Do not know how many people in our cool business caught this, but hey, print this and send it to your potential clients. It is a good plug for our business.
Happy Holidays friends and associates.
SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian businessman traveling in Germany watched by live video as a burglar robbed his house on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in Brazil.
He alerted the police, who rushed to the house and arrested the robber as he was trying on his clothes.
The businessman, Joao Pedro Wettlauser, was in Cologne this weekend when he received an alert on his cell phone from the security system in his beach house in Guaruja in Sao Paulo state, police said on Tuesday.
He logged on to his laptop and via the Internet saw live images of the burglar at work. He then phoned his wife, who was not at the house but called the local police.
"She told us the details about the thief and where in the house he was as we surrounded the house," police officer Americo Rodrigues told Reuters.
The burglar used a ladder to break into the house. When the police entered, he had a pile of goods such as the stereo system in the kitchen ready to be taken away, Rodrigues said.
"He was surprised when realized he was being seen by cameras connected to the Internet," Rodrigues said.

Although it's becoming increasingly common to hear of such tales, one did tend to wonder whether there was a little bit of Internet "spin" at play - apocryphal stories that turn out to be just that. However, there was, relatively recently, an item on the BBC news, telling the tale of a business man discovering, via the internet, a number of youths burglarising his house. The difference here, though, was that cctv footage of the incident (and the police arriving to arrest said yobs*) was played on the TV.
But of course it might all be just a conspiracy . . .
