Coronado Newspaper Thief Caught on Video

An eCoronado.com member sent us some video footage of a theft that took place at their Coronado home last Sunday at approximately 7:10am (camera clock was not adjusted for DST). They have asked not to list their names or street address. In both videos from two different angles, a woman is seen walking by, opening a gate and then walking into their front patio to take the newspaper.

There are many homes in Coronado that have video surveillance and this resident happened to catch the theft on camera. They have not identified the person but did share their disappointment in not being able to enjoy their Sunday paper that morning!

Let's hope this thief sees the online evidence and either offers an apology or is 'scared straight' into purchasing their own paper.

The gate opens at the 55 second mark. Yes, we added the sneaky background music.

Comment by Rob Moore on December 5, 2012 at 10:24pm: It's those little things that are so aggravating...so many people are inconvenienced because that woman thought she had a right to someone else's paper. Disappointing...

Comment by Denise Boucher on December 6, 2012 at 9:45am: Boy, I truely thought it was going to be a joke and a cat or dog would come in. Ugh. I hope someone identifies her fast.

Staff Comment by Kellee Hearther on December 6, 2012 at 3:27pm: Unbelievable that she would unlock the gate, walk onto some else's property and steal their paper. Disappointing at best...despicable action.

Comment by Patti Peterson on December 7, 2012 at 5:16pm: Really? Keep an eye open for those boots!

Comment by Sheila K. Graves on December 10, 2012 at 10:51am: How small can you get -- what a cheap _ _ _ to lift someone's newspaper. And they live in Coronado?

Comment by Pamela McCollum on December 10, 2012 at 11:02am: That is pretty darned low. Hope she gets caught.....soon!

Comment by Jim Rohn on December 10, 2012 at 11:06am: disgusting ... reminds me of those that feel everyone else owes them ...

Comment by Pamela Saunders on December 10, 2012 at 11:25am: Looks like the same woman who took our Sunday NY Times, as we watched from the window. Wish we had been able to stop her, she jumped into a small black car and took off.
