WEBVTT NOTE duration:"00:01:44.8020000" NOTE recognizability:0.913 NOTE language:en-us NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.214 Thieves broke into a Habitat for NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:02.214 --> 00:00:03.690 Humanity construction site in NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:03.752 --> 00:00:05.930 Sacramento and made off with thousands NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:05.930 --> 00:00:08.040 of dollars in building materials. NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:09.888 I spoke to the nonprofit and NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:09.888 --> 00:00:11.601 volunteers today who want help NOTE Confidence: 0.9252095 00:00:11.601 --> 00:00:13.289 tracking down those responsible. NOTE Confidence: 0.85638833 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.098 We were just all like I said, NOTE Confidence: 0.85638833 00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.356 really deflated and just, you know. NOTE Confidence: 0.85638833 00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.960 Just kind of depressed about NOTE Confidence: 0.85638833 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.240 humanity. Jim Curtis is NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:22.520 a volunteer crew leader NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:23.800 with Habitat for Humanity, NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.720 a nonprofit that helps low income NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:26.680 families become homeowners. NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:28.619 He showed up to the build site NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:30.632 Wednesday only to find locks cut NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:30.632 --> 00:00:32.120 and building materials stolen. NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:33.400 We've had several times NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:35.640 where there's been theft at the site, NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.240 and they've put cameras in NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.214 and then we've worked with the NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:39.214 --> 00:00:41.074 Sacramento police to try to get, NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:43.320 you know, to try to stop it. NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.920 But it's happened again. This NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.268 is surveillance video of NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:46.268 --> 00:00:48.290 the thieves at work for now. NOTE Confidence: 0.9144585 00:00:48.290 --> 00:00:50.426 Curtis is giving them the benefit of the NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:52.302 doubt. I think that if those people that NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:54.172 did the theft if they actually realized NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:00:54.172 --> 00:00:56.300 what they were doing to these families, NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:00:56.300 --> 00:00:58.169 they probably would not have done it.

NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:01.910 --> 00:01:03.245 She thinks the thieves knew NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:03.245 --> 00:01:04.580 exactly what they were doing. NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:04.580 --> 00:01:06.449 I think it be very hard not NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.578 to know this was a habitat job site. NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:10.098 Given the posters that you see NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:10.098 --> 00:01:11.725 around as well as the truck NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:11.725 --> 00:01:13.120 that was stolen has habitat NOTE Confidence: 0.92081994 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.184 written all over it?
