In Austin, Texas, a gamer’s webcam, broadcasting on Justin.tv, captured video of a burglar taking a mountain bike and an Xbox 360.
“I’m going to miss my bike and the Xbox. Damn it, I had so much time invested in trying to finish SKATE. I guess I’ll have to start all over. Oh well,” victim Chris Mullins wrote.
Mullins left his house for a few days, but set up his webcam and began broadcasting on Justin.tv before leaving. He came back two days later to discover a broken bedroom window and some of his belongings scattered about in the hall.
After sorting thorough his Justin.tv archives, Mullins came across the video he was looking for. He chronicled what happened below.
- He waited about a minute and then broke out the rest of the glass. (4:42 on the video) Walked down the hall and came into my office, taking a few dollars. (4:05 on the video)
- Left my office and explored the house, probably taking my Xbox, controller and games. Bastard!
- Comes back down the hall and starts flipping on bedroom lights, grabs my bike. (1:44 on video)
- Then he goes back into my office where he finds the change bowl and other small items. This is where you get a good look at his face. (1:22 on the video)
- Leaves the office and goes back to turning on lights and checking everything out, takes my bike and then goes out the front door.
“If anyone recognizes the piece of [expletive] in the video, please contact me. Thank you Justin.tv, you made my day,” he said.
