It did not help catch them but was used in the prosecution of two of them. They were caught by Rohm PD after a neighborhood watch called for suspicious activity. They called my wife because they recovered her backpack (read that as purse) with DL and all her info.

Re: Catch someone breaking into car

I don't know what I would do. I know what I wanted to do after it happened to my wife: " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (not embedded for a reason)

In our case, we managed to get almost everything back. IANAL and I don't know how insurance really plays in to this and the law. IMO, I really don't think it matters.

Another thought, you don't know if my insurance would even cover the item(s) or discuss the deductible.

So, let's say that I have a radar detector in my car, which I do. It's a $350 model, or was when I bought it, and it is in the perps hands. My insurance deductible is $500. Insurance is not going to pay to get it back right? But if my detector is $525, then the law applies to me because I would get $25 back for it? Again, IMO, I don't think insurance is a matter of discussion. Got to love the "what if" questions.

There has been more than one news report of the person who shot a BG, even in the back while running away, and was not arrested or charged because they were protecting property.

I sure wish one of the attorneys of the group would make up a fake username and answer all these lawyer questions for us. :biggrinjester:
