Speaker 3 (02:10):
One day I'm in my house, okay, and I hear
somebody hits the gate buzzer. You know, he goes Harry Levin.
Harvey Levin was the consumer reporter Channel two, Channel two,
and he's doing one of his hard hitting pieces on celebrities.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
A waste water.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
So I had a broken sprinkler apparently, so they they
they went to city hall and they got my water milk.
So when he when I hear that, go hello, he goes, oh,
this is Harvey Levin is mister mister, I know who
is this? Said? This is Missus Hudson, mister Nun's housekeeper.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
How can I help you?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Well, we want to talk about wasted about wasting water. Oh,
mister thrifty, he doesn't believe in wasting water.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
No, no, he you know, he makes sure they save every.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
He goes, well, how long you've been working with for
thirty years? Missus Hudson was Sherlock Holmes's house talking to
I talk to Harvo.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'll tell I'll tell miss it on you.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Then I watched the eleven o'clock News. I'm outside the
home of Jay Leno and he puts us He puts
the mice next to the call box and it says,
voice of Missus Hudson.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I love that that we're too idiots, and you had
to tell us who Missus Hudson was.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's right, exactly by the way Sherlock Holmes is.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it's Shelick Holmbs.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
That's terrific.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Do you does anyone ever like send you jokes? It says, hey,
I got a good one for you.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
You know what people do, They send you somebody else's joke. Well, people,
here's one I heard. No, you heard it on a
Netflix special.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
That's great.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I mean that's so that's why you don't really
do that, because you don't know who you're dealing with.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
The comedians buy jokes anymore. My dad bought one.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Joke, you know, when I was doing the Tonight Show
and you've got to do at one point we were
doing a fourteen.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Minute monologue every night.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well then then.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, you get jokes over you can.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, did you ever discover it? Like a guy would
send you good jokes and you eventually hired him.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, the way I hired.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
People was I would say, send me the jokes, no name,
just a number. And I wound up with one guy
who had muscular districts is so bad he couldn't leave
his apartment and he's all in a wheelchair. But if
you've met him, you think, well, this guy's not up
to his path. But I hired him and he worked.
Another one was a rabbi orthodox rabbi Wow, and Marvin.

(04:30):
Marvin worked me for twenty years, you know, because I
realized it's just the best way to hire writers, because
some are quirky, some are different.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
You know, we got we.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Had three or four female writers because I just bought
the Oh, these jokes are good. So I was buying
it purely based on merit, and that's that's the best
way to do it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And did you have a writer's room at the Tonight
Show where all the guys get together and pitch jokes.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, you know, I would tell her to send me
everything you have. Okay, if if it's half a joke,
maybe I can do something with it. Just send me
everything you have, right, and we'll make it work.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I remember I hosted sat Alive once boy. I was
just really uncomfortable there because we'd be reading jokes and
I know some people would never laugh, and I go,
what's wrong with those guys?

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
They won't laugh at the other guy's jokes. It was
so it was so competitive. Like to me, I hired
guys minimum for a year. I didn't do thirteen weeks
because it takes you thirteen weeks just to get to
know the celebrity's personality and what he likes, you know,
and so content I wound up with the same people
for just the whole twenty three years.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
That's right, Yeah, I mean it was good. It was
how many jokes that you do in a monologue?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Thirty forty?

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Oh, probably forty, sometimes fifty. Yeah, that's a lot, quite
a few.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
There's a true jay because you did have sort of
this club. It was a great sort of group of
colleagues there, all of you guys who came up through comedy.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
From what I've read about all of this, and I've heard.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
You in that way, you've heard the eldest talk.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Yes, I have so, but what I'm what I'm getting
and now I forget what I was going to ask you.
But yeah, well that's an attention span in it I
did want to show off about the fact that I'd
heard Jay and other interviews about college. No what I
what I actually heard, and I wondered if it was true?
Was it The minute that tonight show was done, you
would actually begin work on the next night's mind.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, I had day writers and night writer And because
besides doing the jokes, you've got to do all the interviews,
you got to see the movie, you got to read
the book, you have to do all the whatever celebrities.
So I would have writers that just work from ten
o'clock till two o'clock in the morning, and I would
get kind of half the monologue from them, and then
I would supplement it throughout the day with you know

