Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is backyard robbery? Is it? Is it more prevalent than
I think it is.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You just don't hear about it, Like think back not
too long ago.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I say, not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's been months, but like remember when everybody was sending
us pictures. I can't remember how it came up, but
we were talking about people, excuse me, who have like
TVs in their backyards and setups to be able to
sit out back, which I'm fully envious of where you
could sit in the backyard and why not damn even
shoehorns got a TV in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
But like people sit.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Outside, or people have like nice bars in their backyard,
Like we saw a bunch of tiki bars that people
had set up. And again, I know this goes way
back when we were talking about it, but does does
stuff like that get stolen?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think it's presenting itself as a crime of opportunity.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, like people like you hear about people's packages being stolen,
people's cars, not just their cars.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Being stolen somebody on the no but inside.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Their cars being stolen. Do people's backyards just not get robbed?
Do people go like, oh you know what, like that's
that's off limits?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Stop, don't your home, but I won't just run through
the backyard.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I think a thief who doesn't want to break into
your house is more reluctant to go around the back
because they feel like it's not a quick exit or
as quick of an exit. Like somebody in the on
the listard was saying that somebody had they had left
their lawnmower out front and somebody stole that the other yeah, no,
kidd and they were pleading for it for it to
be returned because they thought somebody will get it back.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, we didn't mean it to be free on curb.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh so they so they thought maybe somebody thought it
was free for the taking in the middle of your yard.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I doubt they've gotten it back. God was it, though?
They did? They just they just said in our front yard. Yeah,
that's gone. Yeah, that's that's being on them. Yeah yeah
a hundred. Well no, it's not that I shouldn't know.
You can blame the victim on that one.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, people you should. People shouldn't steal from each other.
If we're all good people, we don't steal from each other.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
But if you leave it in the front yard, people.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Are going to steal in Yes, people are gonna steal.
People steal anything.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Bikes, scooters.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yes, yet all.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That crap gets stolen, but why not in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No stuff does get taken. Remember when I lived in Chicago,
they took my bike.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay, that was one hundred years ago. Hundred years. Hey, Kristen,
will you do me a fair? Will you see if
you can find me somebody who's had their backyard robbed.
Here's why I'm asking. I was reading about this family
out of Waldorf, least likely place I would think somebody
(02:36):
would get robbed. What's the guy's name, Gregory Gomez. So
he lives in He lives in Waldorf, right, and he's
selling his house. He was selling his house and so
the the like, he thought that they had a buyer
for the house and that the time was coming up
when they had to leave. So and he had another
(02:56):
place that he was going. So he he he had
a contrac whatever it was, on the house. And he's
got a big what do you call what do you
call like that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
It's less set?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Say again, a playset, Yeah, but it's like swings and
a slide and like a climbing tower like it is
legit playset in the backyard, like that thing is big, big,
I say it right here. So anyway, he moves out
of the house, right, he moves out of the house.
And sometime between July twentieth when the when when people
(03:28):
had come through, like his real estate agent had come
through the house, and then July twenty fourth, or maybe
it was when the one of them was like getting
the yard cut.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
One of them was like a real estate agent. I
don't remember which one was first.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But in those four days, the whole the entire playset
was removed from his backyard. That's work disassembled. It was disassembled.
So somebody went in the backyard. They took the entire
thing apart and then had a U haul like they
talked to neighbors, and neighbors thought, well, somebody took it down.
They're moving, So somebody nobody took it down. People went
(04:01):
in the backyard, they disassembled it. A U haul shows
up in the front people carry it all the way out,
put it in the U haul and take off like
they did a full job of disassembling that thing and
taking it right.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So earlier I spoke of crimes of opportunity. That's not
what this is.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, no, oh, I left my place set in the yard.
Well no, duh, And they, oh, you know what it was.
It was the It was the maintenance or the lawn
company that found it because they were walking through the
backyard and they hit one of the stakes that was
holding the play set down. Yep, well that I'd never seen,
