Folks at Smith Marine in New Britain say their brand-new surveillance cameras had been turned on for less than 24 hours when they saw the attempted theft.
"We were just thankful that we had the cameras on, that we could see what they moved. What they touched, what they were going after," said partner Tori Smith.Surveillance video shows them breaking into a trailer full of motorcycles, using bolt cutters and moving some off-road vehicles around and checking others for keys.
"They went through everything. They looked for keys on everything. Anything loose. Anything a customer left behind on their machine," said Smith.Their heightened security measures were prompted by a burglary last fall when an off-road vehicle worth thousands of dollars was stolen. "The local street sweeper actually caught them in the act and we were able to alert police and maintain some of the vehicles, but we did lose one," Smith said."This hurts all the way around," said Smith. "It shakes up the customer. It shakes up your employees. We just want this to stop."Anyone with any information is asked to contact Central Bucks Regional Police.

New study challenges some dogmas about marine microbial lifeIf scientists want to find out how fast a population of bacteria grows, they often measure how their cell count changes over time.

That is why researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen have now taken a closer look at these processes during a spring bloom in the German Bight. In doing so, they challenge some previous dogmas.
