We want to trust the people who provide home services. And, in most cases, that trust is well founded. But this recovery story serves as a warning that sometimes there’s a bad apple in the bunch.

Our customer’s laptop was stolen from his home in a daytime burglary. Within two days, the computer was online and making contact with the Absolute Monitoring Center.  The Absolute Theft Recovery Team was quickly on the trail. They provided information to local police that helped them quickly locate and recover the computer, which they returned to our relieved customer. But the story didn’t end there. A relative informed police that the suspect worked for a lawn care company. Sure enough, it turned out that company had mowed our customer’s lawn the day of the crime. Putting two and two together, the detective working the case connected several other unsolved burglaries to the light-fingered lawn guy and recovered property belonging to other victims.

Indictments and criminal complaints are unproven accusations and the accused in all cases are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