(04:40):
but that caught me thinking, like, I feel bad, right,
I mean, I'm sure that thing was expensive as hell
to have put in the backyard, but somebody went in
their backyard and stole that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And like you said, it's not just say you carry out.
They dismantled it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh yeah, no, they they brought tools, like they took
it apart.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Because I was thinking, sometimes when you have a backyard television,
it is mounted and it may be a little more
difficult to take. But this makes it seem like a
TV would be easy pickings because this thing is enormous.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
This is ours, This is ours to disassemble.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I could have I could have shoehorns, TV down and
in my car in five minutes.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know what his setup is, but I don't
care if I break the post that it's on now,
you said, he And if Josh comes out to try
to get me, I'll.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Break his face.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You said he thought that the home sale was final.
Did the people did the buyers bailed because there was
no normal.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They did bail on the place side. But the contract
fell through. Yeah, no, the contract fell through.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's a nice thing for kids. Yeah, you have to
build it yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
No, well, and I know somebody who took it. They
probably come put it back together for you.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Wait, what is this?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There was a custom solar power light system.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
What is that? That was on the place rilled into
the roof of the place set. Wait say that again.
He had put.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
A solar powered light system that he built himself into
the playset.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
For all those midnight swings.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Well, what do I know?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
What do I need in the fall? Solar powered lightset?
Go outside and play?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, now I'm mad at him. The no, But that's
I've never heard of that before. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So this was modified even after purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't think I mean, it made me want it
that much more so I just went to the backyard
and took it. But again, somebody went in their backyard
and took the entire thing. I don't know why you
think backyards are off limits because there's a fence. Well,
there is a fence, but everybody sending pictures of TVs
and and tiki bars, like there's liquor back there, and
(06:48):
I know you can lock it, but you know what,
I have bolt cutter?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Goodbye?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
What about like just grills? Yes, that seems like it's
a lot lighter than place that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The well, not a smoker, like if you got like
an egg or that what is that kamamado or something
like that?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Head is heavier. Yeah, not not in pieces. Not in pieces.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's right, you're gonna dismantle those.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Those smokers are heavy, but no grills. Absolutely, Where am
I going? Kristen Line one, Hi Elliet.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
In the morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, I was gonna say, yes, sir, good morning. Yeah
I was. Quite often some of those grills are very existent,
Like you were talking about the smokers and then look,
hey who or what? But I remember some folks in
high school had bolt cutters to grab certain so.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
They would go into people's backyards and start stealing all
that stuff. Yeah, dude, do you know how pissed I
would be if I went into the backyard and the
smoker was gone.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I would be furious, chained up chained up.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, oh, you just think like, oh, it's too heavy.
It's very heavy. It's very heavy.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So were these people armed with bowl cutters because there
was a spree of stolen grills in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, why are they bringing bolt cutters to steal a grill?
Great question?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, like that doesn't make any sense to me. Like
I know, like therapy, a thank you, sir, thank you,
like my grill.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
My girl's not going anywhere. My girl's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And you say that because of why oh.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Just the way that just the way that it's built
in in the backyard. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh it's not just sitting by itself.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
The no, no, no, but I mean I guess they
could rip the grill out of the little thing that
it's in, right, But shame on them.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
There's gonna be a natural gas leak.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Sounds like their problem.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Now, I will say this, I want one of the
I want like a flat top grill in the backyard.
I may go get one this weekend, just walking through
the neighborhood and see what's out there?
Speaker 1 (08:59):

