Need help identifying these two punks attempting to break in our home

I don't believe damage was done, but my concern is that these kids were lucky to have not gotten shot trying to break in our home. You can hear them discussing their plans. I have more clips but these are the clearest. Within 12 minutes, the awesome Brazos County Sheriff arrived but the punks had vanished. Their car is visible in the background alongside the driveway. It looks like a Hyundai Elantra but I could be mistaken.

Their shirt colors are inverted in the nightvision so the best clip is the first one.

It was in Indian Lakes around 11:30pm last night (Saturday, Sept 8th).

My family would appreciate it if we could root out these guys and hopefully teach them a lesson so they may be able to right themselves before they face either a short or hard life that lies ahead for them. The material value at our house is nothing. Their lives are.

If you don't want to post here, you can email me at: mike@hnatt.com

Thanks so much!

Mike

I would guess that they live within walking distance of your house.

I'm wondering if they weren't drunk and thinking they were at someone else's house... I haven't ever seen thieves wearing flipflops like they just got off the beach. They're lucky they didn't get shot. What type of cameras do you have? Great footage/sound!

**edit.. not sure why I thought they had flip flops.... sorry! lolol

I'm sure the school resource officer at the high schools can positively identify these kids. Now that the schools use the sheriffs office, it should be pretty easy.

also, 1ags on the auto board should be able to identify that car real quick.

Those are either high school or middle school kids.

Clear enough videos these punks will definitely be caught. Especially with the power of TexAgs!

Love your security cameras. Looking to upgrade mine what do you have?

The car looks closer to a white 2 door Honda Civic to me.. these kids are definitely brave, they look like they would be 7th-8th graders but you can never be too sure.

Like someone else said - I would guess it's some kids that live nearby.

I would also like to know what camera system you use

Seems odd they would randomly pick a house to try to walk in to without prior knowledge of the owner being out of town or a valuable item located in a certain spot. Do you have kids this age or any relationship with a kid this age? They might have accidently leaked something to the wrong turds.

Very nonchalant. You can also pick up good side work installing cameras. It has been asked lots, but what is your camera set up.

Is the date in your original post wrong? Do you mean Sept 8?

"last night (Saturday"

It's safe to assume OP meant last night, Saturday Sept 8. There was no Sat Aug 8 last night.

According to video 1 house is for sale?

Perhaps they were just being curious or going to throw a party inside if it was unlocked

Indeed I made error. Yes, last night, September 8th. I even named my files wrong. Thank you!

The cameras are the Arlo Pros and the Arlo Pro 2s. The 2s (newer) do not have as good of night vision as the non-2s, but have additional features. You can pickup auxiliary IR lighting off of Amazon for $20 that does great. We've been using Arlo now for few years and they have helped out a lot. Thank you all and hoping we can find these guys!

So wireless cams?
mhnatt
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes - fully wireless. They have all kinds of options (even cellular at $5/camera/mo) so you don't have to rely on any utilities. There are a few quirks, but overall we have found them as having the best feature sets as opposed to Ring, Nest, and Canary.

Something about the house being for sale in the first video

"make sure they don't have one of those doorbell cameras" and "you're sure no one is home - right?" and "there's a TV" are a few phrases.

Reckon they cased the inside from the listing pictures ?

Did the deputy responding try to pull any prints from the doors ?

We've had the Arlo Pros since last fall on the exterior of the house. Great for seeing what is going on from afar or while in house. Arlo stores in cloud for 7 days, we hooked up hard drive for longer term storage. When Costco puts them on sale it is a heck of a deal.

Great to see it in action perhaps giving two young fellers a chance to make better choices in the future. What dopes.

Check some yearbooks at the local HS's would be my best guess. Homeboy has been working on that long hair for a while should help with the search.

All they did was jiggle a few handles? Kids today give up so easily.

They did not look drunk at all.

If you have some neighbors with high school children, I'd ask them. They will likely recognize them.

I don't think the school will help in any way.

So the idiots make sure to look for a Ring doorbell camera, but not any other cameras? Not the sharpest punks, are they?

Hope you catch them before they get shot.
