No I don't but I really hope that somebody does, what a low life.

Nice chap!

(There must be a better way of passing on the CCTV footage though, than making a video of it from the security monitor!)

Once caught, he should be named and shamed and put in stocks on the village green.

How does that camera follow him around?

If theres an operator why the h*ll isn't he on the phone to catch the b**ù^)à?

 

[Spinney]

Hmm. This ^^^

I'm beginning to wonder if it's some sort of wind-up. Got the link off the Langdale & Ambleside MRT facebook feed...

Or maybe the camera has some sort of face-tracking software - but that would only work in a pub with very few customers, surely!

 

[addictfreak]

Seems that the FB page is saying the same guy is responsible for stealing a number of collection boxes. So maybe not a wind up.

Lowest of the low, stocks in the village centre and thief tattooed on his forehead!

I'm not 100% certain but it looks a bit like 3BM.

Looks like the footage has been zoomed in on upon review. If you look towards the left hand side of the screen there's a small (x2) and a scroll/zoom bar type thing below the interface controlling which area of the recording is being viewed.

Ah! So it all makes much more sense now

Dammit! You mean I'm supposed to put money IN those boxes?

Ever since I saw my Gran taking money out of the collection plate in church I've assumed you were supposed to help youself to a few coins... I thought it was the charities' way of thanking the public for their support!

The Lord helps those who help themselves richy baby.

£4.73, what a tight bunch!
