Dietz said he woke up around 8:30 a.m. Friday and noticed his surveillance cameras weren’t working.

“I got up this morning and checked the monitor on the cameras and noticed I couldn’t see anything,” Dietz said.

He went outside to check the cameras and found a man inside the back of his storage unit, just feet from his front door.
“I asked him what he was doing in there and he said he was just looking around,” Dietz said.

He called 911 but the robber wasn’t going away without a fight.
