The $40 security camera that stopped my neighbor's midnight dumpster runs

I got tired of my neighbor dumping old furniture behind my garage at 2 AM. So I dropped $40 on a Blink mini camera and pointed it at the alley. Caught him on video three nights later dragging a broken table over my fence. Showed the footage to the landlord, and now he's on warning. Anyone else had luck with cheap cameras for catching weird neighbor habits?

Wait, he was dragging a table over your fence at 2 AM? That's just wild. Who thinks that's a good idea? I'm honestly shocked he didn't get busted sooner, that's such a dumb move on his part. Good on you for catching him though, that is definitely worth forty bucks to watch your back.

Dude, "dragging a table over your fence at 2 AM" is such a specific image. I actually saw a clip on Reddit a few days ago about someone trying to haul a weird piece of furniture through a neighbor's yard at night. It looked just as dumb as he did, all fumbling and tripping over stuff in the dark. Honestly, your neighbor probably thought he could get away with it because who expects a table heist at that hour? Forty bucks is a steal for that kind of entertainment.

Forty bucks for a late-night comedy show with furniture props? That's practically charity pricing. I bet your neighbor thought he was being stealthy, but nobody drags a table quietly at 2 AM without sounding like a clumsy ghost. Honestly, you should start charging admission for these nightly performances.
