Sure.

If you click the link, you'll find that it points to a file at www.pmfp.net

I happen to be the owner of that domain.

OK, so here's the issue:

Do I go ahead and record footage with this setup?

Or wait until I get a better angle?

I am loathe to put the camera at risk just to get footage of someone's hands and feet taking the sign away, so I took it down for now.

I would reposition it to get the full person and possibly vehicle/license plate coverage of the most likely place they would park, if stopping to damage your property.

Agreed there is little sense in missing the full picture.

Thumbs up

I am really enjoying every moment of this saga. Not so much the cloak and danger aspect, but the possibility that RL may actually catch someone and we get to follow the chase, so to speak.

Kudos to RL for stepping it up a notch. LOL.

I believe that he is referring to the tinnitus crickets.
