(00:00):
Kristen, can you turn yourself onfor a secondly from everything there? She
is? Hi, Kristin, howare you good? How are you good?
So yesterday yesterday? Was it yesterdayor the day before? We were
talking. Christin was talking about allthe crime that has taken place in her
neighborhood, her neighborhood, our neighborhood, like right where we are. Was
(00:22):
that just the other day in theday, Yeah, that we were talking
about how there was like break insand then that the beer and mind place
got it and stuff like that.Yeah, Ethan Allen, Oh, that's
right, the brick outside of EthanAllen had gotten it. And then what
happened yesterday? Mike's motorcycle was stolen. Isn't that crazy? Wow? Right
(00:42):
out of the parking garage of theof the apartment building. Yes, and
you said he parks over where likea bunch of them have motorcycles. Yeah,
there's like six to eight. Theydon't all park in this one specific
area. There's probably like five,right, the six that are always there.
And you have to remember too,because I had to remember that this
(01:06):
is technically a public parking garage becauseof all the retail stores that the apartment
is above. So there's no separationbetween where residents park and where where like
retail parks. Correct, there's noseparation like for example, at the when
were we just at the wharf?What were we there for, Jack Antonoff?
(01:30):
Yeah, that's exactly right. Whenwe were there for and Off,
I parked in the I parked underneaththe wharf, which I hate doing.
I hate to it's so goddamn expensive. But I parked under there. But
there's also residences and they have likea separate level. Yeah. Right,
And they'll even tell you because Italked to somebody. They were like,
don't follow somebody down there and thinkyou're getting away with it because they like
(01:53):
getting out. It's like a wholescan thing. But but I think,
but it's separate. When I livedin Virginia, didn't you park in my
building to go to moby Dick?Yeah? So I set up very similar
Kristin, but that but but itwas set up as a public parking garage,
as Moby Dick was on the lowerlevel of my building. Right,
(02:13):
But there was But what I'm sayingis there was no there was not another
entry for for residents, right,So so but how does that affect.
Somebody still stole the motorcycle, sowhat, I don't care whether what it's
set up for. Yeah, soit's there are two levels and normally the
residents go down to P two,but they will recommend, oh, if
it's too full, go up toP one, right, which is where
(02:36):
Safeway and all the retailers take theelevator up there. But yeah, so
it's gated or like, is thatwhat you call the arm that goes up
and down. The first two hoursare free and then it I forget.
It's like six dollars for et cetera. Right, So, yeah, so
the motorcycle is parked down with allthe other ones. Mike was out of
(03:00):
town this week, got in yesterdayand he got home and went down there
and the bike cover was on theground with the license plate. So that
was nice of whoever stole it toat least leave his No, I really
do, I really do. That'skind of him. With the bolts were
(03:22):
still there as well, And therewas a little note on the license from
one of his fellow one of ourneighbors who live in our building. His
name is Stan. He's been sohelpful in great What was his note?
It said, whe So Stan,you know, said which bike he owned
(03:46):
and gave his number. So Mikecalled and said, you know what's going
on? And he said, Inoticed I was down there the Tuesday night
between like four thirty right, andI saw the bike was still there.
And then Stan told Mike yesterday,which was Thursday, that the last he
(04:09):
saw it, or he got homeWednesday at six and noticed the bike was
gone and that the bike cover wasthere. Oh, no kidding, but
he probably thought Mike had just takenthe cover off and went for a ride.
Yeah, but he also noticed anda couple of the other bikers down
there saw that one of the othermotorcycles cover was off and missing. So
(04:30):
they came in. They got acouple of bikes. They didn't take that
bike. Oh, they just tookthe cover. It just took the cover.
So they took the covers to seewhat was hidden. Yes, is
what we're assuming. Do you dothey think that because that cover was missing
and Mike's bike was taken but hiscover? Do people think that people like
Mike's bike but just not his cover. So they took the other cover.
(04:53):
It's a better cover for the bike, that's exactly. So Mike Mike just
has like, oh he's got badtaste in the cover. I was going
to go there a different way.Oh they liked the cover, but there
was nothing to hold it up,so was still a motorcycle. What if
what if they were worried is whenthey were when they were taking it,
would somebody have have seen it.But later that doesn't make they kind of
(05:15):
like thought they would throw it likeit's a switcher room, right, you
know, like you could maybe seelike the bottom part of the bike and
say, oh, well, yeahthat's my bike, but that's not the
cover. It must be somebody elsewho has the same bike, right,
you know what I mean. ButI know very little about motorcycles. Some
would say nothing, do all coversfit this motorcycle? No, they are
are different sizes. Yeah, kindof it. Also, it depends a
(05:36):
lot of It can depend on thestyle of bike you have. It could
depend on whether you've got a windshield, whether you've got a sissy bar,
whether it is a crotch rocket.Like, there's all different kinds of covers
for bikes. So I know youlaughed at Diane's theory, which she almost
gave up way gave up on halfwaythrough, but maybe there's something there.
