Should I call this in?

I called the sheriff's dept this morning. The lady who answered had no time for me, stopping me in mid sentence to put me on hold. After being on hold 3x and then having me explain what I meant by "CCTV", and "Closed Circuit TV", then "Security cameras" (which she understood) she finally told me that they wouldn't do anything with the information. If I filed a report then they would take no action on it unless I could give them a license plate.

Sounds like you got the run around. You might wanna take it in, instead of calling. Often times when you call over the phone, they won't draw a report cause it ties up for more emergent calls. I would go in to the station with the disk, ask to fill out a, "Suspicious Circumstance" report.

If they don't take Suspicious Circumstance reports, you may be out of luck.

Offer to send them a pic of the vehicle / driver. You never know if this could be someone they are looking for. I would try to reach a detective for this, prob the one that handled your burglary.

Don't jump to any great conclusions with him/her about this being THE suspect but a free offer from a citizen to send in a GOOD quality pic like you have for them to take a look at CANNOT hurt one bit.

Im not saying don't take it to the police, because you should. But, an idea no one has said yet is perhaps it's... a cop! (lets not discuss the poor approch tactics if it is... but at the same time it's SO brazen (he pulled INTO the driveway) that it could be legit...)

I know my department has a guy who does nothing but stolen vehicles. Notice he went to the front windshield... where... the VIN is. If your car matched a recently stolen one and he was driving by he might have used his dept. Nextel (like 99 percent of departments use) to run the VIN.

Or, he is a scrote that is doing something fishy.

Possible.. But not with the super baggy pants, at least I would hope not. :D
