Haha kids make the most comical thieves. I have a similar story...

My house got broken into last year. I'm not sure, but I think they may have gone through my kitchen window. Just inside the window is the dining room table, which had a brand new $400 Dewalt drill standing upright on it with the lithium battery in it and charged. Adjacent to that was my refrigerator that had my $380 Shoei RF 1100 helmet on top with a pair of $180 Alpinestars GP Plus gloves inside of it. They walked past all of this and squeezed into the tiny space (about 9") in between my 3 year old, ~8k miles, Yamaha R6S (that had the key in the ignition) and my shelf of video games... so they could steal the video games. At which time they proceeded to steal the video games.

I ended up losing about $1,500 worth of electronics including the ridiculous amount of hours I had invested in my saved game files on the 360. It sucked real bad, but taught me some lessons about thieves. I know have a fully setup and monitored home security system.

Getting passed all the serious stuff though, how retarded do you have to be to not simply put the helmet on your head to help conceal your identity at the very least? They could have done SOOOO much better than what they did, but I'm thankful they didn't. I can laugh about it now. Kids...

Along side that, I had my 180 dollar Dash cam, 450 dollar Escort 9500ix, a 150 dollar Boluva Watch, about 40 bucks worth of cash, 150 dollar pair of ray bans, and a trunk FULL of tools...
Where do you live again? What color car do you have?





p.s. your license plate number would also be fantastic, thanks.

Sorry this took so long. Had to wait for an adapter to come in from Amazon so I could plug the micro SD card in. But heres 3 videos from my dash cam. One of the videos is muted because apparently listening to Titanium by David Guetta while your dash cam is on can be considered copyright infringement.

Anyway: (Set it to 720p and that's the exact quality that comes out of the camera)

As you can see, the quality is not perfect. But I honestly don't think it needs to be. In the last video, you can actually see that as I get close enough to the E350 you can read his plate. So in the event someone backs into me for insurance fraud their plate will be readable from that distance. Overall I'm happy with the camera. It's got GPS so it tracks your speed if you ever want to use it to fight a ticket. It can also point out exactly where you are in the video using the GPS when you pull the videos up with the program they include. Starts recording as soon as it turns on, so if you hardwire it like I did you never have to worry about it. Overall, I'm happy with it.
