Did anyone happen to catch this movie on A & E last night? I really enjoyed it. Strong Chicago connections and there was even a scene of "Casper Karr" [the thief] jogging through Churchill Woods.

I have been researching and reading about the movie a bit this morning. Won't say what I've found out. This movie is best seen "cold" - not having any idea about what you're about to see.

BTN, I did catch it last night. It was really frightening to think about these people sitting out there and watching you, or your wife or your kids. Pretty fascinating lifestyle this guy led, until his probable, but unsolved end of his run.

If you find something interesting, please link it here, as it was a great documentary....

I will only say this:

1) It is NOT a documentary although it sure fooled me. That's why I did the research.
2) The film maker - Malik Bader - is the "Street Thief", Casper Karr.

I saw several posters up on Chicago utility poles for "Street Thief, Casper Karr". I was wondering what it was for, my initial thought was video game. I think I'll try to catch it now ...

So I got fooled BTN? That upsets me.....it was still entertaining....

It can be quite entertaining to be fooled......in the right context. Brilliant frikkin' flick.

You must be upset often.

You know me much better than I thought......

Did you happen to watch The First 48 episode that preceded Street Thief? That sequencing of programming was a master stroke.

The episode of The First 48 that appeared last night was new to me. Not sure if it had aired before but the segue into Street Thief was PURR-fect.
