Speaker 2 (00:03):
A man who's used a novel technique to stop some retrobates,
reprobates stealing his car, his pride and joy.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
So what he did these people came in to steal
his luxury car. He didn't use a gun, he didn't
use a knife. He started barking like a dog.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
A scare tactic. These would be thieves didn't see, but
most definitely heard coming. What began as a seemingly all
too common luxury car heist quickly turned into a rough
night for two hooded bandits, one darting across the car
before scaling the closed gate, the second following closely behind

(00:41):
before the homeowner then emerges.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
A talking dog. Nonetheless, why is he that on bluey?
Do you think he's going to take on the talking dog?
Man as a mean to that? Screams co Lab who
let those two dogs out? Scared off the back, scared

the bed. He's off. Thwarted a crime. That's always great
to thwart a crime.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Have you ever thought I've never thwarted a crime? Haven't
you fashion crime? I've said to my friend, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Not wearing that. That's good thwarting.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I remember one time we're doing When I write for
Lyft to Ride magazine and we're doing Bike of the
Year and we're down the South coast.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Someone got to steal your bike.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
No, no, The local fish and chip owner, Pugsy, the
editor of the magazines, are standing there having a smoke
and he hears this cry, stop that kid. Stop that kid,
and Pugsy turned around and literally took the kid out
by accident, you know, set him sprawling on the foot.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
The kid had ripped off the guy's takings from his
fish and chip shop that he might have stolen a scollar.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
And then Life came along and just sat another person
from Lyft to right sat on him.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, until the police arrived. I don't got him loaf
for nothing.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
It's kind of like citizens arrest.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
That's kind of weird too, because when we're holding the kid,
you know, and Life was just sitting on him, of
those kids going off like a cracker, and I said, okay,
they just calm down.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know, you've been caught. You're trying to rip off
this pool guy's taking.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
And yet in the modern world, you'd have to be careful,
don't you, because he might say, excuse me, I didn't
take I wasn't taking anything, and now a big man
is sitting on me. Another man's smoking in my face. Well,
I don't know what that thirty is doing.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
All these guys, all these guys look like outlaw bikes
because they probably were at the time.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
And you know, so he was thwarting.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Did they use the word thwart I've thwarted a crime?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, I remember saying, hey, pucks, are you thwarted a crime?
Having a smoke? And I turned around very quickly.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
But none the less, None the less, the kid went
and faced justice for about ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Is probably out in the street again looking for you.
But we did our best.
