this could happen. >> it's the price you pay sometimes when you are selling dogs and you advertise something that's pricey, there is that possibility that somebody is going to come in and do harm to them or to the dogs or try to steal them. >> both suspects are convicted of robbery. one, the gunman, is also convicted of assault and sentenced to eight years in prison. the other man, ryan veten gets two years. lucky for them it's not dog years. speaking of dog, what happened to the puppies? >> we got all the dogs back the first suspect we captured, he made some phone calls and managed to get all the dogs back to us. we gave them back to the victims. so they probably sold them. >> so you install a security system, position under surveillance cameras all around your home and you think that would be enough to deter would be robbers from invading your

private sanctuary? not a chance, according to homeowner abraham scaline from los angeles. >> july 17, 2008 around 11:30, 12:00, two people come to my house, took my jewelry, money, safe, my computers, and they walked away from the front door. >> it's broad daylight when the burglars walk past the security sign and enter the home through the back door. the first guy comes in slowly looking around checking to see if anyone is home. he realizes he's alone and decides to steal a laptop and leaves. but that's not the end of it. >> somebody from outside give him the signal on the phone if somebody is coming close to the house and then he went out again and got another closer. >> the second time two men decide to check out the rest of the house.

they enter the children's bedrooms, don't see much there. so they continue their search. >> then they went inside my bedroom, opened the doors, removed all the clothes from the closet. they found one safe. then they pick up the safe. they wrap it in my son's blanket. they walked away from the front door. all kind of memories from grandfather, grandmother, my mother, my father. money, everything i worked for the last 40 years is gone. >> i think the suspects burglarized this house, they was in there for approximately three minutes. >> abraham and his family are traumatized from the invasion and still don't feel safe at home. >> i still, my wife, she couldn't sleep for one month. my daughter, she couldn't sleep there. she sleep next to us on the floor him i feel now i live in a jail. those people should be in jail. but i feel i'm in jail. >> abraham is so shaken that he

decides to add more security equipment to his existing arsenal. >> i put barbed wire on my gate, electric gate. i have a dog. >> unfortunately, no kind of home security can protect a home 100%. detective hampton says he did everything a homeowner can do to protect his home and property. >> you secure your relevance, gow off, you come back, you expect everything to be intact the way you left it. i think the suspect that burglarizes a house, they could have gotten lucky that particular day seeing him back out of his driveway and assume he was the only one in the residence. it was a golden opportunity for them to come up and see if they can get in and they ultimately did. >> reporter: but at least with under surveillance cameras, victimized homeowners can have a fighting chance at catching the thieves. >> if you can afford some type of under surveillance video, it's definitely a good

protection to have. because if we can catch an individual on that tape, most likely we will identify him or her. >> abraham immediately alerts police and shows them his video. >> after being on the videotape, can i see there was two suspects involved in the incident. they were eventually identified. >> the police eventually apprehend both suspects and charge them with burglary. >> this palm bay florida home broken into belongs to 32-year-old elect trekkal engineer chris moffett. a few years ago, chris was the victim of an attempted home invasion. >> they tried to kick in my front door while i was home. so that rattled me enough to go out and get a security system to where i could see somebody at the front door or around my house. especially when i'm not home. >> chris installs a $1,000 home security system that includes

four cameras, a digital recorder and a gateway to the internet. chris plasters the exterior of the house with warnings that clearly display the name and logo of the security system that's protecting his home. the signs are really hard to miss, but they don't seem to deter these dumb criminals. even the window they break clearly has the adt seal on it. but they are determined to get in and steal something. >> on the video, itself, you will see the two suspects come around the corner of the house. they walk over to the camera, point it back down towards the ground. >> but what these two wannabe robbers don't realize is their mucks have already been caught on camera. >> as they flip it down towards the ground, we catch some really nice face shots that we can freeze frame. >> and it's this smiling face on the under surveillance video that's taken into evidence by the police and released to the media. >> once it was on the news, the police got flooded with phone calls because of the good face shots of the suspects.

