Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's CAMF I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Back Baby, back on the air. Belly.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we did it,
We did it. And the big story is the Dodgers,
right yeah, Dodgers going to the World Series. All right,
Belly oh man, she's the best. When she gets some sleep,
she's as sharp as they come. All right, let's finish
(00:31):
up with the retailers closing, and then we'll get into no,
you know what, Let's pause on that and the breaking
news that one oh one is back open after a
suspicious package was found near the Federal Building in downtown Los.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Angeles, LA, where a suspicious object is being investigated as
a pipe bomb at the.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Royal Federal Building Campus.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Good evening to your Rubert Caussek.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And I'm Collen Williams, who are just now learning that
object has been deemed safe of the investigation shut down
the one on one freeway, albeit briefly during rush hour.
NBC fours the Ilana Marina overhead in Newstupper.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Four ileons all right, Ileana, what's going on up there?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
And this all transpired starting at about three fifteen at
the Federal building located here up of Temple and Los Angeles.
It was in the X ray machine that something suspicious
was spotted by the staff, and of course, out of
an abundance of caution, they evacuated the building. They closed
down nearby streets. They even shut down the one oh
(01:31):
one freeway for nearly an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Ah, that seems like a lot. I don't know the
package was not even it was nowhere near the freeway.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think we.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Closed freeways for a prolonged period of time when they
don't need to be closed. And I think we closed
freeways like in this instance where they certainly don't need
to be closed. If that bomb had gone off, it
wouldn't affected the one on one at all. It's not
going to bring the building down. I think it's odd.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
For nearly an hour they brought out the bomb squad, though,
and the bomb squad was able to take a closer
look at that item.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't know if it was LAPD bomb squad or
the Sheriff's bomb squad, but I think I need to
be the new bomb squad king. I think I need
to be the commander of the bomb squad, and my
recommendation with everything is it's fine. It's fine, let's just
keep everything open because there's a lot of suspicious packages
(02:27):
and I don't remember any of them really going off.
I guess it only need one to go off. But
you know, Krozier, I had a theory and a way
to solve this, and people I got a lot of email,
a lot of hate email on it. But I thought,
instead of having a you know, closing down the buildings
and having a guy go in with a you know,
(02:49):
robot and try to figure out if the if it
was just a guy's you know, luggage full of underpants
or it was a real bomb. You get a guy
or a gal who has terminal cancer only has like
a two weeks to live, and they go in and
they check it out, and they want to do that.
You know, they can go out being a hero.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I was thinking, you know, when you were saying, just
let people, you know, with the technology the way it
is and the interactive aspect of so many vehicles, you know,
with Wi Fi, electricity and all, there should be a
way that anybody that's in that traffic they get some
sort of notification and say, hey, if you absolve anybody.
If anything happens to you and you want to drive
past it and the bomb goes off, go.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Ahead, yes, sign it. Click here right here and pull
right to the front of the line.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Right click here, and it's on you right, And I
think everyone would click it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yes, I would say more than not.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
If you had a choice, click here, you can drive through.
But if the bomb goes off, you could be dead.
Everyone would drive through there, yep, everybody.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
So it is odd which was actually bound to be
a bag of coins.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
God, we stopped the freeway for an hour because guy
at a sack of Jane Nichols, which.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Was actually bound to be a bag of coins.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I was bringing a bag of coins into the Federal building.
Kind of nut, is that?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
And of course not suspicious or threatening in any way.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, because they're coins.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
So one of those guys that's like paying his taxes,
he's going to the Federal building.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, parking ticket, yeah right right. We went to Las Vegas.
I was working for the FM talk station and we're
going to go up there do a live broadcast. And
our producer at the time was a guy named Jason
in Sulaco. One of my very dear friends.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I showed up the MGM a couple hours before
he did. He took a later flight, and I see
this guy come into the MGM. And you know those
bell hop carts, they're usually gold. They have four wheels
on them and you can hang clothes and put your
luggage on it, big bar over top of you.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, he had one of.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Those, and he was pushing a five gallon glass jug
of sparklets water.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You know those big.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Five gallons you put a bump on the water dispenser.
Sure filled not with water, with coins, and he was
going to go up to the room, separate it all
and that was going to be his gambling money for
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I thought to myself, Man, dude, chicks not like that.
That is not a way to get in good with
the opposite sex.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
When when my dad passed away and I was in
Tampa doing a lot of back and forth, and I
was on the last trip there, and in that last
trip I was driving back because it was I was
taking whatever I wanted to take with me from his place,
and he had exactly the same thing, a five gallon
jug or whatever of coins, I sat in a grocery
store in Saint Petersburg for three hours.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Pushing them into the coin change.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Man, I saw shifts, you know, the workers change shifts.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
How about the guy behind you? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Yeah, no, they just said, so you just go somewhere else.
And when I was done, they all wanted to know
how much it was.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I did too, the coin star thing, Yeah, how much
was it?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was like thirteen hundred. Wow, it got me back
across the country. I was able to rent a van.
