If you're out in public places -- you better bet there's a surveillance camera capturing at least some of your moves. Now, police are hoping some of that video will help catch a thief... but they need your help to identify him.

The South Charleston Police Department has named the driver of the pickup truck pictured below one of Charleston's Most Wanted.

Detectives say he used a stolen credit at both the Speedway in South Charleston -- and the U-Haul dealer in Jefferson.

The crime happened on October 13, 2007, at about 10:30am. Police say the credit card was stolen from someone at a Tudor's Biscuit World.

At the U-Haul dealer, police say the suspect had a tow dolly installed on the pickup truck.

In all: police say he cashed in a couple hundred dollars before the owner of the credit card canceled it.

The pickup truck is described as a gray Dodge, mid to late 80's model -- with a long wheel base -- and it appears to have a lift kit installed. There appears to be tires in the bed of the truck in the surveillance pictures.

If you can help police identify the owner of the truck, please call them at (304) 744-5951.
