Awesome Detective Work
Caught this on another forum:
Awesome work. The OP said that he'll soon be writing a thank you note that will hopefully be put in the LEO's file.
Got a phone call from the local Sheriff's office earlier today.
A few threads back I mentioned that our house was broken into years ago (3 to be exact). Well the Sheriff's office called me and said that they arrested a drug dealer. At this point I am still wondering if he has the right number.
He goes on to tell me that the drug dealer had a camera in his possession that he was using to take pics of his drug deals. When they arrested him they found the pics of his dealing but none of the pics were of my family. UNTIL... They ran a 'recovery' on the SD card in the camera and found a bunch of pics of my boys. At this point the officer still didn't know who the camera belonged to, but obviously knew it was a stolen camera.
They ran the serial number but it turned up nothing. So the officer examined the pics and noticed that one of them was of my middle son holding up his kindergarten diploma. He ran the last name to see if we reported a break in. Sure enough they were able to track us down.
The camera is going to be tied up in evidence for a while but they were able to get our pics back. The wife was happy about that.
Good job Dave men.
We had given up on the prospect of them ever catching the dirt bag that broke into our house. But as it is now, the drug dealer told them who he bought the camera from and now they are tracking that person down for questioning.