Good for you and pay for the gas all the
way to get back across the country.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh man, that's thirteen hundred dollars a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're usually go in was like full, usually
go in with a big huge thing of coins.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You're like forty eight fifty two.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
And like what I think, Like so many people, I
grew up with the change jar, and my dad and
I had a little bit of a tradition, girl, a
tradition growing up where we would count it and each
and and various people that would come into our lives,
girlfriends or whatever during that time of the year. We
would all guess how much was in it, and whoever
get closest got to pick what we spent it on.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Do you remember the old days where you had to
roll it yourself with the paper roller?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Absolutely, yes, that's what we did, man.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And you had to put your count number on the
outside of the roller. Yep, yep, yes, been there. I've
been there, man. And and when you feel like a
king walking in at that big box of coins.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Humping coins, yeah, all wrapped up, and I thought MYOCD
was very happy doing that stuff, man, all nice and clean,
and had to fold that paper down just right, looked
all perfect. I kept thinking, oh, this is gonna go
in somebody else's hand.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Look what eye rolled. And they just dump it right
back and put it in a new roll. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And and they they put you put your account number
on it, so in case it's short a dime, they
know who it is, all right. But I remember bringing
coins into a into a saving not saving the loan,
a credit union in Burbank. This is years ago, and
a guy walked in after me and I and I
looked at him and I said, hey, Jen, I said
(07:58):
my wife, Hey, that guy looks familiar.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
We've seen this guy before. Who is that guy?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And she said, I don't know, it looks familiar. To
and she goes, oh, I know who it is. It's
the guy that always stands out front of the Target
or the Empire Center with his dog begging for money.
And he walked in with stacks and stacks of one
dollar bills and she rolled it through the machine and
he had twenty six or twenty seven hundred dollars and
(08:26):
put it into his bank account and then left with
his dog. See that's like one days where they work.
That's why I don't give money to people like that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I know that's what I want to do. That you do,
I like it, and I quit here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You know, I'd love to do as I get older,
and as you know, people stop listening to this crap
is I'd love to work at Low's. My brother just
got a job at Low's in Pennsylvania. Man, that's yeah,
that sounds like a dreamcause.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He's looking for something to do.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, he needs something to do good for him, and
he got a job at Low's. They give him a discount,
they got health benefits. He said, it's a cool job
and he already knows where everything in the store is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Jealous.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'd love to do it. And now home depot is
not even screening for weed anymore. Remember they used to
exclude you if you were with weed smoker. Now not anymore.
They need employees. But look, I'm there anyway, it might
as well get paid for it, yep, I said, Loads.

The other day I.
Speaker 6 (09:31):

doal bear with me for one second here. I I
for some reason, I locked my credit card and I
(11:19):
was thinking I just lock it because I'm an idiot,
and I locked it because I I didn't want anyone
to use it, and I figure, Okay, next time I
use it, I'll just unlock it. Well, I forgot. My
wife also has the same credit card and she's out
(11:44):
of town. She went to use it and it's locked.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You, sir, are paying for that, and.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Now I can't figure out how to unlock it. I
got to stop doing this. Manage locksta. It's okay, Okay,
it's unlocked. Okay, sweet, if you're listening, it's unlocked. Go
enjoy yourself. She tried to buy something at the Dollars
store and it was locked.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
How about a baby.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Kind of embarrassing to try to buy something to the dollar
store and your credit card doesn't work and it first reactions,
Oh no, no, that's a mistake.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Try it again. People behind you. We've been there. We've
been there. No, no, no, we're not there. We're we're no,
we've been there. We've been there, we've been there.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
All right, let's talk about Oh we talked about the
stores closing. Oh how about this the insurance scam? Oh yeah,
insurance scam.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Oh man, you have got to get yourself a camera
on your car. If not, you could be a victim
of these insurance scams where some guy flies in front
of you, hits the brakes and you hit him or
they back up into you, and if you don't have
a camera, it's your word against theirs, and you're in
insurance company is probably going to just most likely pay
(13:02):
it off. And it happened in New Jersey where there's
a woman drive and they usually attack single women driving.
Guy pulled in front, hit the brakes, She avoided rear
ending him because she stopped, and then he reversed into her,
hit her, And it's been seen by sixty one million
people already online. And he took off after he saw
(13:25):
the camera on the car. So you got to get
a camera on your car. There's too many people in
this country now that are going to commit insurance fraud.
So what are those things called. It's not a dash cam.
You got to get a dash camera on your car somehow.
And there's too much scam, too many scams going on.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Oh my god, this terrifying moment caught on camera.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh my god, what does he do? Hey backed into her? Babe, babe?