Well, so the bike, theother bike that is there that the cover
(05:59):
was still on, that brand ofthe bike is on the cover where Mike
just got his off of Amazon.So it's no generic. Yeah, and
it's because it's just a cover andit wraps the whole thing so you can't
even see the color. Like hisbike is very you see it. It's
Neon green. So you see it? Can I correct something? Oh?
(06:20):
Yes, was was? No,it's oh I guess no, it still
is Neon green. It's just nothis bike. It's still his. It's
just in someone else's hands. No, No, but I know what you
mean, Like like my cover doesn'tsay hardly on it anywhere, but it
went all the way to the ground, like you had to lift up the
(06:40):
cover to see what was underneath it. And remember Kristen said like he had
been traveling for the week, sohe comes back to this. Yeah,
well, there's no good time torealize your stuff has been stolen. Were
home? No, if anything,you'd be like I was home and this
happened right under my nose. Well, and the other thing is the bike
has a tracker on it, right, but even yesterday it still says a
(07:03):
live feed. It is at theapartment. It's charged ninety percent. Wait,
so where's the tracker? It's in. You have to pull like parts
of the bike apart to get thetracker, So then why is it still
registering that it's It might park thebike someplace different than normal and forget you
(07:24):
just forgot we And that's the otherthing. We walked yesterday when I got
home. We walked every corner ofboth levels. We walked the surrounding apartment
buildings, just walking around just tosee. And again it's super bright,
so it's not like it's yeah,right hidden or anything. But I don't
understand the tracker thing still shows thatit's there. So he's in contact with
(07:47):
them, the tracking company, justto see like s excess whistle the another
client. Oh they're rolling in today, they're rolling in. That's weird.
Yeah, no, that's very bizarreor whatever. You know something about motorcycles.
Be like, I get it,because I can say that too,
But to me that is baffling.Yeah, no, I'm with you that
(08:09):
it would show. And that's why, like if you said it was like
an air tag type thing, it'dbe like, oh well then just ditch
it right, just leave it withthe cover, Yeah, and you're good,
they won't know. But if it'sbuilt into even if it's a secondary
piece, but you have to buildit into the bike, Yeah, you'd
have to take that off of thebike and leave it there before you could
(08:30):
go. When it detect that movement, Yes, it detects Like every I
was telling Tyler, like even alittle shove of the bike, he gets
alerts. That did he get analert when it was getting stolen? He
didn't, So that's why I wonderif like it's defected. But also like
you know what i'd look for ina suspect inside job gingerbread man Costah,
(08:52):
that's the thing in his hand,the box. Well, that doesn't make
any sense if it's supposed to detectmotion, like if somebody, if somebody
Jimmy's the bike. Why why weren'tyou getting alerts? I don't know,
because he's even asked me, likewhen he's off to travel, He's like,
hey, I just wanted to makesure the sensor's working. Can you
go, like move it and evenif you like remove, it's so sensitive
(09:13):
removing the cover. He gets analert there when he first started parking it
there. You could tell he wasgetting alerts that people were touching it or
trying to see what was under there, right, and then the other guys
were like, oh, yeah,that was us. We just wanted to
see what it was. So hewas He's like, why are you touching
my b that's my bike? Yeah? Right, No, I get when
(09:33):
he in the past, biggus Elliott'smade note of it not being his bike
anymore. When you've gone down totest, do you take it out?
It is so to me it's soheavy, it's four hundred pounds, but
that's technically like it's a speed it'sa race. Do you ride it?
(09:54):
Not? This one his last onebecause it was two seater, that thing.
I'm like, okay, can youcan you get that one back?
Well, now you have that opportunityagain. Yeah. The sad thing about
this because he's been so calm throughall of this, right, he's just
like Mike is liked that where he'scalm, and then in a flip of
a switch, he'll punch his fistthrough the backside of your head. With
(10:18):
a conversation like this trigger that likedoes he want to hit Elliott? Has
he texted you yet? No?Not Elliott just the no, No,
he probably wants to punch the guywho stole the bike, not the guy
who's trying to be helpful. Butthat's the other thing. It's like,
it's this specific bike he got ridof, the last one that I loved,
(10:41):
right for his dream. He lovesthis bike. This is his dream.
He told me at the wedding thatyou were the runner up to the
bike of things that he wanted tomarry. I believe it. And it's
a rare bike. They've only madeone or this was one of five hundred
in the world, right, soit's it's it's his baby. How about
(11:01):
that it just some random stranger ownsit. But here's the other thing.
Oh yes, it's so locked toeven move it. Okay, thank you,
because I was gonna ask him becauseI don't know. I don't I
don't know who makes the bike,and you don't have to say like but
like, for for example, onmine, I can lock there's two locks.
