ELMER, NJ
Sorry to bring a downer on us all. Im a newbie, but could use your help. Since june this guy has been here 4 times, broke 3 windows and taken about 700$ in petroliana. He comes rt 40 heading west bound. Police have fingure prints and dna, but no match in system. To them, this is not as important as it is to us! He came june 2nd, took a buick hubcap and cast texaco door stop, june 4th took broke window and took plastic gumball gaspump??? july 20th took prestone thermomter, broke window again and ran. and aug. 18thish took firestone sign and green stamp book. Ya, kinda weird selection. I guess the car is a dodge stratus or ford escort? any help? Burry

he stays for 15mins or more wondering around. Sat on my bench and smoked a cig. I have over an hour of video of him. It is on youtube. just search wamsleys. the first 2 times are up, it pi$$es me off enough i never sat there and edited the other 2. Thanks Burry.

Just a thought have you talked to your local news team and explained what your trying to do historically with the station, but someone keeps breaking in and you have the video. Where I live the news would be all over it.

its been in the local papers twice, but the local news was not ready to pick it up. until the total hits 1000, it is still a small crime and they dont really cover these. (just not interesting enough i guess.) Thanks, I like the idea.

BANG! BANG! A-hole! JMTC

Hope you catch him.

My friend has a mech. shop and he kept getting broken into he had to put up a fence and buy a german shepard but it stops the common theif. But this is dog will bite strangers.

GET A DOG! I would get a German Shepherd! I had one and they are very protective of their property. Other than the incident in June, seems like the guy travels past your place around the 3rd week of the month - 20th, then the 18th.... not sure if there's a pattern or not, but I think I would put some more items out for the guy and take a vacation and lie in wait for the guy and make a citizen's arrest at gun point if the police aren't willing to step up.

Good luck. Looks like one of those folks you see in the Walmart pictures.

I would get a camera at the end of your driveway so you can get a license plate number.

Wamley. Check your PMs.

I see 2 clues-
1- Bel Air- is there a college or town where the shirt would be from? Is he headed toward or from Bel Air Maryland?

2- He's got ink on his arms so he's been to a tatoo
parlor- show pictures see if the've seen or know
this person.

Lets see here: You have fingerprints, DNA, an hour long video of the guy and pictures of his car...even Chief Wiggems should be able to find this guy!

next time he sits down for an hour on your bench and has a cig strike up a conversation with him....

Ryan's got a good point. Get a camera that can get a pic out by the road and get his plate number.

WELL, this is against the law, or they really frown on it here. If he is coming in same way evertime,you can give him a little shock. Like 440 works well.
I have a buddy that cleared road ways,etc in nam he sat up a little bomb device for his returning theif Messed him up pretty bad. And he like to got in big trouble over it.
But sometimes you have take care of business !!

Another thing I would do is put up some signs that say no trespassing or Beware of Dog.

But for the fact it might make the guy go berserk and break your camera, damage your property, cut his hair, toss his shirt, etc so you may never find him, a deterent might be to blow up his picture and put it on a sandwich board in the middle of your drive to make him think the cops are onto him.

*sigh* it will probably only scare him off for a few weeks...