the police actually issued a $1,000 reward. a lot of people responded right away. probably even their friends turned them in for the $1,000 reward. >> both suspects are caught within four days of the crime. >> it's into is to know that my investment paid off and that the system is working and keeps my house safe when i'm not home. >> coming up, a naked man seen running down the hallway of a philadelphia apartment building. >> when you think of seeing it all, you have something a little new? >> a woman locks on and watches a robbery in her home live. >> he's in my home. he's robing it. >> and what's gotten this neighbor so ticked off? >> he stole, i went. bing, bing, bengals. >> when "caught on camera, invasion!" continues.

because the incident happens at an off campus site the police are eager to unravel the mystery. >> reporter: we tried to keep a serious tone. he broke into an apartment where single, young women live. they didn't know, were they dealing with someone who has a sexual predator backgrounds or some cook? they didn't know. >> reporter: not only did they release it on the media, but on the internet. with a click of the mouse, his bare essentials debuted around the world. >> he was able to walk into the front door. >> he's not dressed like you expect an adult man on a 4:00 on a friday afternoon. >> he found one unlocked, went inside, took his clothes off, trashed the place, left with a laptop computer and left behind his clothes. >> at this point the under surveillance camera catches the suspect running down the hallway

completely buck naked. >> i live in philadelphia, a city that has seen 300 plus murders a year. we're not shocked by much. this is one, you think you've seen it all, here's something new. a guy trying to get into apartments naked. first we thought it was bizarre. >> through tips, police find their man. his name is michael vick tore. he lives across the street from the apartment building. not only that, he works in the neighborhood. >> he's an elementary school janitor that was employed with the school district of philadelphia up until his arrest. not only is he running around naked. he's in a school with kids. >> according to court paper the story he tells investigators is he came home, drank a significant amount of alcohol and broke into a neighbor's home. that's when he loses it. all of it. >> he goes next door, hems himself to a beer from his vacationing neighbor's refrigerator, taxi off his

clothes, then rifles through the belongings of their teenage daughter and the woman who lives in the home. >> he then leaves the neighbor's home, enters the off campus apartment building, takes the computer and leaves without a stitch of clothing. neighbors can't believe the man they have known for years now has a bum wrap. >> i'm shocked, really. we're kind of happy we know who it is and he will be put away and we hope, anyway. and it's a little disturbing he lives right next door to me. >> you hear it all the time, quiet guy, see him every day. we had no idea. >> do you have anything to say? >> michael vick tore pleads guilty to burglary, indecent exposure and criminal mischief. ? april, 2010, he is sentenced to prison. >> he says he has some severe issues to deal w. he's in the process of dealing with those now. he is going to upon release enter a facility to deal with the issue. he is very sorry and he will take action to make sure nothing

like this ever happens again. >> i think one thing i find amazing is when we go out, we're always asking, is there video? do have you under surveillance pictures? that's what we ask police. i'm always surprised people are in places they shouldn't be or doing things they shouldn't be aren't thinking of the fact that they might be caught on tape. >> independence, couple, 2006. the hall family suspects their 16-year-old daughter lindsay is the victim of a peeping tom and their fear is confirmed with a startling discovery. >> i was freaking out. i was crying and screaming. >> who halls set up a under surveillance camera outside lindsay's basement window hoping to catch the creep. and they do. the suspect tries to remove the camera, but not before his image is is clearly caught on kabul ra. the family checks the video and calls 911.

threats. we try not to take too much notice of that. >> luke is the man in the video being pounded with the rolled up reading material >> two weeks before i took the rubbish bin out. she was shouting from the top window with lots of swaerk i wasn't allowed to take it across the car park. i ignored this and put it at the front of the property. >> he owns a garage located next to this apartment building essentially making him and this woman neighbors. >> the car park, we remove the bin. we have a legal right way across which we've held since the building next door was built or occupied. the lady next door has no right to tell us what to do. >> but on this particular morning, luke gets an uneasy feeling his neighbor's verbal threats may turn into something more. >> i just got the bin and i kept my head down and looked to the floor and started to go across the car park and then it all

