Help Police Pinch Pillow Pilferer

Man on video seen taking property, wandering between homes on King Street in Morristown.

Perhaps he liked the pattern. Or perhaps he needed a comfortable place to rest his head, but regardless of the reason an unidentified man arrived uninvited on the porch of 30 King St. in Morristown at 1:25 a.m. Monday morning and made off with a pillow.

What the pillow pilferer did not know, was the homeowner had a video camera installed.

The footage showed a man in a white cap, white jacket, jeans and boots walking on to the porch and taking the pillow before walking down the driveway between 30 and 28 King St. Approximately a minute later, he is seen walking back down the driveway toward Morris Avenue.

The homeowner said the pillow isn't a big deal but the concern was the man in the video appeared to be "checking out other houses."

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Morristown Police at 973-538-2200.
