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.
I wonder if his wife knew he was watching — while he was away?
She certainly does now.
If this happened here the Burglar would counter sue cause his privacy was violated
If that happened here… they would throw it out of court because his home obviously did not have adequate, posted warnings that the premises were under video surveillence. 😉
If that happened here the Wife would sue for divorce on grounds of abusive surveillance and wind up with the house. Then she’d move in with the burglar and collect alimony. But hey, I’m not bitter.
TJGeezer wins for the pure comedy of his comment! I love it!

“I wonder if his wife knew he was watching — while he was away?”
Oh my. Seems like we’ll soon need explain to John the same things he far too often needs to explain to Leo during TWiTs.