started. >> he sees the lady standing mysteriously by her car, find that really strange. >> reading a nub at the back of the car and i never seen her before. knowing i had to take the bin, i thought she was definitely going to confront this. >> with this in mind, he has his co-worker. >> i said to perry, when i pull it across, there may be an incident. grab your phone and record it if anything happens. >> so perry gets into position and starts to record. >> i said, stop. and it all erupted from there as much, like luke told me to carry it on film. occasionally laughing because it's so funny in a cintron him sort of way. then she actually tried to push it in the road. i had to stop so it didn't hit a car or drive into the car driving fast. when she was attacking me or

whatever you want to calm it with the newspaper, it was, i didn't enjoy it, obviously, at one point she actually kicked me. you know, just hoped it would be over soon and tried to avoid getting hit too directly. i think she had completely lost control. >> at this point perry wonders, should he stop filming, do something to help luke? he makings up his mind when the woman comes after him, too. >> what are you doing? >> that's why the film stopped. i thought, well, i got to stop now. >> so just who is this female ball of terror scaring the bejesus out of her neighbors? >> my name is sally dun ham. i'm 63. i'm a mother of four and a grandmother of six and i'm 4' 10." and i don't really take it upon myself to hit everybody.

phone, catching everything on camera. >> he was there. i had my back to him. i didn't see what was happening. within i turned around, they were videoing me. so it was a set up. it's like an ambush. >> what do you think you are up to? >> it's crazy. zbla her husband tries to break it up. he says he knows not to bother her when she's that upset he, too, could end up getting a whipping. >> did you see him trying to pull me off? he knows what i'm like when i'm angry. there is no way of pulling me off. >> during the incident, her husband did make a fairly lame attempt to try to stop her and then gave up because it didn't seem to have any effect on her at all. >> but luke and valerie do agree about one thing. they actually started out on good terms that's right. they were once friendly

neighbors. >> when they first moved in, we used to get on with them and we actually used to do some work on tear cars for them. >> it was all right at the beginning we were quite friendly with them. >> but the newspaper attack makes things black and white for luke. he calls the police. they give valerie a strong warning, not to ha ration luke and perry anymore. >> i think the exact words the police used, to me was good luck. >> i'll do it again if i've got the pach in my hand because he made me so angry, because it was a setup. i don't think you can do much damage with a newspaper opened, can you? not to be arrested and put in prison. >> the guys want to put this incident behind them but valerie stands her ground until the very end. >> fight for your property. what do they say an englishman's home is his castle?

advice from attorneys even and that didn't work. everyone we talked to was baffled. we felt if we stay out of her way, it would go away. and it didn't. >> angie insists to her neighbor that it's not her trash. maybe it's the yard workers. after all, angie loves her home and is obsessed with keeping it clean and tidy. >> have you looked out clean we live? >> people that know we would joke and say i have a up the of ocd. i don't want to live in a pig stay. i like things to look pretty. when have you such a nice neighborhood the last thing i want to do is make it look worse, i want to beautify it. >> i'm sorry you think it was us. we wouldn't do that to you. >> we contacted angie's neighbor, a 62-year-old mother of three to get her side of the story. she told us she was angry that day because she believed an jid and her family had been littering up her yard for months. she just had enough. she also asked us to blur her image for this story. >> i was told by the police department i could do this and

i'm going to do it. it's my fence, it's my property. as a matter of fact, if i can't get this up, i'm going to reach over and paint the thing. >> no, you are not. >> it's my fence, i can do whatever i want. >> you can't -- we're going to move. >> yeah, well. >> surprisingly, it's the neighbor who calls the police. the police order her to remove the sign and they tell angie to get a "no trespassing warrant" to prevent the neighbor from coming on her property. angie gets the warrants and posts revenge and posts it on youtube. >> i don't think i could have written a different script. carry on. >> i didn't expect anyone to look at the video. i put it on there for my friends and family. they didn't believe me. i fixed it was entertaining at best. maybe she would embarrass her and leave us alone. >> believe it or not, angie and her neighbor have made up. angie has since moved away and moved on with her life. she says if she ran into the neighbor today, you'd see a
