When the police refused to do anything to track down Mark Roper’s porch thieves, this engineer took action, and a lot of time to combat crime. He put on his thinking cap and the results are grand.

Since he lives a few miles from me, I’m astounded that the police in his village couldn’t be bothered to do their jobs. It’s a low crime suburb. It’s not like there’s a crime. From Dec. 6 to Dec. 20, two criminal incidents, both theft were reported in this village. Why can’t these sort of things be investigated?

Check out Roper’s other videos. He wows with the fun of engineering.
