Opportunity knocks: Before entering,
the man later identified as 'Brett' knocks and rings the doorbell for
two minutes to make sure nobody is home - a tactic that is common among
burglars, Denver police say
The pair were recorded breaking into the house at 1pm on Monday
After checking no-one was home, they came in through the back door
The faces of the men - one called 'Brett' - were caught on camera
They tried to destroy the cameras, but the data was uploaded to the cloud
See the footage of the bungling burglars after the cut ...
A
pair of bungling thought they'd committed the perfect crime when they
broke into an empty Denver home. But instead of stealing TVs they
appeared on them instead, after the homeowner's security camera system
caught them in action.
The
thieves announced their arrival at 1pm Monday by ringing the doorbell
and knocking for a full two minutes - a common test, Denver police told
the channel, to see whether anyone was home.
But nobody was. And that's when their screen time on KWGN began.
Casing the joint: Brett then peers
through the house's French doors, giving the house one last check before
he and his partner come in through the back door to the right
Footage
from a security camera in the house's combined living room and kitchen
area shows one of the thieves peek in through the French doors leading
to the backyard.
And
moments later the two thieves kick in the back door. With no alarms
sounding, they confidently striding in to steal whatever they can get
their hands on
But their confidence is misplaced, as both of them walk right in front of the cameras set up around the house.
While
one of the men enters the front hallway to see what he can find -
getting his face caught on camera in the process - the other makes a
telephone call: 'We're in.'
That's a signal for their getaway driver to pull into the garage and wait for the loot that's about to follow.
Smile, you're on camera: The other man is the first of the pair to be filmed
... Seconds later, the back door is broken wide open and they enter.
One thief wore a Broncos sweatshirt and ball cap. The other wore a bright blue Atlantic Moving Co. shirt. One minute later, one thief made a phone call.
"We're in. We're in," he told an accomplice on the other end.
That signaled their getaway car to pull into the family's garage where they could load their stolen treasures.
"That is something they do to mask their behavior. They hid what they were doing,” Schepman said.
"Brett. Brett,” one suspect said.
“What?” said the other.
“You good?” he asked.
“Yah,” he answered.
“Hurry up," said the other.
One suspect hurried the other along.
"Brett. Let's go. Let's go," ...
You're up next: Brett is then captured on the front hall camera
One of the men calls out to the other - whom he calls 'Brett' - to ask if they're 'good.'
'Yeah,' says Brett.
'Hurry up,' replies his partner in crime. 'Let's roll, fool!'
Exactly
what the men stole is unclear, but the footage appears to show Brett
carrying a large picture and a pillowcase filled with unknown items, and
the other man carrying a television set.
But
their glee comes to a halt shortly after unhooking another TV from the
living room wall, when Brett notices the security camera.
Loot: Brett appears to be carrying a painting and a pillowcase; his partner appears to have a television
Off the wall: The pair's last act on camera is to unhook a second TV set
Spotted: Brett then spots the security
camera, but his attempts to destroy it are in vain - its footage has
already been uploaded to the cloud
He
attempts to unhook it from the wall, but it's too late - the pair are
already primed to become unwilling celebrities, as all their data has
been uploaded to the Cloud.
'The images are pretty clear. Hopefully, the community recognizes who these guys are and lets us know,' Schepman told KWGN.
One
of the burglars was wearing glasses, a grey Denver Broncos sweatshirt
and ball cap; another was wearing a blue moving company shirt.
Screen villains: Denver police are asking anyone who recognizes these men to call in with information
