The burglary was all caught on his home surveillance system. The video, captured at 1:30 a.m. on August 18, 2009, shows a car pull up in front of Hamlin's driveway. Two men got out of the car and walked through the open front gate. Moments later, the two men backed out of the driveway in the black Lexus LS 460-L.The camera captured a woman get out of the passenger side of the waiting car, get into the driver's seat and both cars pull off.Cornelius Police hope by releasing the video, someone will recognize the burglars and help put them behind bars.
