There are many things that are valuable, and while annoying when they get stolen, we can understand at some level the reasons why. For example, someone smashes into your store and takes cash out of the register. While I certainly don’t condone that act, at some level I can at least understand the motivation and the thought process that ran through the criminal’s mind – Obviously they needed money and the register had money in it… Once again, I certainly don’t condone that act, nor do I think it is adequate motivation for an individual to commit such a crime.

But the crimes I have the hardest time coming to terms with, are the crimes that are committed with no logical reasoning or thought process. These particularly heinous crimes leave the victims feeling violated with little to no understanding of why. This can include vandalism of a home or business, or this particularly unusual theft – Someone stole some bricks from the Pentagon tragedy on 9/11 from a monument in Naperville, IL. I have a need to rationalize things so that they will fit into nice little boxes. This type of crime seems completely unpredictable and the motivation to committing such a crime that just hurts people and does not even benefit the criminal in any way.
The Naperville 9/11 monument had a Security Camera installed on location to watch the monument, due to the fact that the monument had been vandalized previously as well. Unfortunately, there was a technical glitch which prevented the camera from providing footage of the crime. This is a good reason to check your security cameras frequently to ensure that they are functional and adjusted properly. Don’t just take it for granted. If you find that cameras are out of focus, dirty or not recording properly, take steps to repair or replace the camera immediately.
Keep your cameras up, and check them to ensure proper operation regularly.
Like they say “an ounce of prevention…”
