Since moving to Langley’s bucolic Fernridge neighbourhood six months ago, Courtney Thomas has been a victim of crime three times.

On Wednesday, Thomas watched a live video stream of an unknown woman stealing a parcel off her front porch.

“Right after we moved here, we discovered someone had stolen the copper plumbing from our cellar. The sink and shower were draining right into the cellar,” she said. “Just last week, we had two ATVs stolen. Someone used a crowbar to open my garage and took them.

“That’s why we put up the camera.”

The camera, armed with a motion-detecting sensor, switches on when someone approaches the home and beams the video online.

On Wednesday at around noon, Thomas was at work when UPS dropped a package containing a pop-up greenhouse on her front porch. Thanks to her camera’s remote viewing feature, she was able to watch a live stream of both the delivery and the subsequent theft.