What happened? Suspected insurance babe, babe?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It sounds like a sunny and share babe, babe, babe,
I got you, babes, I got you, babe.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Babe babe.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Suspected insurance fraudsters intentionally backing into Ashpa Natasha's car on
a busy New York City highway.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
This guy has reversed into me.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What the hell is going on to.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
My first instinct was that I got caught in a
road rage.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It was very chaotic.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
The silver Honda accord cuts off Ashpa, causing her to
slam on the brakes, but when she doesn't hit them,
the driver putting the car into reverse and punching the gas,
crashing into her.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
I just proceeded to treat it like an accident, you know.
I asked him if they were okay. We were able
to exchange information. The guy in the video, he told
me that the female was the driver and she doesn't
speak any English.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
But then the backseat passengers trying to put a covering
on the back window as the driver climbs over into
the front passenger seat before getting out of the car.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, what a country we live in, huh? Where there's
just it's filled with a.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Holes pretending to be injured. They pull out their phones
to record the damage.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
They're rushing to leave. They were like, well, we have
to go, we have to go pick up our baby.
And so basically when I turned around to go check
on the car, they just like got in.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Their car left. Yeah, because they saw the dash cam.
They don't like the dash camera.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
After watching the footage, they believe they were being scammed.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
They were taking the videos to the police. They pretty
definitively say that they've seen similar scams like this.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, fraudulent automobile accidents
occur more frequently in urban areas, where there is a
greater volume of vehicles and criminals prey upon women driving alone.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, if you live in an urban area, which most
of us do, and if you have a daughter or
a wife who's driving alone, chances are they're going to
be a victim before you are.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Got to get them a dash camera.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm going out today to get three, one for me,
one for my daughter, and one for my wife.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Big just incredible.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Do you have one bellio? No, but maybe you could
pick up one. What do you.
Speaker 11 (16:02):
Chips?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Chips? And you're really that free drawer of snack food.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're getting most of your calories every day out of
that hut loading up just incredible.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
And if you think you've been a victim of insurance fraud,
make sure you report it. Many states have insurance fraud
hotlines that you could call. And the scam could involve
more than just the people in the other car. It
could include doctors and lawyers who participate in the scheme. So,
just like Eshpia did, when you see something strange, trust your.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Gut here yeah, and call your insurance company and fight that.
I had a family member who got into not a
fender bender, it was just in a parking lot and
tapped the bumper of another car, and she had no
damage of her car. I'd have to point it out
in her car there's a literally like an eighth of
an inch by an eighth of an inch piece of
(16:50):
paint that was missing.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Could never see it with the naked eye. I have
to point it out.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And the other woman filed a claim with my insurance company,
and they were about to pay between you know, three
and five thousand dollars for the claim. So I called,
I gave out all the information. I said, it's a scam,
please don't pay it, and they did an investigation and
they ended up not paying it. Oh nice, Yeah, which
is great, Yeah, terrific because usually they just pay it
(17:15):
because they don't have to want to spend the time
to investigate it.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
It's a nice combination of people that just want to
get that payday, the ltigious type of people who you know,
get like you say, minorly hit and it's like it
no harm, no, you know, it's all good, and insurance companies,
like you say, being lazy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Right, and if that, if it was successful, then my
family member would have a ding on her insurance and
it would be more expensive later on.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Than the insurance companies can charge you more.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's right, Yeah, it's exactly right. So try to fight
those with the insurance companies. If you have a good
insurance company, which we do, they will work with you
and they will they're on your side.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They want to make you happy.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We've been with our insurance company, I think twenty two
years and they've been terrific.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Mine, from what I had last week has been fantastic.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, a little expensive, but I think you pay for service,
so I don't mind paying that much.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Times like this, you get what you paid for. That's
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, and it's comforting knowing you got a good insurance company.
Who's your insurance company?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Mercury? Oh you have Mercury? Okay, yeah, great, I have
a Mika. They're terrific.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Forty crowser Have you ever heard the term and I
hate this term? If we can use it on the air,
you'll be the judge crows up? If we can use
this term on the air, or we.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Have to dump it? I say yes right now, Okay,
then we can use it. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You ever heard the term bros before hose?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Sure? Okay, we could say that on the air.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right Do you think if you're a pimp or you
owned a brothel, it would reverse It would be hose
before bros.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
So that kept me up last.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Night, wondering if wondering if I'm reversed that ever works
or chicks before.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
For the ladies. Yeah, we'd have dumped that. Oh yes,
but I had an idea. Oh wait, let me play
this for you.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh we have we have more crime in the valley.
Seems like we always have crime in the valley. They're
going to change it to crime valley. San Fernando Valley
and now it's Woodland Hills. Guy is three hundred thousand
dollars at home, three hundred thousand dollars in cash at
(19:37):
his house and guess what, he's out of town and
that cash is just sitting in the house.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Who's got that kind of dough at the house.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
There's been a problem in the San Fernando Valley for
months now and they are continuing.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I went as us.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Your porter Lean Suter has the new video and details
of this brazen break in.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
Another neighborhood break in caught on camera in Woodland Hill,
the thieves smashing a window and crawling through, making off
with thousands.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Of dollars in three hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 12 (20:08):
Cash, jewelry, and a safe in all more than three
hundred thousand dollars worth. According to investigators.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
There have been a string of incidents going on here.
