I just bought a doorbell cam. It is charging up and when it is fully
charged I will program and install it. It's pretty safe around here
but there has been an increase in thefts during the pandemic.
The other night the doorbell rang about 9 pm. I went down to answer but
my wife was already there. It was some scruffy looking guy who
immediately said he must have the wrong house. Megatron asked who he was
looking for and he said he was told to pick up a woman at (our address).
Megatron asked her name. Oh just someone he was asked to pick up. I
went out and the guy is turned sideways looking at his phone. He looked
up at me and said he had the wrong house and I said "Yeah, you got one
where there was someone at home". He scurried off and hopped into the
passenger side of a car and they took off in a hurry.
I figure people are less likely to try to rip you off if they know there
is a cam, and the cam has a motion sensor so it starts recording before
they ring the bell.
