My store was broke into at night shortly after closing. At first I did not realize that I had the evidence that I needed to make a strong case. All I was worried about was twenty thousand dollars in merchandise. It was gone just like that. The police had done their investigation at the store then asked several neighboring stores some questions. It was then I realized that my Sony dome security camera recorded the whole event. The data was removed and taken down to the police station for evaluation.
Several weeks had gone by and the police had nothing. This was a clean break in the detective said. He said that he would get back to me on further information when he had it available. It was heart breaking to lose that much merchandise when my business was struggling to begin with. Several employees were let go just weeks prior to this. My business was at the end of the road. There was no fork in the road to lead me in a new direction. The only hope here is to have the detective find something out. Hopefully it will be enough to turn up some of the merchandise.
The detective called me on Tuesday and wanted me to come down to the station with former employee identification. This is something I generally discard right away to get rid of any visual heart ache with the former employee. Any legal documents are kept offsite in a safe location. Luck would have it that I had some copies of driver licenses to match up with the video on the Sony dome security camera. The detective said that this was perfect and that he would get back to me. The waiting is nearly killing me.
The help that I need with the business is not something that I can go to the bank and loan. The business has been tapped out since buying the Sony dome security camera, jewelry stands and display cabinets. My closest friend knows what is going on with the business. He stopped down this morning to ask how I am doing. He could see that I was not happy with the slow work of the police. He slid a check my way and said not to worry everything will be just fine. With a trembling voice I said thank you.
It is Thursday morning almost three months to the day sine the break in. The phone rings with the detective at the other end and he has good news. He said that he has a case. There are two suspects in custody. Leaving the store to go to the police station I felt relieved. The sony dome security camera recorded two former employees as the suspects. The detective was able to match the suspects up to the copies of the licenses that I had gave to him. This is my testament of evidence. Without the Sony dome camera in place that night I would not have ever found the suspects.
