Alot of cities have camera's at intersections which could potentially do the same thing before a stolen car reached my neighborhood. The police dept. in my city is asking now people to register there webcams with police so they can ask for video I guess when crimes occur, but I can see scenarios where that could wrong. Even with home webcams, criminals have no issues just walking and stealing UPS boxes right off the porch and there face clearly identifiable. HOA's are pretty stingy about increased neighborhood costs, I'd tend to think this be targeted to cities and justify it less police manpower needed. The smarter criminal will figure out ways around a camera anyways.
