Home invasion

[encorehunter]

Why isn't crime supposed to happed in Thornton?

Crime happens everywhere. Thieves are always looking for an opportunity- the easier, the better.

If you want to keep your stuff, make it more difficult for them.

Make sure your garage door closes. Make sure your truck is locked. Every time.

Don't leave valuables in the vehicle. Don't leave garage door openers in cars parked outside. Make sure all your doors and windows are difficult to get through. All the tips we have heard a million times.

We must be especially vigilant now, with the apparent crime wave driven by homeless drug addicts, rampant illegals and a society frightened of teaching morals.

I did this. 4” screws in the doors, security doors and all. Motion sensor lights, cameras almost everything. He cut through the security door with we don’t know what, stole several cameras, stole the motion sensor lights and kicked the man door on the garage so much it broke the wall and pulled Ramset nails out of the concrete. It was a few thousand in damages. They didn’t get in, but sure caused a lot of damage.


My belief is the only thing to stop them is a shotgun.

If you are going to confront home invaders make sure you are wearing body armor. Preferably with plates backing up ballistic kevlar. Point Blank is a good brand.

Glad you and yours are safe. Have you heard of DNA spray/gel? In a nutshell, synthetic DNA that's applied to things that might get stolen.

The amount of times that LEO does a DNA test on stolen property is exactly zero.

The amount of times that LEO does even fingerprints on cases of stolen property isn't quite zero, but not far off.

There's enough backlog for DNA tests on aggravated rape alone. You practically have to get murdered before forensics takes a look at anything.

While I haven't looked at the site, the premise alone is marketing on CSI-watching soccer moms.

Court system and LEO have a lot of cases to handle, so each cases receives usually a baseline investment in time. They aren't committed to solving your crime, they're committed to going home at the end of the day.

Post any good pictures of the criminals faces.

I'm sure some on here can use them to identify the criminals.

I learned this lesson as the jury foreman of a felony menacing and burglary case. A key aspect of the case was that the suspect claimed he had not been in the victim's apartment for several years, so any strong prints of his on common touch items would be forceful evidence to the contrary. Yet, no print collection was even attempted in processing the scene. Our jury question to the judge and DA was met with a hemming and hawing answer about "resources", yet the charges could theoretically put the suspect away for a decade or more. More ammunition for why we acquitted him fairly quickly.

Stay very, very frosty Sniper- they now know you have firearms.
They may very likely return.


I do not miss Northglenn one iota.

I have not but that is an awesome idea

Damn, that sucks. These sorts of thefts seem to be increasing. And rarely get caught.

Do your cameras give you notifications when they see motion?

Notifications are annoying, so I have mine set to only give me notifications at night. Speakers in my home will announce " there is someone in your driveway" or "a person is in your garage" at night.

It's also getting common for them to break into a car in the driveway and use the garage door opener to get into the garage (and potentially your house if the door isn't locked). I deactivate my garage door openers at night as well so if they get into my car, they can't get into the garage.

I hope they catch those assholes.

Yeah we get notifications but I didn’t wake up to it unfortunately.
Definitely changing up some things after this happening.

Absolutely! They didn’t try to come back last night I stayed up late and watched the cameras, definitely on high alert as are the neighbors. It was posted in our neighborhood Facebook with the videos and people are on the lookout
