Jim Carlson, whose truck was targeted but remained locked, shared his concerns.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">&#8220;I&#8217;m sure he is going to do it again, of course he is going to do it again, but hopefully with all the Ring cameras and stuff like that they will be able to find out who he is and get this guy,&#8221; Carlson said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">After failing to break into Carlson\u2019s truck, the suspect reportedly tried to access a neighbor\u2019s vehicle but left when police arrived.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">&#8220;I was on my lanai with my gun protecting my property, and I seen a million dogs going up both sides of the canal,&#8221; Carlson said. &#8220;The guy did a Houdini act, I don&#8217;t know, but yeah, they need to get him, and I think they will.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">Cape Coral police are asking anyone who recognizes the man to contact them.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">DOWNLOAD\u202fthe free\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/qrco.de\/gcnapp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gulf Coast News app<\/a>\u202ffor your latest news and alerts on breaking news, weather, sports, entertainment, and more on your phone or tablet.