Several of our neighbors have had their property stolen. I
think they're getting really bold. I think that they're feeling
like they can continue to do that here and not
face any consequences.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
It happened Friday night on Dolosa Street. The homeowner, who
doesn't want to talk on camera says he was with
his family in San Diego and watched the crime unfold
live on his surveillance cameras.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How about that You're on vacation, beautiful vacation with the family,
and because you have ring cameras or security cameras, you
can see the people stealing everything from your home.
Speaker 12 (20:46):
Two men in dark clothes breaking into the house and
in a matter of minutes making off with a safe
and other goods, jumping in doing a waiting getaway car.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You know, I wonder if there's a high when you
get back to your hideout or your house, or you're
going with all that cash and the safe and you
pop open the safe and there's three hundred thousand dollars
in cash and jewelry, you know, watches. I wonder if
there's a big celebration, you know, like you get a
twelve pack of beer and you count it all up.
(21:16):
I bet there is. Yeah, I bet that's some kind
of high. Yeah, you know, a successful.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Firstly, you know, if they do a whole big thing
like what was it the Papa john stores we was
talking about last week, but they had multiple break ins
at the same time. Oh yeah, it took the safe
and it was like twenty five bucks or some really
small amountain there.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
They got to be just as depressed on that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Oh that's right. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, the
ying and the yang. But I think if you have
three hundred thousand dollars worth of cash and jewelry your
house and you have one safe, that's a dumb idea. Yeah,
you have to have twenty saves. Load them up to
have your stuff still, you have twenty safs and let
them figure out which safe all that crap's in, or
let them work for an hour trying to take every
(21:56):
safe out of there until the cops show up. Get yourself,
multiple safe, spread it all out, multiple safes.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's what you need. Safe after safe after safe, and man,
oh man.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That's gonna be the key to your life. Eighteen saves
in the house. Then they get in there like wait, what.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Which one?
Speaker 11 (22:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Let's get out of.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Here and they'll split because there's too many saves and
bolt them all down. Let them bring the bolt cutters
out and have them all bolt at the house and
electrifier whenever they touch it, they get zapped and they'll
cut that down and they'll be cut way down, so
we got a lot more crime in the San Fernando Valley.
People are stealing everybody else's stuff.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
The same thing that they did to us about a
year ago, where they picked up the safe, came in
with the getaway car and ran away.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
And get multiple saves, have twenty on the house.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
So the thieves captured on camera breaking into Roy's home
last year, right across the street from the latest target.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They don't have to be real safe.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You can have a prop safe, a fake looking safe,
you know he can make for seventeen dollars and let
them figure out where all the loot is.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
A very similar mo the suspects breaking in through a
sliding glass door.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or get a bunch of safs and put nothing in
all the saves, lock them all and then keep all
the money under a mattress or in a closet or somewhere.
There's a lot of ways around this, a lot of
ways around this, and I always am suspicious where a
guy comes in eight seconds later he's leave with the
safe like he knows where that's an inside job. I'm
not saying the homeowners in on it, but maybe some
(23:32):
guy came in and did some work on the house,
and then he passed that information along to his buddy,
and all of a sudden, you're out three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's a lot for a lot of people. It's a
life savings man.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
The big story today is the Dodgers playing Friday in
the World Series very first game, Yankees Dodgers. The second
biggest story was the one on one was closed for
about an hour because the guy brought a suspicious package
into one of the federal buildings downtown. Turns out it
was a bag of coins, and somebody that the Federal
(24:13):
building couldn't figure out whether it was coins or a bomb.
It's coins, maybe they're rolled up, looked like a bomb,
who knows. But I think we got to do a
better job at figuring out pretty quickly whether it's coins
or dynamite, because closing the one on one freeway for
a lot of people sucks a lot of people. So
(24:35):
bad vibes. All right, let's talk about Europe. Lax to Europe.
Getting from lax to two major European cities just got easier.
Let's find out who's doing this? We can get to
a Europe a little easier low fare.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Airline North Atlantic is already offering deals for trips to
Europe next summer. Flights from Lax to Rome are currently
going for around four hundred dollars one way wow.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
How about that four hundred bucks to go to Italy.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
Tickets are available now on the airline's website. Norse Atlantic
will also resume service to Oslo next May through September,
with one way fair starting at just two hundred and
forty dollars wow. The discounted fairs are in Norse's economy
like cabin, which only includes one personal item, and where
those passengers are last to.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Board a downside last to board. Who cares when you're bored.
