Back in January we had a run in of break ins resulting in the work car being stolen from my house.

The thieves post on what I think is instagram about it and I have been sent these two photos. (Second in comments)

The main photo is from today so it appears I'm being watched after getting the car back

Any way of finding the account?

the sherlock project may help identify their accounts.

Do you really need that snorkel?

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, it often goes places where water comes over the bonnet

Sorry i dont understand what's going on.

Your car got stolen.

You got the car back.

Then someone posted a photo of it today.

The conclusion is, the people who stole your car are now following you / watching you?

Why would car thieves be watching you?

To steal it again?

The day after it came back someone tried to break in and steal it again setting off the newc alarm system.

Then they tried again the following night.

Then this photo was taken today and posted on the instagram page

Pass the info to local law enforcement who can contact the social media company to obtain more infos about the account.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 6 points 5 hours ago

Have, the person who sent this to me sends it all to them.

There's been no result.

They post this kind of thing every week different cars etc

If law enforcement won't help, then you'll need a lawyer who can get a court to issue a subpoena. This would probably be in the context of stalking/restraining order.

I can almost guarantee that Facebook, with its extensive data mining, knows exactly who it is.

It's probably kids. In usa it seems like 11-15 year olds donthis for "fun". Shit here they kill homeless people for fun too.

Id dig into the user names on the top left and the watermarked one. Search Google and ask chatgpt to find other usage of those usernames.

Looks like edguy lost boys is their crew name.

Have you thought of setting up a trail cam/dash cam? might be able to catch the person taking pics

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 3 hours ago

that's one of them, coming back the day after the is was returned

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

I'd post it locally on every platform and hope they see themselves. See if local news would pick it up, if there's other cars being posted you're not the only one they're doing it to.

Being in public light should get something done, be it with the police or personally to their lives.
