We did get it back, the thief took it (and our next door neighbors) around the corner, tore them open, and when finding it was doll house stuff just left it there. Another neighbor walking their dog found it and brought it back to our next door neighbor.

So now we have a Ring doorbell and a wired camera in the back. I'm going to extend the range this evening since we're into package thief time. I'd definitely not buy in a neighborhood if we couldn't have one. I think almost 1/3 of our neighbors do, and we live in a very safe area.

Yes, it's always people who "live in a very safe area" who have these dumb things. Why bother living in a safe area if you don't feel safe?

How are you going to 'hunt them down' and who has time for that? The reality is all you're going to do is watch the video, be super pissed off and post it online. That's the sum total of what your Ring video experience is going to be. What a waste of effort and time and frustration.

Unless you want to include being hacked and having criminals watch YOU. Which is happening.

Plenty of people post the ring video, identify the thief and handle it in open court.

Yes, it keeps going around and around and around this point: it doesn't STOP a crime from happening. It simply RECORDS IT. If you believe that a woman in Florida painting her nails while saying into the phone, "Get off my property, you hoodlums" is actually going to make them get off her property then you are a bit gullible. Those are ads. Reality is, you will only film your things being stolen.

It doesn't stop the active crime, but if you think cameras and security don't deter FUTURE crimes you're an idiot.

If the perpetrator is caught it also certainly prevents them from recommitting the same act. Like this woman who was caught within her own community, Monica Francesca Giusti now has a court record and sentenced to jail.

She was stealing packages left-and-right in 2018. Haven't heard a peep from her in 2019.

Please don't be that person posting on 'next door' about "suspicious people" who are just normal people doing normal people things.

Why are so many PPs offended by someone having a Ring? Rally, they are plentiful and $100. on Amazon. Go drink your latte.

People who have those Ring videos are self-important, self-absorbed and paranoid, and the exact opposite of neighborly -- as this thread has illustrated.

Well someone is super judgmental today. No, actually. We have a Ring, doorbell and cameras, b/c we have a daughter who is starting to stay home alone and we want her to see who is at the door. We live near parkland, with no streetlights and homeless people and others have been seen wandering in the area on occasion. It makes us feel safer even if we aren't.

Why don't you not worry about my Ring cameras and worry instead about your own flaws. There's plenty to work with there.

Put in a request for a streetlight. We did and a few years later got one.

Or try the poophole, which people have been using for years.

No rear entry, please!

Peepholes require users to come to the door and stand basically pressed to it.

A) An individual can see or hear you on approach

B) Its dangerous if its a predator as Jayme Closs' father found out

The suspect said he began pounding on the family’s front door and that James Closs thought he might be a cop and demanded to see his badge.

Patterson shot a single bullet at the dad’s head through a small window in the door and burst into the house, he told cops.