I'd rather be last to board anyway. I always try
to be last on the plane. Why sit there with
everybody else? Why not be come on last? So that's
kind of odd. Anyway, you get two new destinations, or
at least two cheap ones. You go to Italy for
(25:41):
four hundred bucks or Oslo, Norway for two hundred and
forty dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Women sitting in palace.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Vertice, you know they've had their problems out there, their
share of moving houses and craziness out there for the
last couple of years. She's just in the house, probably
watching the news, maybe listening to KFI. And bang, somebody
flies off the highway and right into to the roof
of this woman's house.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Car that flew through the roof of a home in
Rancho Palace Vertices. That happened just before six this evening.
Apparently that car rolled down a hill into the home,
but it's unclear exactly how it wound up this way
nose down, rear, bumper poking out the top of the
roof the home.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Of course, someone was going too fast.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I suspect the home, of course, suffered extensive damage. As
fire crews responded. No one was inside or no one
inside was home, but the homeowner raced to that car
to make sure the driver was okay.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
I looked in the family room and I just saw
piles and piles of wood. The windows had shattered. It
sounded like the whole house exploded. I wasn't sure if
it was a gas line that exploded, but I know
something serious had happened. I was the first one that
got to her. She was kind of coming in and
out of consciousness. She's an older lady. She kept asking
me where she was. I gave her the address. I'm
(26:55):
not sure if she was trying to call on her phone.
I was just trying to keep her calm.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
The driver was taking the hospital. We are waiting word
tonight on her condition.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Very nice homeowner. All right.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
The Christmas tree has arrived at Citadel. That means we're
moments away from the frenzy at Citadel. Great place to
go shopping for loved ones right there off the fire
freeway between the six o five and the seven ten.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Beautiful, beautiful place to take the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I got a good food court in there, a lot
of shops, a lot of discount outlets there. It's a
it's an awesome, awesome place.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
Hey, look at this, ready or not, the holidays are here,
at least at the Citadel Factory Outlets and commerce. This
is a live look where the giant Christmas tree is
arriving right now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Look at that.
Speaker 14 (27:38):
This year's tree is one hundred and fifteen feet tall.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It is wow, one hundred and fifteen foot tree dead
for so we could celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right. I get that. I approve of that.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I like that, But I don't know how many more
years we're gonna you know, the environmentalists and you know
tree hug are going to tolerate this. So you better
get down there while you can see it still, because
I guarantee you I know what's going on in this
country one percent in the future. I don't know if
it's two years, ten years, or twenty years in the future.
(28:16):
This is not going to happen. It's not going to
be tolerated. There'll be enough backlash and there'll be enough
people who are saying no to this that the live
tree will be dead and they'll be there'll be a
fake tree there every year. But right now you can
go see the live one at Citadel.
Speaker 14 (28:33):
One hundred and fifteen feet tall. It is a white
fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's impressive. A white fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
One hundred and fifteen feet that's a that's like like
a ten foot I mean that literally, we're on the
fourth floor. It's two and a half times where we
are right now. Ten foot ten floor office building. One
hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 14 (28:54):
Feet beautiful white fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's impressive.
Speaker 16 (28:58):
It's always so impressiveent it's crazy that it's arriving right now,
but it makes sense they need time to prep it
right right. Several of the trees giant branches had to
be removed so it could be loaded onto the truck
for the trip to southern California.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Now, over the next.
Speaker 16 (29:11):
Few weeks, the tree will be decked out with more
than eighteen thousand lights.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It really I've been to see that tree a couple
of times in the last you know, four or five years.
It's spectacular. It rivals the tree at Disneyland. It is unbelieved.
You can smell it. You can smell the you know,
the pine and if you're from that part of the world,
you know Mount Chast you have spend any time there,
you can you know that smell at night, that beautiful, crisp,
(29:36):
clean air. That is exactly what you'll be witnessing at Citadel.
Get up near that tree and it's spectacular. It really is.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Ten thousand bows and ornaments.
Speaker 16 (29:46):
The official tree lighting celebration will take place on November
the ninth, That is just two weeks from Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
There you go, all right, the dog, there's gonna be
a Dodgers mural of Fernando valenzuel Let's find out where
this is going.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Artists and mural Robert bargs is getting the word started
already as he preps his canvas, which is the sign.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Of this apartment building.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Just take a look at what it's going to look
like when he's all done. Once it's done, for Nano
Balanzuela will be immortalized on the side of this apartment
building in Boyle Heights.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It'll be visible.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
From both directions of the one on one Freeway at
First Street.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Oh good, okay, excellent? Want to want it First Street?
You'd be able to see it coming into an out
of town only.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
City Councilan Kevin de Leone's office commission artist Robert Bargets
to pink the mural. Marcus's work is on display throughout
the city of Los Angeles, which includes this mural of
Shoi Otani and Little Tokyo.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
This mural is going to be an iconic mural, an
instant landmark that will not only be a great source
of pride here for people who grew up watching for Nana,
but it allows the children of the future to be
able to look at an image and see themselves.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That's great, okay, And one last story here Costco opens
its first location in Napa.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
The city of Napa is celebrating the grand opening of
its very first Costco, which is bringing three hundred and
fifty new jobs to the area and a lot of
happy shoppers, a lot of.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Them camping out over night.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
ABC's Avenues report of Lena how Lane joining us live
there with all of the excitement.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Lena, we saw the video of the lines that looked
like Black Friday.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
What if the people get for waiting in line all night?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Nothing?
