Another Christmas break-in story

Here's another classic Christmas break-in story. Yet again, we have a homeowner working with an anonymous security company, and the incredibly incurious reporter doesn't bother to investigate further into this technology that allows the homeowner to view video cameras over the web. Ho hum, why bother reporting on the interesting part of the story?
Especially when you can make awesome sentences like these:
Treanor has changed his locks, deadbolts and installed motion lights around his home, however, these aren't not the only steps he's taking to protect himself.
and
Moreover, the cameras will allow him to view whatever the camera has record even if they get stolen.
The second is particularly nice. Not only do we get a butchered past participle, but we also get subject-pronoun disagreement and confusion. Brilliant.
People wonder why the evening news isn't taken seriously....