out of my backyard.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
By the way, I that should have been top of mind.
But how are you stealing a trampoline?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
They literally put it on its side and rolled it
down the road. You saw the you saw the marks
and the grass from where they rolled it out.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's funny. The do you know how pissed I would be?
Do you know how ang?
Speaker 2 (09:45):

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Wait, which one's better? Random stranger? I feel no, I'd
be furious. I mean that's somebody you invited into your
house and they stole from you. I'd rather some nameless,
faceless thug steal the steal my stuff.

because maybe they used the bathroom or saw other stuff
in your house, and that they want you have no
problem ripping you off.

Hey Elliott, Hey, who's this. I didn't have I don't

steal anything for me. But I stole my neighbor's firepit
before he knew. And when he asked me about it,
I meant I don't know, and I knew he didn't
ever bring camera, but I parked it at my brother's house,
so I knew he was definitely out of out of
(14:26):
down now speaking mountain hold on. So, speaking of my brother,
my brother was renting a townhouse from a couple while
he was living there. He was there about five years back.
The owner sold it to a new owner, and my

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Hey? Elliott? Eric up in Baltimore all the time, listener.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Hey, thank you, sir, appreciate it. You get your backyard, rob.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I got an interesting story. So thirty years ago I
worked at one of the big box retail stories, right Improvement. Sure,
And I'm helping the customer who's buying a grill, and
just in conversation, he's buying a grill because his old
one was stolen off his deck. He lived in a
townhouse community, someone stole his grill. Very strange, you know,
So on the grill in life goes on. About two
(15:53):
weeks later, I see the same guy at my store
and he's returning the grill he bought. I said, well,
what's up. Didn't it work? No, no, no, the strangest thing.
I came home from work and my grill was back
and opened the grill. Inside was an apology note and
four tickets to the Oriels game. The apology note was,
we're having a party. Grill broke, you weren't home, need
(16:13):
of yours. Sorry about the confusion. Hope this space up
for it. Oh my god, oh my god, hold on,
hold on, so the game is whatever. A month later,
I see the guy a month later in my store
and again I fired a conversation. He went to that
Oriol game, and when he came home his house was
cleaned out. Unbelievable. So the robber knew he had, you know,
(16:44):
three hours all to himself. Wow, wow, emptied his house.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh my god, that is that is that may be
the best damn I've ever heard of in my life.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And you know what, like listen, that sucks for the guy,
Like that really sucks. But that's somebody. That's somebody who
put in the work to make sure that he was
going to have time to empty out the house. Like
that's at least a working thief right there. They put
in the work.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Wow.
Is backyard robbery? Is it? Is it more prevalent than
I think it is.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You just don't hear about it, Like think back not
too long ago.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I say, not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's been months, but like remember when everybody was sending
us pictures. I can't remember how it came up, but
we were talking about people, excuse me, who have like

sit out back, which I'm fully envious of where you
could sit in the backyard and why not damn even
shoehorns got a TV in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
But like people sit.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Outside, or people have like nice bars in their backyard,
Like we saw a bunch of tiki bars that people
had set up. And again, I know this goes way
back when we were talking about it, but does does
stuff like that get stolen?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think it's presenting itself as a crime of opportunity.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, like people like you hear about people's packages being stolen,
people's cars, not just their cars.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Being stolen somebody on the no but inside.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Their cars being stolen. Do people's backyards just not get robbed?
Do people go like, oh you know what, like that's
that's off limits?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Stop, don't your home, but I won't just run through

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh so they so they thought maybe somebody thought it
was free for the taking in the middle of your yard.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I doubt they've gotten it back. God was it, though?
They did? They just they just said in our front yard. Yeah,
that's gone. Yeah, that's that's being on them. Yeah yeah
a hundred. Well no, it's not that I shouldn't know.
You can blame the victim on that one.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, people you should. People shouldn't steal from each other.
If we're all good people, we don't steal from each other.

Yes, yet all.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That crap gets stolen, but why not in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No stuff does get taken. Remember when I lived in Chicago,
they took my bike.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay, that was one hundred years ago. Hundred years. Hey, Kristen,
will you do me a fair? Will you see if
you can find me somebody who's had their backyard robbed.
Here's why I'm asking. I was reading about this family

