Ted got home from work and his extension cord(that was over 30 years old) had been stolen. So he went inside and took a look to see if he could see who took it, this guy comes down his street all the time so he knows now who stole it. Ted put up two cameras out by his street to get this old guys car plates(which he now has) He is going to try to set him up with something that will get him on grand theft charges. Will post video when it happens.
Here is the theft of that old extension cord(kept it behind the flower pot for over 20 years)

Smart move posting this on the internet with an attempt to entrap him with grand theft charges, but it looks like someone already reported this to the PD/Sacramento Bee arrest logs:

"What you in for?"
"Grand theft extension cord."

 

20 - 30 year old extension chord = FIRE HAZARD... would be funny if this theft results in the theif's house burning down from electrical issues from this chord

 

Grand theft for an extension cord that's 30yrs old? Puh-lease! Misdemeanor at most and considering the cord is 30 yrs old, he probably did the homeowner a favor by taking it. If the house caught on fire because of a faulty ext cord the insurance may not have paid him for the loss because he was using something dangerous. As for the cord itself, $20 for the cord when new and with 30yrs of depreciation, the cord is probably worth $0.05.

 

I doubt the thief will ever try to use it, I'm sure it has already been stripped down and the copper sold.

 

Pretty much what I was thinking...so the guy saved your neighbor from setting his place on fire...lol

 

The problem is, that when the guy buys a new extension cord, the crackhead will come back to get that twenty five cents worth of copper too.

 

VIdeo was taken 4 months ago, not sure why it is being posted today.