(06:42):
sometimes oh, you can't do that jokes as a plane cracker,
which she's okay, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Whatever, Sure like a breaking new story.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah did you?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
But when but when you were doing the monologue, did
you ever feel like you're going out there and you go, man,
these are I got nothing to do. These jokes are
gonna be just bomb. And then other days you're like, man,
I can't wait to get out there and.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Really not, well, yeah, I get a little better, but
you know what, it is it's like raising laboratory mice. Okay,
they gotta have another batch tomorrow. You know, you do
the show. If I did the show once a week
would be torture because you beat yourself up the whole week.
Oh I see, but when Monday, when Monday show bombs,
but Tuesday is good.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
You don't reflect back on Monday.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
You go to Wednesday, you go.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
To that's a great attitude. Would you do it live
to tape? So we're live to tape or was it live?
Was it was ever? Live? Like cars? Was live?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well my first two weeks when I started, I took
over it.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was live live. That's right.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
We take today thirty and thirty. Yeah, yeah, so that
was live line.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Why did they take Why did you stop doing that?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well I didn't because it was the Olympics, so we
had to wait to the Olympics and then live right,
And I did it without que cards because it's somebody
wasn't around or whatever. So you wow, what a way
to start live show and no que car.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah wait, you have to memorize the monologue? Yeah yeah,
that was.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah it was all right, but it was it was
a lot. It was fun.

always said that those packets could be like a gallon
and we'd still go through three or four of them.
Oh yeah, but why are they always just you know,

this girl, I'll take it to McDonald's. So I take
it to McDonald's and it's dark in the car and
we've got our food and I reach in and I

take a ketchup packet and I open it. You know,
I throw it back in the bag. I do that
with about two or three of them. So then then
I had another hamburger. I reached down, not realizing I
grabbed the bottom of the one I just opened. So
I'm just shaking it like this, and.

to Freddie's house and Freddie was the most gracious guy
in the world. Recently passed away, but he always had

us over for the fights. He didn't care, you know,
if you brought anything or didn't bring anything, or you
brought something or who you brought you just the door
was open. Everybody went to his house. And there was
one hundred and fifty people there watching the fight. And
now it's Netflix. Everybody has it at home and everyone
gets lazy and oh just watching it home.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's just you know, did you see the two guys
that were sitting ringside with their own TV. No, they
had a box where they had two one are those
lazy boys. They had two lazy boys and a TV
right in front of him and all the snacks and drinks.
You could have a little refrigerator. And they paid two
million dollars for that little box. It's at ringside. Two
million dollars. That is insane for that fight. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I would be pissed.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Have you ever sat like close to a big fight.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
The only fight I ever went to where I sat
close was in the Olympics, the silver medal round, or
I think it was a qualifier silver medal round in
the Olympics, and I couldn't believe how it was. Hollyfield
was in nineteen eighty four and when he hit a guy,
I felt like I could hear that in the car.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's how loud it was, I'll bet.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
And he hit the guy in the face, and people
standing in line for a beer up in the you know,
the concession stand heard it and the guy didn't go down.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah, that's the amazing thing. They take those beatings for,
you know, however many rounds.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, Mike Tyson had a great comment. He said, everybody's
got a great plan in life until you get punched
in the face, right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Tyson sat behind me at a fight. It was De
la Hoya. I can't remember who Dela Hua was fighting.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
De la Hoya and Bernard Hopkins were on the same bill,
and Tyson was behind me, and I didn't say anything
up until the very end after the fight. I did
turn to him and say, sorry, I get to it.
But he took must have taken six hundred pictures. People
were coming up to him constantly. Was like, I'm thinking, man,
this has got to be difficult. And he was very
good natured about every picture and until he snapped and

