I also caught the chick across the street beating on her boyfriend and then calling the cops on him. They arrived, he disputed what she had to say and pointed to my camera. They wanted to see the footage and since I hate that fucking bitch (I have a camera on her house for a reason) I gave let them check it out and made a copy. The dude ended up being released and she did a few weeks. I had a tired slashed shortly after...and now there's a cam on the garage.

My folks ended up putting cameras up around one of their old houses in California. Their neighborhood had those community mailbox/station type things. One year, someone decided to break into it and steal tax returns - it kept happening until my parents put up a sign that said, "Smile, you're on camera". Someone also stole the spare tire from under his truck.
It's not such a bad idea. Here in Texas, a lot of houses have their driveways in the back, rather than the front. I can't hear or see anything back there unless I go out there - I hate it.
