| Identify this car? |

Can't the police check the street cameras in the area for the car with no front license plate? Also the car roof mounts may also help with identification. |

Both Bonnie and Clyde here would most likely have been carrying cell phones with them. So it should be possible to correlate the presence of unusual phones with the time and location. Another observation: Bonnie has what looks like tattoos on her ankles, they are visible in many of the frames... Of course, this kind of crime may not be considered serious enough for the police to spend a lot of time on; this is definitely true in some countries / cities. So crime goes on, and on, and on, and.... As an aside, it seems to me the only practical way for home owners to increase the odds of picking up useful information in situations like this, is to increase the resolution of the security cameras... and/or setting up some perimeter cameras - with the idea of catching something decisive like a number plate. The less work the cops have to do, the more likely it is that they will follow up. |

The parcels are very to notice sitting there, it's shielded with lots of bushes and building on either side. The thieves must have driven by before, or are following the delivery truck around and scooping them up later. They have some prior knowledge of those parcels being there. There are tracking devices based upon WiFi or Bluetooth (cell phone, tablet, in-car nav etc). I believe it's constant polling/enumeration of unique device ID's. Analytics companies make these, municipalities use them "for traffic patterns" along the freeways, and you can also track people's movement in shopping malls for retail analytics. It's certainly creepy and the thieves would be broadcasting some unique ID's in proximity, if only it was logged. "Smartphones with WiFi can now be used as an indicator of customer presence thanks to a WiFi mechanism that is common across all such devices: probe requests. These 802.11 management frames are transmitted at regular intervals from WiFi devices. The frames contain information that can be used to identify presence, time spent, and repeat visits within range of a WiFi access point. These devices can be detected by WiFi access points irrespective of its WiFi association state meaning that even if a user does not connect his or her device to the wireless network, the device's presence can still be detected while the device is within range of the network and the device's WiFi antenna is turned on."

The plot thickens! Maybe the real crime is that Mazda and Toyota are making doppelganger SUVs? At least we get to confirm the presence of aftermarket roof bars. So handy of Perp1 to calibrate their height when getting out. According to the specs on the Toyota website, the door would be 68 inches/5ft8in about the pavement. So being right next to the door sets their height at around 5ft6in-7in. When Perp1 returned to the vehicle, we also get a handle on the height of the driver, Perp2. I suspect Perp2 is even shorter, about 5ft5in or less. As for the age of Perp1, I'd revise my estimate upwards; maybe mid 30s - or she's just a well worn teen? Could Bonnie & Clyde be mom and kid? This is wild speculation. In the driveway video we do not see the Toyota arriving. Did they pull straight up or drive by slowly by first? |

I thought it looked like there may be one or more tattoos on her ankles but I wasn't sure if that might just be her socks. Anybody find a reasonable shot? I'm going to see if I can find anyone else with footage that might show them driving by. I do have video of the neighbor's Amazon package being delivered but didn't think that was useful. Also someone drives by the other direction right as they stop in front of my house but it's unlikely they would be paying any attention. The problem with just about any camera footage is that people normally have the cameras covering their own property, not traffic on the street. I'm going to seriously evaluate installing one out there though, I can enable motion detection with zones so that it's not wasting disk space recording every time the trees move in the breeze. |
