Dealing drugs, ditching stolen cars, and carrying stacks of stolen bikes — these bizarre and often illegal acts have played out on video near one south Minneapolis lawn all year.

“Karen the Camera” has recorded it all. “Karen” is an elaborate security system that was set up by the homeowners who live near a light rail stop. They don’t want to be specific about their location due to safety concerns. It’s also why we are not using their names. They were guests on the Liz Collin Reports podcast to discuss what they’ve recorded and posted to their popular Instagram page that’s currently followed by more than 5,000 people.