(19:36):
I turned to.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Him at the end, I said, Champ, what do you think?
What do you think? Because he said he said anything,
I don't think dala huya in one. They're going to
give it to him anyway, and they did.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yep, that's great that he's even in on. He's like, yeah,
it's all it's just what it is.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But I do enjoy watching two guys punch the hell
out of each other.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I really do that.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, don't forget. We've got that big event for
Jay Leno tomorrow. That's a big deal, so Comedy Magic
Club tomorrow night. It probably starts around seven. You can
go to Grossmandburn Foundation dot org and pick up a
ticket for that.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
He's really cool to do that.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Come in when he's all injured.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Like you're so bad. I mean, he's so good nature.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
And when you ask him about it, he goes, oh,
you know, it's just I'm just being not a big deal,
Tim Ashton. Are you on any kind of medications? No,
I'm not really much a pills guy, and I'm not
really no, no no.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
And the guy looks like missed opportunity.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
He looks like he went you know, with Tyson in
his prime right now, he really looks all bruised.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Up, right, but a tremendously missed opportunity he could be
on morphine. Yeah, you're right when he looked like that,
when you have that kind of money and you and
you look like that, if you walked into any emergence
here and go look, I'm you know, seventy hold he
is seventy five, seventy six. I'm totally fed up. My
wrists on fire. I want morphine or adderall or like
plug me in, yeah, or delauded or something like that. Cody,

(21:00):
you really know you're having freshed out. That was from
the office. Do you remember the office, the one where
Mike Scott you got to help me out here stephus
with the office? So Mike, Mike Scott. Who did Michael Scott?
Who did he peg in the office? Who did he
run over in the parking lot?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Meredith, Meredith? And then Meredith goes to the hospital. And
then and then who comes in and asks about the medication. Oh,
Creed is like on codean yeah, morphone, yeah, adderall delauded.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
And she's I'm not I'm not anything.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
He's like, ah, he hasked like ten different things and
it just cuts to Jim's face like he's just shocking.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
How does he know missed opportunity?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
All right, Jersey Mike's one of my favorite plays to
get a sandwich sold. It's no longer Jersey Mike's what
somebody bought Jersey Mike's from. I guess a guy named
Jerseysten trying.

Speaker 9 (21:52):
Blackstone is acquiring the rapidly.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Growing Lackstone again. They own everything Blackstone black Stone. They
own Jersey Mikes.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
For sandwiches, Jersey Mikes. The private equity farm acquired the
chain for eight billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Eight million dollars billion or billion, eight billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's a lot. Yeah, weu of sandwiches.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I mean he started I'm sure started in some Jersey.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well yeah, every sandwich is eight bucks, so that's a
billion sandwiches. But he bought it for a billion sandwiches,
billion dollars.

Speaker 9 (22:25):
Rest ashured customers can still get their subs Mike's way.
CEO Peter can Crow.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Why would they change that, I mean, why would they say,
you know, oh, Blackstone got it now it's Blackstone way.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Ye, it's Mike's way.

Speaker 9 (22:37):
The private equity Farm acquired the chain for eight billion dollars.
Rest ashured customers can still get their subs Mike's Way.
CEO Peter can Crow will continue to lead the business
and holds a significant equity stake in the company he founded.
Can Crow says that Blackstone will help provide resources and
expertise to drive further growth. Jersey Mike's tripled its number
of locations in the past decade.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
All right, let me tell you why Jersey Mikes is great.
It's a technical reason why they're great. I heard from
a doctor. I don't know if it was doctor Ray
or it was some It was a TV doctor. I
don't know if it was a doctor Phil, doctor Ray, Whatether,
doctor Moe, doctor Oz, doctor Drew, one of these TV doctors.

(23:23):
He said that when you slice deli meat, as soon
as you slice it, it starts to turn to plastic immediately.
There is just one or two chemicals that are off
in deli meat that if they added those two chemicals,
it would be pure plastic. So the closer you get

