Ha! This modern age. Vlogging and lifecasting (shudder) site Justin.tv user Chowda633 went off to get ear surgery a while ago and returned to find several vital items missing from his apartment. Fortunately for him, his Justin.tv stream was going the whole time he was gone, and another user found the footage of the robbery.

It’s not really that exciting to watch, of course, but the event itself is great. Anyone else know of any good stories where robberies, cheating spouses, or alien visitors have been caught by a webcam?
