[Video] Clutchfans brethren! I need your detective skills! Car got broken in to. Surveillance video

Last night a group of punks pulled up in my cul-de-sac and broke in to every unlocked car they could find. My neighbors across the street had their car stolen. My wife's car was broken in to but nothing was taken, as we don't keep anything of value in our cars.

The video is of my neighbor's driveway. :35, 2:20 are decent shots of the thief's face, 6:20 is the best shot of their car.

If you know anything about this, please email me at xerobull at gmail or call Houston Crimestoppers at (713) 521-4600 and reference the Heritage Park Village car robberies on 10/7/15 in Friendswood, TX.

 

Yeah, and that's sad as ****. I worked in a state juvie school and that crap ain't no joke- far scarier than prison. Those scrawny kids would be gang raped within 24 hours.

I thought he'd be taller, though.

 

They're pretty damn lucky; my 'hood is full of gun aficionados. The neighbor who had the surveillance cams? He's a cop.

 

On my part, this was a mistake, as we don't usually leave my wife's car outside. It was in the driveway because i was working on something in the garage. However, this is a very safe (complacent) neighborhood. People routinely leave their garage doors open and their cars unlocked. Made it a perfect target.

I know what you're getting at as I have seen the article on the fob signal intercept/recording/spoof device. These kids were just checking door handles, IMO. You can see the kid in the video testing door handles on the Jeep Grand Cherokee next to the white truck. I suppose it's possible but I would be surprised if they had that level of sophistication.

One of the neighbors swore he saw the car at some point last week. Another, an older lady, said she saw some kid on a bike videoing the area on his phone...it is important to say that she's in early stages of dementia, sadly.

 

No broken windows/jimmied doors that I was aware of. They hit 8 driveways in under 5 minutes. They did leave as soon as they hit the jackpot and found the keys to the neighbor's car, which is a nice black Cadillac.

 

I'm in the newer part of Heritage Park (Heritage Park Village) right behind the high school. It gets a little iffy as you go farther south, with the oldest part on the other side of Bay Area Blvd. I rented a house in that part when I first moved back to H-Town from Ft. Worth. I didn't want to buy a house there but it wasn't terrible.

 

The time struck me as too early too. I don't think they were bored, though. Big time felonies stealing cars and guns.

Broke in...semantics. Here you go:

loot, plunder, raid, ransack, abscond, burgled, despoiled, dispossess, heist, filch, liberate, lift, pilfer, pillage, pinch, purloin, rifle, sack, scrounge, swindle, swipe, take, thieve, do out of, rip-off...that work for you?
