It is interesting how 'incidents' can suddenly reprioritize your life. I've barely spent any time on HA lately as work has spiked, plus other obligations like helping kids school prep for upcoming year, etc.
Fri night, a sign in front of my house was 'tagged'. I pulled up the video footage, and got some entirely too grainy and unable to make positive ID pics & video. Regardless, i distributed it to the neighborhood yahoogroup as it seemed to be a local kid; it was 3am, and walking towards the entirely residential district (the other way is where the businesses are). The kid seems like he's ~16ish, white, skateboarder, heavyset, with 2 scrawny friends, and there's not too many of those around here.
Well, someone is pretty sure they know who the kid is, gave me the address. I filled out an online police report, and this upcoming Thursday is the monthly community policing meeting that I normally attend so i'll have our local police rep pay the suspect a visit with the pictures, to see the reaction.
But, before that happens, i now suddenly need to reposition two of my cameras so that they'll catch any punk kid acts of revenge.
On the one hand, I still don't have time to attend to HA, but OTOH I best make time to act as a deterrent. I'm putting both cameras in patently visible locations, so the punk kids know they're on camera.
Sure wish I didn't get cheap cameras, though, if I had a hi-def one in the front I could have made a positive ID.
