Never Underestimate Annoyed Amish Businessmen

Religions and their loopholes:
NICKEL MINES, Pa. -- An Amish businessman, fed up with repeated burglaries at his Lancaster County store, set up a video surveillance system and captured an image of the suspected thief.

State police said someone has been breaking into four Amish businesses in the Georgetown area, near Nickel Mines, since October of last year. The burglaries continued until January of this year. One store was hit six times, according to police.

..."(The thief) might think it's an easy mark to go back to, but that's not the case anymore," Lt. Tracy Brown.

Amish tradition forbids taking photos of themselves, but some Amish business owners told News 8 that they have no problem taking someone else's picture -- especially if it helps catch a crook.
