[clue] OT: To Track a Thief?

[Dan Kulinski]

What about setting up a webcam with some motion detection software?
You can remove the IR filter and then use an IR spot light to light
the area.  This way you can get photographic proof.  Of course you
don't really catch the thief red handed at that point.
