<p>Do you have a camcorder?  If you do you can probably connect it to a PC or Mac with firewire and use capture software to record to a HDD with overnight.</p>

<p>If you have the hardware already it's just a matter of finding software (iMovie for Mac is an option, as well as Premier for windows), and making sure you have a HDD large enough for several hours of video.  </p>

<p>Another option would be to stay out one night waiting for him.  If it's just a thug maybe all he needs is a good scare - maybe you could yell or shine a bright flashlight at him.</p>

Sorry, I would've voted you up if not for the "handgun or shotgun" part. I would suggest you edit that out as it has nothing to do with AVP and condones violence.

<p>I'm facing an annoying problem, for the last few weeks somebody in my neighborhood steals gas from my motorcycle.
It's a Honda VT125 Shadow, all the wires and hoses under the tank are apparent. So the guy unplugs the hoses and siphons the tank.</p>

<p>So i'm looking for a way to film the bike at night to try and find out who this jacka** is.</p>

<p>The street isn't very dark at night.</p>

<p>Any ideas are welcome</p>
