In the community I live in, multiple of us have cameras, but we had been lead to believe that posting our video if it showed teenage thieves, vandals, etc could get us in trouble. Personally, if someone's kid is stupid enough to vandalize my property, I don't quite see what leg they have to stand on, but I figured it was worth asking.

Not sure who you talked to, but if they are trespassing on your property then any privacy issues are out the door IMO.

I am not a lawyer, but think I am 99.9% on this.

I've seen plenty of car hoppers in my neighborhood over the years; what's different about this video is that he didn't take the time to scan the car's contents. The second he looked up into the camera, he spun around and walked away.

Yep, have had the same thing happen. They cruise up, grab the handle then see the cam and move on quickly. Here is one of mine with a group of young kids

Alarm company signs and window stickers can be a deterant also. Barking dogs as well.

Just your typical 'car hop'er. They cruise the neighborhoods hopping from car to car to see if someone left an open door. If not unlocked and nothing of value visible, they usually hop on to the next car and leave yours alone. I have had several of these on my security camera over the years.

As the signs say, Hide your valuables, Lock the Car and Take the keys.
