It happened in my neighborhood a couple years ago. Several houses on my block got their cars broken into, and nobody's cameras saw a thing. Police said it was probably someone using a wifi jammer. Fortunately, my car didn't get hit. Right after that, I bought a couple cameras that have on-device recording, that way they work without wifi.
