Seen anything interesting on an IP webcam

I've just been browsing the AXIS IP webcam hits on Google

inurl:"view/index.shtml"

I was wondering if anyone has ever observed a crime on a webcam? What did they do?

On a wider note, have you seen anything interesting on a webcam? I'm thinking of unexpected events i.e. not the intended target of the camera.

Finally, now I've got my router, I'm thinking of setting up a continuously shooting camera. Ideally, I'd want something as close to 25 fps as possible and a fairly high resolution. Will any boggo camera do, or do I need to buy an AXIS camera (or similar)? Cheers

The Axis cameras rock, but any decent USB webcam with the right software will be good enough.

If you try to go past page 10 on the search results, Google thinks your computer is infected with a virus or spyware :D

When I had the Antfarm one of the ants escaped live on camera when I was running the hexus webcam thing.

That's about it really. Until we get TV quaility webcams I don't bother watching them.

My mate runs some public webcams in Exmouth.

A while back this happened.
