A Louisiana man was arrested for stealing his neighbor’s surveillance camera, which livestreamed the act from the time the camera was stolen until the burglar reached his home.

The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that 43-year-old Franklin E. Welzbacher, Jr. from Haughton was caught on camera rummaging through his neighbor’s garage. He was arrested on June 15 and charged with simple burglary.
