Technology revolutionizes yet another career field, and puts the human snoop out of business. Certainly a lot higher-speed than paying some kids to hang bogus fliers on doorknobs and then driving through the next day to see which are still there...

Hmm. Did these people in these million-dollar homes not have intrusion alarm systems? That seems like a fairly major oversight to me.
Wow...
Fuzzy: They were mostly placed in front yards to determine what homes were occupied.
Looks like some burglars took game cameras apart and repackaged them into something someone smarter than a deer wouldn't recognize.
And here I live in a county full of trophy homes that sit empty much of the year, and what am I doing? Putting scout cameras in the woods to get pictures of bears. Obviously I am not motivated enough.
Kristophr,
Apparently he had already broken into quite a few homes and stolen a lot of jewelry etc. prior to the one camera being discovered.
Jesus, Tam, when you name drop you aim to leave a crater, don't you?

Once again, proof that technology is really amoral, that is any morality that attaches is a result of the use to which the user puts the technology. The technology can be a game camera, the camera on a laptop screen, a remote used by a doctor as part of a remote viewing process, a security camera, or as the link indicates, a burglary camera.
I wanna use the tech in reverse, with the motion detector gizmo.... so I can have Film at Eleventy, of the alphabet boys when they violate my 4th amendment rights, sneak in, shoot the dog I don't own, and just generally molest my property.
Maybe replace the eyeballs in the stuffed deer with sumpthin' like that.

Oh a smarter than average crook.
You know I think the average reader of this blog would make a pretty good crook.
Well spoken, pretty bright, prone to planning, knows how to run a diversion, etc...
And you'd still get caught eventually by some damn coincidence, like the the nanny -cam next door taking a picture of your get-away.
Perp is on hold for immigration. I wonder why it was not mentioned in the article?
