    Default Caught By Camera?

    Well I have a friend who stole a camera from a store. It was in plain view also. He just took the camera and ran away as they chased him to the car . The licence plate was covered.

    So my question is, could he be caught by the footage? And what are the odds?he was wearing a hat and glasses also.

    Thanks in advance and have a nice day

    If they got the license plate, they can probably get him. Since you say the plate was covered, he should be fine. Running to your car is the worst thing you can do so he should probably think of a different escape plan if he plans on shoplifting again (not saying he should but he'll probably wanna push it to the limit since he got away with it this time).

    Tell "your friend" he probably should stay away from that store for awhile so he doesn't get recognized.

    thanks for your reply. It really is my friend. The reason why I'm so worriedis cause we do everything together so ibwas just wondering. It was a camera store with the cameras behind the counter so there isn't any other way

    don't be so sure that your friend got away with it just because he covered his plate. there have been cases where other methods have been used by the police to discover thieves. the trend among small retailers these days is to post theft surveillance video on youtube with a reward. many thieves have actually been caught this way. by the way, if your friend is caught for this, it is possible that the DA could consider this robbery/burglary instead of just shoplifting. your friend showed clear intent to commit a felony by covering his license plates, and that's all they need (intent) to charge this as a felony.

    theft from small retailers is even more reprehensible than theft from the big corporations. your friend is a great guy.

    I think you need to find a better and smarter class of friend. Hat and glasses? ya, that prevents anybody from recognizing him. Tell that to all the bank robbers caught on camera setting in prison that thought the same thing.

    on top of that, a car can be recognized by means other than the plate. That merely prevents them from using that to find your friend.

    there are a lot of folks in jail and prison that felt the same way.


    there are often pictures taken from the camera footage and distributed to other branches of the store or I have even seen such distributed to other brands of stores.
