A woman who installed a webcam in her home tuned in while she was at work to see burglars robbing her house.
Jeanne Thomas, from Florida in the United States, watched online in real-time as the men ate food from her fridge, stole Nintendo games and scared her pets.
The 43-year-old immediately called police to raise the alarm.

"Yes. Hi. My name is Jeanne Thomas. I'm watching my home on live monitor and there's a man in my house and he's robbing it," she said.
"And the cat's like freaking out. No, he's walking next to my stereo. He's looking at my son's video games. He's rummaging through the house."
Eighteen police officers arrived and surrounded the house shortly afterwards.
Four men, aged 19 and 20, were charged with burglary and attempted grand theft.
