Well since I obviously not allowed to post anything about the perp in the case per the hoover pd.  If anybody would like to see a picture of the offender go to the jefferson county sheriff's office website and look at the inmate listing and the suspect is on the list.  You will know who he is.

I went to the Sheriff's office website but was unable to find the picture, can you point me in the right direction?

o.k., now that it has been a while since this occured and, since the suspect has been arrested, does anybody know how long it will take for him to go through the legal system to determine guilt or innocense? Is he still locked away? How does this all play out from this point? It would be nice to know that Bluff Park is rid of a criminal once and for all.

The following is great information floating around the Internet that I thought was very appropriate to this topic and worth sharing.
 
Put your car keys beside your bed at night!
  
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across.  Put your car keys beside your bed at night.  
 
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your car or house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.  This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.
 
Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this.  It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it.  It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it.  It works if you park in your driveway or garage.  If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your car or house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.  
 
After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.  And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot.  The alarm can work the same way there.  This is something that should really be shared with everyone.  Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.  
 
It would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.  Carry your car keys with you in case you fall inside or outside and no one can hear you.  You can activate the car alarm and then someone will know there's a problem.    

How about a general link to the sheriff's website?

The man that got in my car .. has been sentenced to 1 year and a day on July 27th.  He pleaded guilty to all charges so I didn't have to appear in court.  His name is Thomas Becket McGlawn and lives at 491 Turtle Creek Drive.  I do not know as of right now if any of the things he took will be returned, but I have talked to the DA's office about it and they are to let me know.  
 
I promised the video and will post it on a site everyone can view. I hope to have it on a link by this weekend. I'm not real good with this internet stuff so I have to grab some time from my son to assist.
 
   Everyone have a good day!!
 

As promised... without the assistance of my son.. I finally figured out how to do it.   HOPE, it works.
go to Youtube/  type in  BPthiefofproperty 0001  make sure there is a space between the Y add 0 and BP is capital.  
 
Keep your fingers crossed!!!  I'd hate to try and redo it.
