Another Sentry success story: Car keyed, women handcuffed and charged with vandalism

Teslarati corroborates. Should be legitimate. Nevertheless, three dozen posts with no one having looked into it is not a hopeful sign for the Tesla community to be above falling for mischievous news reports.

Great video-how was this obtained? Someone keyed my MX and we were quite upset because we could not find out who did this.
The side cameras are not always on? These key scratches are hard to fix on pearl white.
Isn't there a Sentry mode update? I don't see it on my MS and MX.
You have to have a late 2017 model year MS/MX (2.5 hardware) and with the newest software update to get Sentry Mode. Our MX got the update last week.
Even with signal, it does not notify you on a "recording". You just have to check the flash drive to see if anything is recorded once you get back to the car. You will only get "notified" if there is a LOUD sound detected and the car's alarm tripped. The loud sound was supposed to be a window breaking or other cars slammed into your car, but other reports that loud motorcycle drove by will trip it too.
Based on OP's video, I don't think the alarm was tripped. If the alarm tripped, you will be sure that she would not be parking next to OP's car and she would be looking toward it with all the noises.

I hate these lowlifes. They are likely even worse than the people breaking in and stealing things.

I don't see how she could have been, at least not at the scene. For that to happen it means the owner of the car came back and noticed the scratches, pulled the USB, watched the video, called the police, and waited for them to arrive so that the owner could point them to the lady in the car beside him who, inexplicably, was still sitting there...
I disagree. Vandalism is a BANE on our society. They need to be arrested, have a record and pay restitution.
Some of them do. My 2016 Model S with AP2 certainly did. All 2016 Model S and Model X built after mid-October 2016 had AP2 hardware.
Yes, the justice system in the USA is highly punitive, so your point of view is common where you post from.
The only thing is that the statistics do not support the claim that tougher punishment reduces crime.

In many places, once you've crossed the $250 threshold, it becomes a felony. If your maximum punishment could be over 1 year in jail, I have ZERO qualms with seeing the perpetrator in handcuffs.

Yes, let's hug her and tell her that her otherwise sh*tty attitude toward her fellow human beings is someone else's fault.
