Watch one burglar’s funny attempt to avoid a surveillance camera

The Slidell, La., Police Department released surveillance video in an attempt to identify a burglar in a home robbery Monday.

The burglar made attempts to conceal his identity by placing a towel over this head before finally deciding to steal the surveillance camera, according to The Times-Picayune.

What the burglar didn’t realize was the images the camera captured had already been sent to a cloud-based server.
