We observed a vehicle behind one of our customer's shopping plazas, dump an old stove. Thankfully, we have a Hikvision 1.3mp PTZ zoomed into an area where we can capture license plates. We see a lot of dumping in this area and this has become our secondary protocol, with the primary protocol being intruders or thieves. We were able to capture a license plate on the vehicle. We ran the tag through our database and contacted the owner of the truck. The owner let us know that one of his employees was driving his truck at the time and that he would have the employee return the next day and pick up the stove. We informed him that he had 1 hour to return and take back his stove or we would turn the video over to the local sheriff's office. The subject said that his wife was on her way home with the kids and that she would stop and pick it up and to not notify the police. It the mean time, several kids on bikes decided to smash out the glass door and make an even bigger mess.
