Officials say surveillance video shows Wilson trying to break into his passenger's San Mateo home but giving up after an alarm sounds. Police say Wilson then went to another home a few blocks away and was caught on video breaking in there.
The department says Wilson was arrested at his home, where detectives found some of the stuff stolen from the San Mateo home.
