See A Thief, Catch A Thief

I don't know about you but I've been looking for a new job lately and have not had much luck. But I got excited when I saw this article today - a company in Britain is going to start streaming video feeds from surveillance cameras in the hopes that "armchair cops" can help catch thieves in the act. Participants can earn up to $1,000 pounds when offenders are caught. Of course there has been some criticism about the scheme. You can read more about it here.

putting the $ in front of the thousand was my own ignorant mistake, not the original author's 😊

Didn't I see where some one in Hollywood was putting together a movie using only "security cameras"?
