Jason—Totally agree! Besides maybe adding some interior strong metal bars to that large glass window to discourage a glass breaker, how about spending a little more for a high quality color camera. The video photo still shot shown is nearly worthless. Yep, we can see a vague grainy video of the perp, but of no value whatsoever to help identify who it is. Might as well be no camera at all, so I guess cheaper to keep replacing the glass?
The Saturn with a damaged right front was shown in footage of a guy stealing a ficus tree from a Church in Gonzalez on December 1st.

Yesterday my cameras alerted me and I saw a guy outside barefoot and shirtless. It was around 03:00 am. He noticed the cameras and kept walking. That was a good call for him because I had a shotgun in my hands waiting..
The other incident involving a Saturday with a missing passenger side front fender was at the Gonzalez Methodist Church where some idiot stole a 6-foot potted plant/tree.
This incident at Thompson Tractor leaves me scratching my head. Three incidents where the door glass is smashed, yet it doesnt appear anyone thought it might be a good idea to get either:
1) A better camera with full color night viewing – a 4 megapixel camera is available online for less than $100 – or
2) add any additional lighting near the door way to improve the quality of pictures from their current camera; or
3) moved the current camera to gain a better picture of the suspect.
Good grief, put a motion activated 8mp trail camera on a shelf by the door to take pictures of the doorway each night.
That car looks kinda like a pre-96 Saturn SL series but it’s not a great picture. Wasn’t there a Saturn like that suspected in another break-in lately with a damaged right front?
