The homeowner there missed the mark on a bunch of things, but having CCTV cameras wasn't one of them. Even a basic unmonitored security system can save your *** in the aftermath. Ring, Arlo, whatever... front-door and back-door at a minimum. When the cops come and want to know what happened, you tell them the absolute minimum you need to,
Having CCTV could also help you figure out where the TV set that mysteriously showed up on your front porch during the night came from:
Man wearing TV on head caught on camera leaving old TVs on Virginia front porches
Monday, August 12, 2019 8:47PM
HENRICO COUNTY, Virginia -- Residents living in a Virginia neighborhood woke up to find free televisions on their doorsteps. It sounds like a great gift until you see the older box sets left at the homes.
"He's committed to his trade," said homeowner, Jim Brooksbank.
No need to adjust that dial. Doorbell surveillance cameras captured the man with a TV set over his head, laying an older set down on someone's front porch and just walking off.
"He wants to be known as the TV Santa Claus. I don't know," Brooksbank told WTVR-TV.
The bizarre discovery happened Sunday morning in Henrico's Hampshire neighborhood. Outdated boxes were found at more than 50 homes.
"We got an old tube-style TV, 13 inch," said Brooksbank.
"I thought my son brought it home, but apparently not. They had way too much time on their hands if they had all these TV's and spread them all over the neighborhood," said homeowner, Michael Kroll.
Henrico Police are tuned into the situation. They have security camera video from multiple neighbors, but think it's only a prank targeting no one in particular.
"At most this seems to be more an inconvenience to the community," said one officer.
Officers and county workers spent Sunday morning picking up the old units and hauling them away.
"The police did a great job of coming up and collecting them all," said Brooksbank.
This is the second time the TV set mystery has played out in Glen Allen. The same thing happened in a different neighborhood last August.
"I think it's just a prank. Some college students who are just bored," said Kroll.
"It's summer, and people are getting ready to go back to school. Maybe TV man was just ready to strike and put a little humor in our lives," added Brooksbank.
In the absence of knowing the brains inside the box, these homeowners are left only to guess what it all means.
According to Henrico Police, the only real crime committed was illegal dumping.
I'm actually slightly inspired by this. I've still got a few hundred CRTs piled up in cold storage that I need to get rid of, and randomly distributing them across homes in the local neighborhood at night would save the station quite a lot of money in disposal fees.
Ruling on motions, writing opinions, affirming or overturning lower-court rulings, etc. Basically the same stuff as 86 year old judges. (I assume that most judges older than 80 have risen to the appellate level, and are not doing mundane trial-court stuff.)
The world's first public electricity supply was a water wheel driven system constructed in the small English town of Godalming in 1881. It was an alternating current (AC) system using a Siemens alternator supplying power for both street lights and consumers at two voltages, 250 V for arc lamps, and 40 V for incandescent lamps.

What proof does JoeP have that Ginsburg is still alive?
DaFuq?
If RBG was dead, then snowflakes all across the country would be weeping and crying about how horrible it is that the president is now going to have the opportunity to put Joseph Goebbels on the court.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Tuesday sought to quell concerns that her recent health-related issues could cause her to leave the court, saying in a new interview, "I am very much alive."