backyard and they hit one of the stakes that was
holding the play set down. Yep, well that I'd never seen,
(04:40):
but that caught me thinking, like, I feel bad, right,
I mean, I'm sure that thing was expensive as hell
to have put in the backyard, but somebody went in
their backyard and stole that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And like you said, it's not just say you carry out.
They dismantled it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh yeah, no, they they brought tools, like they took
it apart.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Because I was thinking, sometimes when you have a backyard television,
it is mounted and it may be a little more
difficult to take. But this makes it seem like a
TV would be easy pickings because this thing is enormous.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
This is ours, This is ours to disassemble.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I could have I could have shoehorns, TV down and
in my car in five minutes.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I don't know what his setup is, but I don't
care if I break the post that it's on now,
you said, he And if Josh comes out to try
to get me, I'll.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Break his face.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You said he thought that the home sale was final.
Did the people did the buyers bailed because there was
no normal.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
They did bail on the place side. But the contract
fell through. Yeah, no, the contract fell through.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's a nice thing for kids. Yeah, you have to
build it yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
No, well, and I know somebody who took it. They
probably come put it back together for you.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Wait, what is this?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There was a custom solar power light system.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
What is that? That was on the place rilled into
the roof of the place set. Wait say that again.
He had put.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
A solar powered light system that he built himself into
the playset.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
For all those midnight swings.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Well, what do I know?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
What do I need in the fall? Solar powered lightset?
Go outside and play?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, now I'm mad at him. The no, But that's
I've never heard of that before. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So this was modified even after purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't think I mean, it made me want it
that much more so I just went to the backyard
and took it. But again, somebody went in their backyard
and took the entire thing. I don't know why you
think backyards are off limits because there's a fence. Well,
there is a fence, but everybody sending pictures of TVs
and and tiki bars, like there's liquor back there, and
(06:48):
I know you can lock it, but you know what,
I have bolt cutter?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Goodbye?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
What about like just grills? Yes, that seems like it's
a lot lighter than place that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The well, not a smoker, like if you got like
an egg or that what is that kamamado or something
like that?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Head is heavier. Yeah, not not in pieces. Not in pieces.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's right, you're gonna dismantle those.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Those smokers are heavy, but no grills. Absolutely, Where am
I going? Kristen Line one, Hi Elliet.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
In the morning, good morning.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Yeah, I was gonna say, yes, sir, good morning. Yeah
I was. Quite often some of those grills are very existent,
Like you were talking about the smokers and then look,
hey who or what? But I remember some folks in
high school had bolt cutters to grab certain so.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
They would go into people's backyards and start stealing all
that stuff. Yeah, dude, do you know how pissed I
would be if I went into the backyard and the
smoker was gone.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I would be furious, chained up chained up.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, oh, you just think like, oh, it's too heavy.
It's very heavy. It's very heavy.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So were these people armed with bowl cutters because there
was a spree of stolen grills in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, why are they bringing bolt cutters to steal a grill?
Great question?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, like that doesn't make any sense to me. Like
I know, like therapy, a thank you, sir, thank you,
like my grill.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
My girl's not going anywhere. My girl's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And you say that because of why oh.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Just the way that just the way that it's built
in in the backyard. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh it's not just sitting by itself.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
The no, no, no, but I mean I guess they
could rip the grill out of the little thing that
it's in, right, But shame on them.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
There's gonna be a natural gas leak.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Sounds like their problem.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Now, I will say this, I want one of the
I want like a flat top grill in the backyard.
I may go get one this weekend, just walking through
the neighborhood and see what's out there?

out of my backyard.
Speaker 2 (09:23):

But how are you stealing a trampoline?
Speaker 5 (09:29):

faceless thug steal the steal my stuff.

in your house, and that they want you have no

Hey Elliott, Hey, who's this. I didn't have I don't
want to say so I had. I didn't have someone
steal anything for me. But I stole my neighbor's firepit
before he knew. And when he asked me about it,
I meant I don't know, and I knew he didn't
ever bring camera, but I parked it at my brother's house,
so I knew he was definitely out of out of
(14:26):
down now speaking mountain hold on. So, speaking of my brother,
my brother was renting a townhouse from a couple while
he was living there. He was there about five years back.
The owner sold it to a new owner, and my
brother at least carried over for another year. When my
brother was leaving, there was one of those like six

Hey? Elliott? Eric up in Baltimore all the time, listener.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Hey, thank you, sir, appreciate it. You get your backyard, rob.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I got an interesting story. So thirty years ago I
worked at one of the big box retail stories, right Improvement. Sure,
And I'm helping the customer who's buying a grill, and
just in conversation, he's buying a grill because his old
one was stolen off his deck. He lived in a
townhouse community, someone stole his grill. Very strange, you know,
So on the grill in life goes on. About two
(15:53):
weeks later, I see the same guy at my store
and he's returning the grill he bought. I said, well,
what's up. Didn't it work? No, no, no, the strangest thing.
I came home from work and my grill was back
and opened the grill. Inside was an apology note and
four tickets to the Oriels game. The apology note was,
we're having a party. Grill broke, you weren't home, need
(16:13):
of yours. Sorry about the confusion. Hope this space up
for it. Oh my god, oh my god, hold on,
hold on, so the game is whatever. A month later,
I see the guy a month later in my store
and again I fired a conversation. He went to that
Oriol game, and when he came home his house was
cleaned out. Unbelievable. So the robber knew he had, you know,
(16:44):
three hours all to himself. Wow, wow, emptied his house.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh my god, that is that is that may be
the best damn I've ever heard of in my life.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And you know what, like listen, that sucks for the guy,
Like that really sucks. But that's somebody. That's somebody who
put in the work to make sure that he was
going to have time to empty out the house. Like
that's at least a working thief right there. They put
in the work.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Wow.
