The man gives up and walks away, apparently when the homeowner came out, on the video posted on YouTube:

Democrat Council President Chris Tully and Arvin Amatorio say they know the perpetatrator, who they said is 50 years old with a distinct walk and “glaring” bald spot.”

The homeowner has filed a trespassing and attempted theft complaint with police, they said.

Tully and Amatorio called on their Republican opponents, Councilwoman Kathy Sahlberg and former Councilwoman Pat Walsh-Nardini, to condemn such attempt to “suppress” their message.
