We've apparently reached the stage at which the rats are starting to go stainless steel.
High-tech burglary suspect nabbed after secret camera found
DALWORTHINGTON GARDENS — The discovery of a hidden camera may help solve a series of break-ins at upscale homes in several North Texas cities.
"This one has already been camouflaged," said detective Ben Singleton, holding what looks like a piece of bark that would go unnoticed in most yards.
It's actually a video camera not much bigger than a matchbox, and it's activated by a motion detector. Such cameras turned up in March planted outside several upscale homes in Dalworthington Gardens.
They have a suspect in custody. The next iteration? Wireless access for a remote alarm, or perhaps a "I've been disturbed" ping. Which would be detectable with the right tools, of course...
And a new arms race is begun.
