I like that motion sensored video surveillance system. Does anyone know if that is something available aftermarket or does it come as an option on a Hummer?
The motion sensor security is something that can be made but I'm sure there are security systems that have this feature already built into them. I had a Viper security system in my truck that would alert me if anyone gets too close to the vehicle. But I could have installed a few cameras and a DVR running on a secondary battery connected to the motion sensor to start recording when anyone gets too close.
I know there is one security system that will take a snapshot of the vandal/thief and send it to you via remote.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

I'm in shock that a man of that age would do something like that. Perhaps he was really bored in his older days and since one day a punk in an H2 pissed him off, he has now made it his mission to seek his revenge on all H2 owners!

That's why my next car will be white. Even if it's keyed, it's hard to see!

The guy turned himself in. He is 72 years old. The paper had him quoted as saying "economic stressors" lead him to do it.

Re: Old guy vandalizes a Hummer, gets caught on the surveillance camera

CRIME Blog | The Dallas Morning News

Knew he was one of those 'green' nutjobs...

"Mr. Jeppe initially told police this was the first and only Hummer he had vandalized. But he soon admitted to keying four other Hummers at four other locations in recent months. Asked to explain his motive, he said "They have a big carbon foot print and they use four times as much gas as the rest of us do and I don't think it's fair."
Mr. Jeppe told police he is a member of the Sierra Club and Green Peace and that he donates money to both.'

Message to 72 year old green nut!
"You now increased pollution and your carbon footprint because of all the pollutants that are going to have to be released into the atmosphere after the 5 Hummers get resprayed. Good job!"