Speaker 17 (31:21):
Well, excitement really is running high here in Napa As.
This is honestly the day many locals have been waiting
years for. Some like you mentioned, even weighted in line
for days just to be among the first few shoppers inside.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, it's really cool when a new Costco opens. We're
up in Washington a new one opened. It's it's everybody
in town talks about it. It's a big deal when
a new Costco opens and you want to get in there. Well,
it's clean still, and people aren't, you know, filtering it
up like they do all the other Costcos.
Speaker 17 (31:53):
Tucked away in the heart of California wine country.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
It's humongeys. It has some really cool things. You would
not think a Costco would.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Carry, but it adds flavor to what we already have
in the area.
Speaker 17 (32:05):
Costco opened its first location in Napa Friday morning.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Well, there's people waiting in line overnight, I think a
couple of days.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
So it seems like, yeah, I don't know about those people.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I don't know what's going on in your life Where
you can sleep on the street for a couple of
days for Costco to open.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I think it's a red flag. I think it's a warning.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Conway show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI Am six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's CAMF I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Back Baby, back on the air. Belly.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we did it,
We did it. And the big story is the Dodgers,
right yeah, Dodgers going to the World Series. All right,
Belly oh man, she's the best. When she gets some sleep,
she's as sharp as they come. All right, let's finish
(00:31):
up with the retailers closing, and then we'll get into no,
you know what, Let's pause on that and the breaking
news that one oh one is back open after a
suspicious package was found near the Federal Building in downtown Los.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Angeles, LA, where a suspicious object is being investigated as
a pipe bomb at the.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Royal Federal Building Campus.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Good evening to your Rubert Caussek.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And I'm Collen Williams, who are just now learning that
object has been deemed safe of the investigation shut down
the one on one freeway, albeit briefly during rush hour.
NBC fours the Ilana Marina overhead in Newstupper.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Four ileons all right, Ileana, what's going on up there?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
And this all transpired starting at about three fifteen at
the Federal building located here up of Temple and Los Angeles.
It was in the X ray machine that something suspicious
was spotted by the staff, and of course, out of
an abundance of caution, they evacuated the building. They closed
down nearby streets. They even shut down the one oh
(01:31):
one freeway for nearly an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Ah, that seems like a lot. I don't know the
package was not even it was nowhere near the freeway.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think we.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Closed freeways for a prolonged period of time when they
don't need to be closed. And I think we closed
freeways like in this instance where they certainly don't need
to be closed. If that bomb had gone off, it
wouldn't affected the one on one at all. It's not
going to bring the building down. I think it's odd.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
For nearly an hour they brought out the bomb squad, though,
and the bomb squad was able to take a closer
look at that item.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't know if it was LAPD bomb squad or
the Sheriff's bomb squad, but I think I need to
be the new bomb squad king. I think I need
to be the commander of the bomb squad, and my
recommendation with everything is it's fine. It's fine, let's just
keep everything open because there's a lot of suspicious packages
(02:27):
and I don't remember any of them really going off.
I guess it only need one to go off. But
you know, Krozier, I had a theory and a way
to solve this, and people I got a lot of email,
a lot of hate email on it. But I thought,
instead of having a you know, closing down the buildings
and having a guy go in with a you know,
(02:49):
robot and try to figure out if the if it
was just a guy's you know, luggage full of underpants
or it was a real bomb. You get a guy
or a gal who has terminal cancer only has like
a two weeks to live, and they go in and
they check it out, and they want to do that.
You know, they can go out being a hero.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I was thinking, you know, when you were saying, just
let people, you know, with the technology the way it
is and the interactive aspect of so many vehicles, you know,
with Wi Fi, electricity and all, there should be a
way that anybody that's in that traffic they get some
sort of notification and say, hey, if you absolve anybody.
If anything happens to you and you want to drive
past it and the bomb goes off, go.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Ahead, yes, sign it. Click here right here and pull
right to the front of the line.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Right click here, and it's on you right, And I
think everyone would click it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yes, I would say more than not.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
If you had a choice, click here, you can drive through.
But if the bomb goes off, you could be dead.
Everyone would drive through there, yep, everybody.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
So it is odd which was actually bound to be
a bag of coins.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
God, we stopped the freeway for an hour because guy
at a sack of Jane Nichols, which.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Was actually bound to be a bag of coins.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I was bringing a bag of coins into the Federal building.
Kind of nut, is that?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
And of course not suspicious or threatening in any way.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, because they're coins.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
So one of those guys that's like paying his taxes,
he's going to the Federal building.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, parking ticket, yeah right right. We went to Las Vegas.
