A woman in Zhongxian county, Chongqing municipality, installed an online video camera at home and captured her housekeeper stealing.

Yang, who is in the rice business, recently discovered that 40,000 yuan ($5,857) was missing from her safe. There was no sign of forced entry.

Yang installed a video camera on her computer at home and linked it with her office computer. She saw the woman opening the safe and confronted her.

The servant surnamed Fan, 42, who had worked for Yang for three years, confessed that she made duplicate keys to the safe and remembered the passwords. During a three-month period, she took 48,378 yuan from the safe on 10 occasions.
