. A second problem is that it can be difficult to prove that it is stolen goods being brought back in the middle of the night and sometimes in the middle of the day. And that's the purpose of this free public resource for our Phoenix-area communities. What I believe to be helpful for catching more crooks is corroborating video evidence. One camera may catch the theft while another camera knows the home location of the thief. It is my goal to help the public find matching evidence from other residential or store cameras. This resource will house two types of evidence--searchable from the right column Search bar and Categories. 1. Evidence of theft from a store or residential security camera along with locations, dates, times of day or night, and solid descriptions of the item(s) stolen as well as the thief. I will be giving each posted thief a number for for helping to match suspect and thief data. My neighbor who is a suspected thief has been named Suspect #1. If you have evidence of theft that matches his description, please let me know that you think your evidence matches Suspect #1. 2. The possible home base of the thief determined through matching suspects (faces, clothes, bicycles, cars, license plates), times, dates, and locations of the theft on camera, and matching goods (e.g., televisions or other objects brought back in the middle of the night and/or offered for sale to your neighbors). I will be giving each posted suspect a number for for helping to match suspect and thief data. My neighbor who is a suspected thief has been named Suspect #1. If you have evidence of theft that matches his description, please let me know that you think your evidence matches Suspect #1. |
