On Sat 27 Jul, Chris Bell made the following spurious claims:

But I imagine it would be enough for the coppers to work out who it is
and further their investigation.  The footage would be enough to get a
warrant and, particularly if fingerprints are on record, they should
be able to get there.

There's also the notoriety of the case.  In Sydney last year a guy did
exactly this and posted the footage on a web site.  The papers picked
it up and ran it on the front page.  Not sure if they caught the
purpertrators but they were CLEARLY filmed ripping off his whole
place.  Weirdly they didn't take his computer!