I was working for the FM talk station and we're
going to go up there do a live broadcast. And
our producer at the time was a guy named Jason
in Sulaco. One of my very dear friends.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I showed up the MGM a couple hours before
he did. He took a later flight, and I see
this guy come into the MGM. And you know those
bell hop carts, they're usually gold. They have four wheels
on them and you can hang clothes and put your
luggage on it, big bar over top of you.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, he had one of.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Those, and he was pushing a five gallon glass jug
of sparklets water.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You know those big.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Five gallons you put a bump on the water dispenser.
Sure filled not with water, with coins, and he was
going to go up to the room, separate it all
and that was going to be his gambling money for
the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And I thought to myself, Man, dude, chicks not like that.
That is not a way to get in good with
the opposite sex.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
When when my dad passed away and I was in
Tampa doing a lot of back and forth, and I
was on the last trip there, and in that last
trip I was driving back because it was I was
taking whatever I wanted to take with me from his place,
and he had exactly the same thing, a five gallon
jug or whatever of coins, I sat in a grocery
store in Saint Petersburg for three hours.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Pushing them into the coin change.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Man, I saw shifts, you know, the workers change shifts.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
How about the guy behind you? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Yeah, no, they just said, so you just go somewhere else.
And when I was done, they all wanted to know
how much it was.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I did too, the coin star thing, Yeah, how much
was it?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
It was like thirteen hundred. Wow, it got me back
across the country. I was able to rent a van.
Good for you and pay for the gas all the
way to get back across the country.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh man, that's thirteen hundred dollars a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're usually go in was like full, usually
go in with a big huge thing of coins.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You're like forty eight fifty two.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
And like what I think, Like so many people, I
grew up with the change jar, and my dad and
I had a little bit of a tradition, girl, a
tradition growing up where we would count it and each
and and various people that would come into our lives,
girlfriends or whatever during that time of the year. We
would all guess how much was in it, and whoever
get closest got to pick what we spent it on.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Do you remember the old days where you had to
roll it yourself with the paper roller?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Absolutely, yes, that's what we did, man.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And you had to put your count number on the
outside of the roller. Yep, yep, yes, been there. I've
been there, man. And and when you feel like a
king walking in at that big box of coins.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Humping coins, yeah, all wrapped up, and I thought MYOCD
was very happy doing that stuff, man, all nice and clean,
and had to fold that paper down just right, looked
all perfect. I kept thinking, oh, this is gonna go
in somebody else's hand.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Look what eye rolled. And they just dump it right
back and put it in a new roll. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And and they they put you put your account number
on it, so in case it's short a dime, they
know who it is, all right. But I remember bringing
coins into a into a saving not saving the loan,
a credit union in Burbank. This is years ago, and
a guy walked in after me and I and I
looked at him and I said, hey, Jen, I said
(07:58):
my wife, Hey, that guy looks familiar.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
We've seen this guy before. Who is that guy?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And she said, I don't know, it looks familiar. To
and she goes, oh, I know who it is. It's
the guy that always stands out front of the Target
or the Empire Center with his dog begging for money.
And he walked in with stacks and stacks of one
dollar bills and she rolled it through the machine and
he had twenty six or twenty seven hundred dollars and
(08:26):
put it into his bank account and then left with
his dog. See that's like one days where they work.
That's why I don't give money to people like that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I know that's what I want to do. That you do,
I like it, and I quit here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You know, I'd love to do as I get older,
and as you know, people stop listening to this crap
is I'd love to work at Low's. My brother just
got a job at Low's in Pennsylvania. Man, that's yeah,
that sounds like a dreamcause.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He's looking for something to do.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, he needs something to do good for him, and
he got a job at Low's. They give him a discount,
they got health benefits. He said, it's a cool job
and he already knows where everything in the store is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Jealous.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'd love to do it. And now home depot is
not even screening for weed anymore. Remember they used to
exclude you if you were with weed smoker. Now not anymore.
They need employees. But look, I'm there anyway, it might
as well get paid for it, yep, I said, Loads.

been there. No, no, no, we're not there. We're we're no,
we've been there. We've been there, we've been there.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
All right, let's talk about Oh we talked about the
stores closing. Oh how about this the insurance scam? Oh yeah,
insurance scam.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Oh man, you have got to get yourself a camera
on your car. If not, you could be a victim
of these insurance scams where some guy flies in front
of you, hits the brakes and you hit him or
they back up into you, and if you don't have
a camera, it's your word against theirs, and you're in
insurance company is probably going to just most likely pay
(13:02):
it off. And it happened in New Jersey where there's
a woman drive and they usually attack single women driving.
Guy pulled in front, hit the brakes, She avoided rear
ending him because she stopped, and then he reversed into her,
hit her, And it's been seen by sixty one million
people already online. And he took off after he saw
(13:25):
the camera on the car. So you got to get
a camera on your car. There's too many people in
this country now that are going to commit insurance fraud.
So what are those things called. It's not a dash cam.
You got to get a dash camera on your car somehow.
