One of our users Chowda633, a Wootalyzer fan and Marine, who found his way to Justin.tv through the Woottv community, was robbed! During the day he was away for ear surgery and comes back home to notice that various things around his apartment were missing. His discovery of his misfortune is caught on Justin.tv as he calls the police. Afterwards one of our other users discovered in the archives the entire robbery and made a highlight for Chowda. With the help of Justin.tv, Chowda was able to call the police again and show them the archived video to provide as evidence. Don’t take our word for it, listen to Chowda retell the tale in his own words here on Justin.tv!

You hired someone to act like a tv reporter, nice one.
my house was robbed on Monday, I also captured the robbery on video, thanks to justin.tv However, I don’t recognize the scum bag in the video, so any help would be appreciated.

The robbery took place at night, so it’s not as clear as the chowda663 video but, there are a couple of clear face shots.
Thanks justin.tv.
wow chris – I think JTV may have to partner with America’s Most Wanted now..LOL I hope they catch the guy!
I saw the video of the second robbery caught on cam! That is just incredible luck.
I’m glad your JTV stream could be there to see the guy in the act.
It made the front page of the paper today. http://www.projo.com/news/content/WEB_CAM_07-01-08_UDAM1N8_v66.3e8559d.html
