These days, cameras are very small & often go unnoticed; they can be made as small as a button on a shirt.
 
I like this part at the top of the article:

"Authorities arrested an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy Thursday, Sept. 10, on suspicion of repeatedly breaking into and burglarizing a deceased Yorba Linda man’s estate."

Looks like his first burglary was just to break in & take inventory to see if it was worth a second trip.
He needed a heavy-duty cart for that safe with guns in it, since it was too heavy to carry out.
 
Something else that might come as a surprise to some of you:
A gun that costs $600.00 in a store is worth $6,000.00 on the street to a convicted felon who can't buy one legally. That's why this officer made sure to bring that heavy-duty cart to wheel out that safe.
You may recall the "Rampart Scandal" involving many Los Angeles police officers. They made a fortune by stealing drugs & guns from their own police evidence lockers & selling them on the street (among other crimes).

Police corruption in the United States is not often reported on in the media, however cases of police brutality and corruption have been reported on, such as US police having faced killing charges.[201] Although not explicitly related to police corruption, a study identified 6,724 cases involving the arrests of 5,545 sworn officers across the nation between 2005 and 2011 for a variety of criminal acts.[202] That is, on average, police officers are getting arrested around 1,000 times per year. 41% of the total crimes were committed while the officers were on duty. A breakdown listed five main types of crimes:
  • sex-related police crime (1,475 arrest cases of 1,070 sworn officers)
  • alcohol-related police crime (1,405 arrest cases of 1,283 sworn officers)
  • drug-related police crime (739 arrest cases of 665 sworn officers)
  • violence-related police crime (3,328 arrest cases of 2,586 sworn officers)
  • profit-motivated police crime (1,592 cases of 1,396 officers)
