Does their store security make an Etch A Sketch of every customer?

Thats a pretty horrible photo.... I would say pretty much worthless.. maybe they will spend a bit extra on better camera system.

As it stands now I, if I was a thief I would feel totally comforatble stealing from them. In fact advertising the fact your have a crappy camera monitoring system probably isn't a good thing.

My husband wants one of those Plasma cutters. Hopefully he will list them on craigs list. LOL

Is this bad image because of the resolution or because of the media? It looks like what you'd get on some of those older monitors from the 1980s.

The images were sent inside a Word document, which means I have to cut and paste them. For some reason, whenever I do this, the result is what the above photos. We asked for jpgs, but the right guy didn't respond.

Bet if the cops take a good look, they're going to find a nice chop shop operation and all of these plasma cutters are going to be there.

Rural communities are getting hammered by sophisticated crooks counting on low-tech or no security. My brother lives in a rural northern Missouri small town and there were three or four Illinois guys arrested trying to load "Gators" -- big ungainly low-speed four-wheel drive vehicles -- onto a trailer.

Brilliant plan marred by execution. The crooks had gotten to the small town a bit too early so they set up watch. Of course, you get mighty thirsty while watching other people work. So the crooks bought a couple cases of beer drank nearly all of it during the course of the day.

Finally, they see people leave and execute their brilliant Oceans 11 scheme!

Unfortunately, the business has a maintenance crew that does service work late into the evening and the out-of-state yahoos were loading up the Gators while the employees were takign pictures and calling the cops.

Police arrive and the guy driving the truck pulling the trailer takes off and leaves his crew behind. Highway Patrol immediately sets after him. He sees the emergency lights and sticks his arm out the window and tries to wave the trooper around him!

Finally gets stopped and the trooper asks him about the trailer.

"What trailer?"

"The one you're pulling."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," said the driver, clearly drunk.

Communication continues until driver says "I don't like where this is going. I want a lawyer and you can't search my truck or the trailer."

Trooper says: "What trailer . . . "

Anyway, all now sitting in a small town pokey awaiting disposition of their cases.

To drag this post on topic, though, after the search warrant was executed authorities found a GPS with numerous north Missouri John Deere dealerships (who carry the Gator) keyed in. The plan was to go from small town to small town, stealing and selling Gators.

Letting people know that the cameras are this bad is going to make Orscheln's a target.
