Burglary

[Cream Soda]

Damn, I didn't know it was this easy to rob someone and get away with it. Time to take a stroll in the neighborhood.

See PM I sent you. Also: don't rely on local PD to get the ball rolling. I mentioned on a similar fraud thread that you can get pretty much anything if you know how to talk to people. You can fanagle your way in to watching the surveillance tapes if you "are investigating a burglary and have a lead". Not to say this method isn't illegal but honestly unless your case is assigned to a major case squad, the probability of your case getting solved is practically zero. Fraud just isn't a high priority lead for prosecutors these days because reasonable deniability can make or break your case (i.e. I got the card from my boyfriend! I didn't know it was stolen!".

I'll just give a heads up, if I understood what your saying briefly.....

Either impersonate a private detective, or a police officer to gain access to surveillance videos of the suspect?

If so, you can figure out who it is but when it comes down to prosecuting for the offense a good defense attorney would have a field trip with this and probably get the case thrown out. Thats if the district attorney doesn't throw out charges beforehand.

Didn't mention either of these methods, just stating you can get anything if you know how to talk to people. Depending on the companies regulations, you don't need to be either to request video footage. Also, a DA isn't going to throw out a case simply because the victim decided to do some ground work. If the victim isn't an agent of the government, then it all falls under inevitable discovery and private citizen laws. I'm not telling people to go out and proceed to vigilante ass-whoop perps who wrong them, i'm just pointing them in the right direction if they feel they aren't getting any results.

Got it, I misunderstood.

Sorry

You don't impersonate. It's completely legit to investigate yourself. If someone makes that assumption without asking the proper questions or asking for ID, that's on them.

Definitely didn't do it alone ( a 50" samsung HDTV was taken). Yeah I saw this guy in my house, I was passed out in my kitchen living room. The reason I didn't do anything is because I had people over just a couple hours before that (the last person leaving at around 3:30 when I locked the doors) he was one of them, a friend of a girl that is a very good friend of mine (she was talking to this guy). I did ask him what he was doing in here and he said he was looking for his wallet, I asked if he had found it in which he replied "yeah" I said "ok" and didn't think much of it at the time because I was pretty much asleep, dead tired from work the past two days and it was 4AM (I had woken up at 6:30AM the previous day).

So you were drunk, had friends over, passed out, and your shit got stolen?

Ok.

I wasn't drunk, I didn't even drink just to make it clear...but yes to the others.

I'm not looking for revenge on this guy. I'm just looking to get evidence to convict him. Hell, I'm not even sure it was him but adding everything up points to him.
