These crims thought they had it easy

There’s nothing we love more than hearing stories from our customers.

Lyn Spain from Toowoomba was given a bit of a fright recently when two men tried to break into her car and her house. In the end they got the bigger scare and ran off before doing any real damage. But thanks to her outdoor security camera, Lyn was able to help police identify the would-be-criminals.

Here she recounts what happened in her own words:

“On Tuesday evening, December 18th 2018, two would-be thieves tried unsuccessfully to steal my car and break into my house. They stole a set of keys that were in the car believing they could get into my house using those keys. Unfortunately for them, no house or car keys were on that key ring. They were spooked by me stepping into my patio area and ran off.

On viewing the App on my phone, I was able to get a good look at those criminals and with the help of Dave, a staff member at Outdoor Camera’s Australia, I was able to download a copy for the police to help identify them. It was certainly money well spent on the camera and solar panel.  The downloaded footage is clear and the police were impressed with it as it will make their job easier. Clear proof that crime doesn’t pay.”