I can lock the engine right orwhere the where the ignition is to
(11:24):
be able to turn it on andgo. But also I can I can
lock the front wheel and lock itso that it turns to the like the
wheel turns to the left or theright, but it turns to the left,
I can lock the wheel and unlessyou unlock it, if you're gonna
steal my bike, you're going ina circle circle. Yes, So I
hope that in some case you helixup into whatever you're stealing with. But
(11:46):
it's it's locked. Does his bikelock yes? And man, he lock
it yes, And he said theonly way for them to be able to
move it is to break the lock. So we are we're assuming, and
we're in car intact. He's contactedpolice. The Rockville police are awesome.
We knew that they were busy becauseof the incident at the Rockville Town Center
(12:07):
yesterday, right, and they toldus they're like, we're not going to
come out because we're dealing with otherstuff. But it's just they're like,
oh, we'll look for it.But the issue is we think it was
taken by a van. Because ofthat, it was locked. There's no
way that they would have been ableto Oh I'm sure it was transported out
of there. Yes, I'm surethat's the case. So we're trying to
(12:30):
and again, insurance has been everybody'sbeen contacted from Instagram. Oh yes,
my motorcycle was stolen out of asimilar gated situation. Typically stolen during the
day, impersonating some sort of maintenanceworker. They drive them with a van
and steal it. Mine, though, ended up being an inside job.
(12:50):
Wait from the apartment building. Yeah, and was covered with a signal blocking
tarp. Oh wow. Oh whenthey stole it, they threw they threw
a signal blocking tarp on it.Yeah, that's interesting. That's interesting.
That's like one of those zap bagswhere when you when that keeps the the
(13:11):
detectors from going off when you stealmerchandise. But when you're nosing the tracker,
they just peeked under it. Wouldn'tit detect that tart being thrown?
Isn't that it? Or does thatsignal get blocked immediately? I don't know
how that works. There's something withno, but keep in mind some some's
jimmied up there because the tracker stillsays that it's there. Did you look
(13:31):
up? I haven't done anything tolike to the ceiling. Yeah, oh
look at you, investigator. Noyou still want to punch me down.
No, that's good though, that'sgood, But that the cop was like,
hey, just want to be honest. With you. You ain't finding
(13:52):
the bike, No, and they'llthey're probably selling the pieces off because to
move to jimmy it it's broken.Yeah no you gotta you gotta start breaking.
Yeah yeah, no, I'm sure. And listen a lot of times
you don't want it back. Iknow it's one of five hundred, but
you don't want to back all trashedup and everything. That's the thing.
He's like, somebody has my bot, that's my bike. So he's that's
what he's down about. I mean, not in the finder keepers world.
(14:16):
Really, somebody else's. It's gettingready to be just an insurance check the
So what do you do now?Nothing? How long do you have to
wait? There was no time?Oh really yeah, and the insurance has
taken their on time getting that courseof course. That sucks though. I
don't like that. It just likeI don't like I also don't like that.
(14:37):
Now, all I think it isis an inside job with a zap
tarb. That was one message Iknow, but I mean that makes sense,
Like you try to figure out howis all that getting done? And
you're right, it's got to bea van or something something that'll haul it
off. Well, that's the otherthing. I told him, I said,
I wonder if somebody has been planningthis, because his bike is a
very rare bike, and everybody wheneveryou see it, people are always asking
(15:01):
him who are other fellow bikers.They're like, you know, they ask
all this info like it's so cool, blah blah blah. So I told
him, I said, I wonderif it's somebody who's been a guest here
or has definitely scoped the area outto at least, you know, because
it has had to happen either withinthe hours of Tuesday right to Wednesday night.
(15:22):
How often does he write it?He tries to write it as much
as possible. When it's the weather'sa bit today would be an awesome day
to ride. I know. Well, no, I mean just because it's
nice, it's gonna be like,well, anyway, the hopefully who ever
has it is, I'll shake myfist at them too. No, but
(15:45):
you know what, like I likethat idea. I just I mean,
yes, it is a rare bike. But I would bet it was just
somebody who was like, it's acrime of opportunity. You know, it's
covered. We'll just rip the coveroff the thing, rip plates off the
thing and just haul it out ofhere and we'll be good to go.
I mean, I I'd love tothink like it was targeted because it is
(16:07):
a nice bike and it's rare,but it's probably just you know what,
this one's out, that one's out. Just take the cover off and let's
go. Well, here's the funnypart of it. So the neighbor Stan
has been like so again super helpfulwith Mike and said that the building has
allowed everybody with all of those motorcyclesto now move them indoor to where all
(16:33):
the little kid bikes are. Sohe sent a photo yesterday and it's like
massive motorcycle, massive motorcycle next toa little like two year old's bike and
it's hilarious. Well that's all.Well, I mean, that's awesome for
everybody that still has a bio exactly. He's like, I wish I would
have known about this, Yeah,before you move us in beforehand and tell
one of those little kids, islike Peev Herman in Domino. All right,
(16:59):
well you'll let us know, you'lllet us know. That sucks.
Yeah, that sucks. Well I'msorry for Mike. Actually, I'm sorry
if Mike ever finds the guy whodid it. That's who I feel sorry
me too.
