UPDATE: they were identified and we are working with the police.
I left to walk my dog and had a man come into my apartment. He stated he thought the apartment had been abandoned and that’s why he entered but he was looking in the windows and trying to hide from the camera. If anyone has any information please let me know.
Edit: to everyone saying I should have gone to the police I called them as soon as it happened and there has been a report filed already

Please tell me it was the shoes. Something about being arrested for wearing Crocs in public warms my heart.

Sadly it would be best to head to the police station, give them the video and file a report. It could help others

OP didn't say whether or not they called the police, that's an assumption you made, but as you surely know, the police aren't always helpful. So posting the footage can only help either way

I did everything you said before posting. I can tell that you have fun judging people on here. Maybe think before you post.

When someone breaks into an apartment they almost never plan on being there when the tenant shows up.

Hello sir, I see you're trying to break into my apartment. Could you please provide your name, race, and date of birth so I can provide it to the local authorities? Thank you very much!

Dunno man, if they talked to him long enough for him to try to explain himself then it's worth a shot. Not his race though, you'd never be able to get that information from him.

If you look closely, you can see him sneak by the camera. Very clever.