(23:43):
to a sandwich where the meat is just cut, the
better it.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Is for you.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Like these other sandwich places, those meats are cut in
Colorado somewhere and then they're shipped out here and then
they open up these packages and throw the meat on it.
But at Jersey Mike's, they cut that meat every for
every sandwich I see, And so that's the healthier version
of that sandwich.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
FYI.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Yeah, Well, they just had that big meat recall with
the you know, the boar's head, which.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Is a boards head. I've I've not been back to
boar's head since.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
And boy's head is pus of the high end meat. Yes,
turns out it's uh, you know, it was killing people.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
That's right. I have not been back to boar's head.
I just can't pull the trigger yet. And I loved
I was a total boy's head.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Got sure.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
It was the top of the top of the line.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Every single sandwich I had was boar's head, boy's head,
boy's head.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
I mean the parent of the plant where it all
came from was so bad they had to close it
down for two weeks.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yeah, that's right, and it's completely unsanitary. All right.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
When we come back, we have the unclaimed property. The
state of California has unclaimed property that might be yours.
My mom found thirteen thousand dollars that somebody owed her
in unclaimed property.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
There's a lot for my dad too. I look for me.
There's nothing I get snaked but unclaimed property. We'll come back.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
We'll tell you what's going on with that and see
if you can still claim your unclaimed property.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty unclaimed property.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
This state has a lot of it, and you've got
to check to see whether you're owed some money. Maybe
a company try to get a hold of you back taxes,
you know, an alimony check that I don't know bounced
or whatever goes back to you. A lot of it.
Billions of dollars in the state of California could be you.
Are you ever check to see if you're on that list?

Speaker 4 (25:36):
I no, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I'm on the list. But it's like a check for
two dollars and eighty cents. It's not worth pursuing at
that point, so I said, yeah, screw it, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Screw it.

Speaker 10 (25:46):
This is a thief's dream, a treasure trope, but it's
all under the care of the very agency task with
protecting the public from fraud, the State Controller's Office.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I'm not playing.

Speaker 11 (26:00):
I'm treating your money like my own money. You still
from me.

Speaker 9 (26:04):
You better run because and hi, because I'm coming for you.

Speaker 10 (26:07):
On top of tracking taxpayer money, the Controller safeguards unclaimed property.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Unclaimed property.

Speaker 10 (26:13):
Here we go claimed property valuables left behind in safe
deposit boxes after someone died or didn't pay the bill,
and it could.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Be yours goes to next to candor wherever's in that will.
Oh sure, got to get those open those boxes.

Speaker 10 (26:26):
Returned when the rightful owner or air turns up. Like
in the case of a Southern California man in March
last year.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
The items were mailed to him and then that's when
he opened the package, he noticed there was items missing,
not just.

Speaker 11 (26:41):
Any items, five large diamonds.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Goal The approximate value of those diamonds were around three
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 11 (26:49):
So where did they go?

Speaker 10 (26:50):
The State Controller's office checked its surveillance cameras, tracing the
package's movements in the mail room.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
That's when they discovered that there was a suspicious behavior
by one.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Of the employe.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh my god, everybody in Sacramento is trying to screw us. Everybody,
whether it's unemployment, the homeless checks that go out.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
The speed train.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Everybody's taking all our money and throwing it away, throwing
it away. There's at least fifty eight billion dollars that
we know of that's been ripped off.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Fifty eight billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
And and let me, I'm gonna do a quick math
here for you, so you guys don't have to do
it at home. I'm going to break out my calculator.
And there's fifty eight billion dollars missing. So fifty eight
that's fifty eight million. That's fifty eight billion. Divide it
by the forty million people who live in California, not

(27:43):
that you all pay taxes, because some of you don't.
That's almost fifteen hundred bucks per person. Fifteen hundred dollars
per person. We've sent to Sacramento and they've thrown it away.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Well, but some of what you're talking about has been stolen.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
From Yeah, they have thirty billion dollars.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, I mean, you know, the the syndicates, even prison
syndicates from you know, you saw it. I mean, it's
billions of dollars has been stolen from Sacramento. Even this
is in addition to whatever government wasted.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Right, Yes, and nobody got fired over it right, Nobody
got suspended over it, agreed. I mean, I don't think
I could cost this company more than four or five
grand without getting my ask kicked.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Here, you keep saying that I don't think I.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Look, if I stole five thousand dollars and they proved
it from this company, I'd be gone tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
If you stole any money, you'd be gone. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Gone.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
But also if I was reckless, like let's say we
do a you know, a remote this Friday at Wendy's
and I was smoking in the KFI van and it
burned to the ground, they'd be really pissed that I
did that, because they've asked me not to smoke in
that van.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Is that right? What was there?

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Right?

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah? Was there an incident?

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah? Yeah, Well there wasn't. Well, belly obelly, belly.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, he said, was there an incident?

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Not?

