JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Five people were caught on video rummaging through a man's truck parked in his own Southside driveway.

The victim is just thankful the people didn't get inside his home, where his wife and young daughters were sleeping.

The incident happened early Wednesday morning off Baymeadows Road.

One of the suspects attempted to use a garage door opener, trying to get inside his home.

“In the video, you saw the kid take the garage opener and click it. So I don't know what they would've done if the garage had opened,” said neighbor Justin Dewey. “This really just needs to stop, and they need to get caught.”

The victim said the people didn’t get anything valuable.

One other truck was targeted on the same street. Nothing of value was reportedly taken from that victim, either.
