To Catch A Thief

We have had many issues with people stealing/vandalizing our property.
We've had our news papers lit on fire and melted the flaming delivery box onto my yard. Someone stole our entire gate one afternoon when I came home for lunch and left it unlocked for the 30 minutes while I ate a sandwich. When I went to leave my gate was gone.

Over the years we have been building a rock wall along the front of our property and installed a electric gate opener for those rainy Puna days. About a year ago my wife was leaving and the gate opener seemed to malfunction, but when I looked at it after work I noticed the automatic opener was unbolted and disconnected.... sorta just laying there... I had cut the threads on the bolts so someone couldnt just unbolt it and walk off with it, guess it only worked on about half the fasteners. Having them welded this weekend.
We installed several wilife video cameras around the property.

Yesterday while we were at the beach our cameras captured this... Gate is scratched up but otherwise seems to of held up well...

Sorry for the late update.. The driver was eventually arrested and charged with several burglaries, attempted murder and aggravated sexual assault after an elderly couple was attacked and robbed on their property. This criminal is now serving a 15 year sentence.

I hate the way some slime think its OK to simply steel what you've worked hard for.

Lets just hope a heart attack gets the fat bastard soon!

sooo many americans are fat

[HackHunters]

that guy is a repeat offender, meaning, that's the guy who's been screwing with your property. He probably has a fixation w/ your property thinking it's a safe place to rob you. I'd make a poster and distribute it in the city so the police can catch him. Also, move the camera closer to get the plates and his face. good luck.

Why do you think this family is being harassed? What is the motivation behind the stupidity?
