Say hello to an Idiot

Re: Caught in the act
 

Yep, I read about that last night here , it's a shame the sentence recieved was only 11 months though :td:

Re: Caught in the act
 

:LOL: Should have set the pc to blow up if it was moved :LOL: and before all you human rights brigade jump in here IT WAS A JOKE :D

Re: Caught in the act
 

Plus he pleaded guilty so he'll probably only serve 6 months at most.

Mind you I suppose we should be thankful that he was actually sent down and not given a light tap on the wrist and sent for councilling

Re: Caught in the act
 

He denied it at first, then the police showed him the footage. He had a change of heart then and admitted it.

The police were being quite smug about it, apparently his face was a picture when he saw the vid.

Least they got him for it.

Manchester has more than it's fair share of stupid criminials: http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/ne..._in_court.html

Re: Caught in the act
 

It states he got 11 months, but it was 6 months for one and 5 months for another job. This is normally a concurrent sentence so he will be out in four months providing heâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a good boy inside.

One thing I find strange is that he got a higher sentence of 6 months for the attempted burglary in Ely and only 5 months for Gilmerton Court where he got smudged by the homeownerâ₠¬â„¢s computer.

Re: Caught in the act
 

So, is there a guide anywhere for someone who may want to set up a similar setup ? What type of camera will be needed ?

Re: Caught in the act
 

Well he certainly will have the mick took out of him when he gets out lmao.

I can see it now... secure your house with remote email sending webcams.

Re: Caught in the act
 

Most of the cameras have motion detection as standard and the software to send to an email address or web site of your choice.

Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m thinking about the Linksys wireless camera that was £300.00 but is now down to £130.00 or less.

Duncan Grisby sent a link to his website http://www.grisby.org/burglar.html to the cam.misc newsgroup so we have been following this story for a while now! :)

Re: Caught in the act
 

His sentence is a joke though. He recieved custodial sentences twice before for burgulary. They should have buried him this time.

I bet you at some point now someone or organisation is going to come out and declare this is an abuse of the burgular's human rights especially with right to privacy...

Re: Caught in the act
 

Rarely does reading a thread bring me so much pleasure :D

Re: Caught in the act
 

ROFL i would have given him 10 years with no chance of getting out, really winds me up that genuine honest hard working, people have to go through crap, just because of some workshy low life.

Re: Caught in the act
 

Perhaps he'll try and sue the victim for recording him without his permission, you know, invading his privacy....

Re: Caught in the act
 

I have just got a 4 port camera input card for my spare pc, £16.99 including software from ebay. I am intending to get a second card and fit the two, and use a large capacity hard disk in a hidden location to store all the footage. (I wonder if it's still called footage in these metric times!) :D

This together with the 6ft high driveway gates, using an £840 (just ordered) hydraulic radio controlled access system, and a 2m high fence with razor wire around my property should keep the **** out. The area has not been too bad, but things are getting worse, with this new homeless hostel being built on my doorstep not being something I'm looking forward to. I am also considering electric fence across the dividing section of my 2 pieces of land, and my existing infra-red sensors interfaced to my pc parallel port, with a VB program to record the events when the beam is broken.

I'm not going to make it easy for them to even get within touching distance of my assets!

Escapee is beginning to sound like a very appropriate alias for you. :)

Re: Caught in the act
 

And I thought everyone was out to get me! :)

Re: Caught in the act
 

With all the money you seem to be spending on them, you might run the risk of security devices themselves being stolen, ;)

Re: Caught in the act
 

He'll be looking forward to playing his Playstation 2 and using the new prision Kariokee machine for 11 months.....maybe less with a good score?

:)

Re: Caught in the act
 

I can imagine him trying to steal the same computer but wearing a mask next time! lol

Of course with my airsoft weapons, any burglar who breaks in while we're in the house is in for a shock!

Re: Caught in the act
 

Hey Escapee, how about one of these in case they drop in from above .http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/l...ype-80-aaa.htm

Re: Caught in the act
 

I've emailed this guy to ask him which software he used...I'll post back when I hear something. :D

Re: Caught in the act
 

Info here Link Did you see the camera on BBC news last night, he also made that himself, what a guy :tu:

Re: Caught in the act
 

He does look sort of cute in that last pic though :erm:

Re: Caught in the act
 

Thats great. I might set up a few webcams on my machine as a security device too now.
