Hey, Humboldt! Do you recognize this sticky character?

This security camera footage from 4:55 a.m. on June 9 allegedly shows a ball-capped fellow squeezing glue into a door lock in Old Town’s Carson Block Building … which, if true, way sucks.

Help us bring his reign of adhesive terror to an end! Again, WHO IS THIS?

Shocking video below:

  1. Surely this guy can be found in footage from a surveillance camera capturing activity inside the building — surely he was inside in the past couple weeks and returned because he got pissed off at somebody. And, what, there’s no footage from cameras from other stores aimed at the street? And, in this day and age, why isn’t the video HD quality? Capture an excellent view of the perp for once.

  2. UMM:

    In answer to some of your comments, reviewing two weeks of footage would take many many hours, if you review at a slow enough speed to recognize anything that is. It seems that would not really be a good use of time since the individual glued three different business doors shut in the building, why would he do that if he was only “pissed” at one business?

    I can propose a different motivation, instead of “being pissed” at just one business. The Northcoast Journal informed me that they received a tip that someone wearing the same jacket and hat was spotted in the Occupy group in front of the Eureka Courthouse the morning after…

    Your comment about HD cameras is appropriate, we purchased the current system years ago. We had already started getting quotes on a replacement system before this happened. Unfortunately, we are a non-profit organization, these systems cost thousands of dollars, and funding for things like security cameras is hard to come by, (want to make a tax deductible donation HMM?) 🙂

    Nonetheless, we are working on getting a better system and cameras. Apparently, none of the other businesses on our street have security cameras. We were in contact with a business we know in old town that does has security cameras on 2nd st., but the suspect did not walk up or down 2nd so their footage did not help, although we REALLY appreciate them taking the time to check their footage for the morning of the incident for us.