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Wasn't there? Was there? Almost incident? There was almost an incident.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Whatever. The back when I used to smoke cigarettes, we
were at a location and I didn't like to smoke
in public because I felt like an idiot. So I
went around to the side of the van and I
was smoking near the van and the van I didn't
know this was leaking gas and I there wasn't a fire.

(29:28):
But the guy who was driving the van at the
times said, hey, buddy, can you please not stand near
the van when we're when you're smoking, we have a
small gas leak in the engine and this whole thing
could go up. Well, that got to the upper echelon
of this company and I had to go in and
explain why I'm smoking near the gas leak.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Of the KFI van. What that's true? True story be
Belly remembers the whole.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Time you were called into. Some manager was called in.
Two Yeah, what do I have.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
To do with it? Yeah, they didn't like that.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
I probably said that to them.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I felt bad that Belly was called in, but I
think that she sort of defended me, which is cool.
I did yeah, and she goes, look, nothing happened. The
van's still, you know, crappy and uh and we all
get the guess that's right. Bellio said, Look, with all
due respect, you guys have known about this gas league
for three months and have done nothing about it.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Wow, I hope you said that show she did.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
It did, but in a nicer way, yeah, like, oh,
you got nice shoes exact.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I think that's how it came out. Oh, Robin, you
got nice shoes, said on top of it.

Speaker 11 (30:36):
Then fifty eight year old mcgims.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
This is a Wiggins.

Speaker 11 (30:39):
Then what sorry?

Speaker 10 (30:41):
Then fifty eight year old Miguel Espinosa, a meal machine supervisor,
caught their attention.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
He was this is the guy stealing, allegedly this unclaimed property.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
But these diamonds, taking the box to a location where
there's no cameras, almost bringing it back, retaping it, and
then sending it off.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
So the California Highway Patrol got a warrant to search
his Sacramento house.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
There you go.

Speaker 11 (31:02):
It had already been a month since the theft.

Speaker 10 (31:05):
The diamonds could be anywhere sold or carefully concealed.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
It's not my house. I don't know the hiding spots.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
Anthony Ruiz says.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
He detained Uspinosa while another officer checked the suspects room,
looking first under the bed.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh god, inspector Clouseau, We'll check under the bed first.
Sounds like a sketch in messin l check under the
bed for the snakes and the diamonds.

Speaker 11 (31:32):
Looking first under the bed.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
There was a bed with sort of a cabinet underneath
it a.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Cabin Here, we go.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Open the cabinet and they're right there.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
God, what are the odds.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
At the first place the highway patrol looks, they find
the diamonds.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
How stupid you have to be.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
We have a month to hide those diamonds, and the
first place the highway patrol looks they find them.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah, you know, the sergeants saying, please the bed, you
want to check out of the bed. Come on, guys,
let's get serious about this thing. Let me just I
it's sorrge. Look here there's the diamonds.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
A month, one month right under the bed. Oh man,
oh man.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
It was very very simple. I have good luck mostly.

Speaker 11 (32:09):
And that's not all officers found. They struck gold, what.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Did he have?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
An instrument?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
They found mood music under the bed. Also, they found a.

Speaker 12 (32:23):
Trio under the bed, specialty coins, jewelry band or a
couple of silver bars.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Things that were bongos, looked like family heirlooms.

Speaker 11 (32:38):
Everything had to be carefully cataloged.

Speaker 10 (32:41):
It took days, generating more than three hundred photos. So
this went from one person reporting some diamonds missing to
how many.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
People where it's approximately twelve victims stuff.

Speaker 11 (32:54):
Stolen over at least a seven year span.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Investigators say, okay, so things that were stolen over seven
year span and he didn't hawk any of them. They're
all under his bed. What's wrong with this guy? He's like,
let you hang it out of them. He's the best criminal,
but he's the worst. Yeah, the worst.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
This went to one victim, and these items were another victim.

Speaker 10 (33:14):
Precious property they were supposed to get after the death
of their grandmother, their sister, or their father.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
There was one lady she was her son lives here
in California and she lives in Iran, and she had
this sort of specialty like gold purse. She couldn't believe it.
She thought that her dad like sold it.

Speaker 10 (33:31):
With a gold mine of evidence. The case went to
the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
We're in the Special Investigations Unit.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Wow, all right, Well they nailed the guy. Yeah, long
arm of the law caught their guy. Conway Thompson were
