Amish Business Owner Fights Back With Technology
While it’s doubtful that the Amish business owner was updating his location on Facebook via his mobile telephone, his shed business was being routinely broken into nonetheless. After the sixth break in, the man decided he’d had enough and went to discover a solution to his problem.
The man came to the conclusion that the best way to catch the criminal was to catch him in the act with a security camera. While Amish law forbids them to be photographed, it doesn’t say anything about taking someone else’s picture, the man said. By using an infrared hunting camera, normally reserved for taking pictures on animals at night, he was able to catch a perfect glimpse of the criminal breaking in for a seventh time.
Other Amish business owners in the area had also been reporting break ins at their stores and are now planning to fight back in the same way. One man now has a video camera hidden in some horse harnesses in an attempt to stop the criminal. His store has been broken into 4 times.
Police say that the video they’ve reviewed already shows the criminal coming in and going through drawers looking for loose cash. A picture of him is up on the website accompanying the article and police are asking that anyone with any information on the individual please come forward.
