Yesterday had a old guy drive by and see my camera even though it was camo'd with moss and such. He backs up and proceeds to walk up to it and works on it for over a minute trying to get the python lock undone.He didn't realize it has video and audio so i can hear part of what he's saying to himself.Without question he was trying to steal it.
Do you think anything can be done to the guy for just attempting to steal it, since i have video of it?
I found out who he is, the bummer is i'm always looking out for the druggies and this guy is a halfway normal looking 67ish year old guy.I'm going to have to figure something else out now since he knows i have cameras pointed at my truck.
What do you guys do to identify thieves?
Or do you just buy a beater only for parking out there.
Ticks me off

If nothing can be done, i will pay him a visit and let him know i have 2-1/2 minutes of him trying to steal my camera.
Public shaming in a small town could be good or bad since they have clan living there.
I have some other ideas if its seems like it will continue to be a problem.

Some dirt bags do have an actual conscience when confronted.
I'm no lawyer, but why can't he be prosecuted for trespassing, since he was obviously trying to steal your property.

So I always put a camera or 2 pointed at my truck to get video of thieves breaking into it.My partner had it happen once before.

A 67ish looking guy trying to steal a camera isnt normal no matter how nice he might look. I would post his pick on some social media sites and hope it got back to him.

It's attempted theft. Report it and let leo contact him...you pay him a visit and who knows what could happen, or what he would accuse you of doing to take the heat off himself...

I wouldn't pay him a visit unless you want to open yourself up to criminal accusations...

That's the route i'm going is reporting it. Then if i can get the sheriff to tell him that i have a full video of him doing it hopefully that might wake him up. If not it will be on here if i can figure out how to post the video.

I don't think he could be prosecuted for attempting to steal the camera but post the video and at least you might shame him into thinking twice the next time he wants to steal somethingYes a person can be prosecuted for attempted theft.
