A Brighton Beach family away on vacation was victimized by a burglar over the weekend, but the thief’s acts were all caught on a nanny cam.

On Satuday night around 9 p.m., the crook broke into the home of Alexey Chizhov by entering through a back window. He made off with cash, jewelry and computer, according to a Gothamist [report](http://gothamist.com/2013/05/11/video%5Fnanny%5Fcam%5Fcatches%5Fbrooklyn%5Fbu.php?utm%5Fsource=Gothamist+Daily&utm%5Fcampaign=55642c5821-RSS%5FEMAIL%5FCAMPAIGN&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fterm=0%5F73240544d8-55642c5821-114301).

There may not have been any lead on the thief’s identify, had Chizhov not turned on his nanny cam on a whim.

“That day when we were leaving to Washington, I decided to put it on. The cameras were not obtained for security purposes, because we’ve never had any burglars in our household, but I was like, ‘Why not?'” Chizhov [told NBC NY](http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Nanny-Cam-Burglar-Brooklyn-Computer-Brighton-Beach-206962901.html?ref=bklyner.com).

Anyone with information on the crime is encouraged to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. You can also visit the Crime Stoppers website by [clicking here](http://a056-crimestoppers.nyc.gov/crimestoppers/public/index.cfm?ref=bklyner.com).
