Yeah I know Jay, I knew you were gonna say that. LOL

But I don’t think I would press charges. I would just wanna know who the hell it was and then I would accost them about it.

I can’t wait until “He not only stole the light, but he took the camera and even stole the hard drive out of the computer that I had hidden under the stairs!”

Right, I have no intentions of pressing charges if it is my neighbor as no good will come from doing so. He has called the cops in the past when my roommates throw parties and I have built our relationship back up so he said he wouldn’t call the cops. He has my phone number if he needs something. I really don’t think it’s him. But he is kinda weird and he did complain about a different light left on that is basically right next to his house which we have since stopped leaving on.

it’s hard to explain if you don’t know the situation and layout of everything.

But on the other hand I have no idea who else it would be, hence the camera.

haha yea, I need to figure out how to do an automated file transfer to a different computer or saving or a remote hard disk or something.

The suspense is killing me! I can’t wait to find out who is taking the light.

I would have probably set up something that was a trap and said it was something entirely different, like a test. Have not one but 50 ratchet straps all over the basement holding different things up. If he falls and gets hurt it wasn’t a trap, I normally use rackets to support my belongings all over the basement lol.

The door idea is great. Not a locking door but a trap door that drops into a padded pit. NOW PUT THE LOTION ON THE SKIN.

You won’t call the cops on someone who is entering your house and stealing from you because you don’t want to hurt your relationship with this tresspasser and theif? Are you actually castrated or do you just like to pretend that you have no balls?

Lock your damn doors and stop trying to play dick tracy. At this point if you get your TV stolen and your butt raped it would be your own fault.

I’m just not certain who it is so there is no sense in calling the cops yet.

made usb to ethernet cable adapters so I don’t have to rely on the second computer. plus it greatly increases the possible locations of the camera.