And there's too much scam, too many scams going on.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Oh my god, this terrifying moment caught on camera.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh my god, what does he do? Hey backed into her? Babe, babe?
What happened? Suspected insurance babe, babe?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It sounds like a sunny and share babe, babe, babe,
I got you, babes, I got you, babe.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Babe babe.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
Suspected insurance fraudsters intentionally backing into Ashpa Natasha's car on
a busy New York City highway.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
This guy has reversed into me.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
What the hell is going on to.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
My first instinct was that I got caught in a
road rage.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
It was very chaotic.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
The silver Honda accord cuts off Ashpa, causing her to
slam on the brakes, but when she doesn't hit them,
the driver putting the car into reverse and punching the gas,
crashing into her.
Speaker 10 (14:29):
I just proceeded to treat it like an accident, you know.
I asked him if they were okay. We were able
to exchange information. The guy in the video, he told
me that the female was the driver and she doesn't
speak any English.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
But then the backseat passengers trying to put a covering
on the back window as the driver climbs over into
the front passenger seat before getting out of the car.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, what a country we live in, huh? Where there's
just it's filled with a.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Holes pretending to be injured. They pull out their phones
to record the damage.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
They're rushing to leave. They were like, well, we have
to go, we have to go pick up our baby.
And so basically when I turned around to go check
on the car, they just like got in.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Their car left. Yeah, because they saw the dash cam.
They don't like the dash camera.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
After watching the footage, they believe they were being scammed.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
They were taking the videos to the police. They pretty
definitively say that they've seen similar scams like this.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, fraudulent automobile accidents
occur more frequently in urban areas, where there is a
greater volume of vehicles and criminals prey upon women driving alone.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, if you live in an urban area, which most
of us do, and if you have a daughter or
a wife who's driving alone, chances are they're going to
be a victim before you are.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Got to get them a dash camera.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm going out today to get three, one for me,
one for my daughter, and one for my wife.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Big just incredible.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Do you have one bellio? No, but maybe you could
pick up one. What do you.
Speaker 11 (16:02):
Chips?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Chips? And you're really that free drawer of snack food.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You're getting most of your calories every day out of
that hut loading up just incredible.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
And if you think you've been a victim of insurance fraud,
make sure you report it. Many states have insurance fraud
hotlines that you could call. And the scam could involve
more than just the people in the other car. It
could include doctors and lawyers who participate in the scheme. So,
just like Eshpia did, when you see something strange, trust your.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Gut here yeah, and call your insurance company and fight that.
I had a family member who got into not a
fender bender, it was just in a parking lot and
tapped the bumper of another car, and she had no
damage of her car. I'd have to point it out
in her car there's a literally like an eighth of
an inch by an eighth of an inch piece of
(16:50):
paint that was missing.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Could never see it with the naked eye. I have
to point it out.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And the other woman filed a claim with my insurance company,
and they were about to pay between you know, three
and five thousand dollars for the claim. So I called,
I gave out all the information. I said, it's a scam,
please don't pay it, and they did an investigation and
they ended up not paying it. Oh nice, Yeah, which
is great, Yeah, terrific because usually they just pay it
(17:15):
because they don't have to want to spend the time
to investigate it.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
It's a nice combination of people that just want to
get that payday, the ltigious type of people who you know,
get like you say, minorly hit and it's like it
no harm, no, you know, it's all good, and insurance companies,
like you say, being lazy.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Right, and if that, if it was successful, then my
family member would have a ding on her insurance and
it would be more expensive later on.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Than the insurance companies can charge you more.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's right, Yeah, it's exactly right. So try to fight
those with the insurance companies. If you have a good
insurance company, which we do, they will work with you
and they will they're on your side.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
They want to make you happy.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We've been with our insurance company, I think twenty two
years and they've been terrific.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Mine, from what I had last week has been fantastic.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, a little expensive, but I think you pay for service,
so I don't mind paying that much.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Times like this, you get what you paid for. That's
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, and it's comforting knowing you got a good insurance company.
Who's your insurance company?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Mercury? Oh you have Mercury? Okay, yeah, great, I have
a Mika. They're terrific.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Forty crowser Have you ever heard the term and I
hate this term? If we can use it on the air,
you'll be the judge crows up? If we can use
this term on the air, or we.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Have to dump it? I say yes right now, Okay,
then we can use it. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You ever heard the term bros before hose?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Sure? Okay, we could say that on the air.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right Do you think if you're a pimp or you
owned a brothel, it would reverse It would be hose
before bros.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
So that kept me up last.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Night, wondering if wondering if I'm reversed that ever works
or chicks before.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
For the ladies. Yeah, we'd have dumped that. Oh yes,
but I had an idea. Oh wait, let me play
this for you.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh we have we have more crime in the valley.
Seems like we always have crime in the valley. They're
going to change it to crime valley. San Fernando Valley
and now it's Woodland Hills. Guy is three hundred thousand
dollars at home, three hundred thousand dollars in cash at
(19:37):
his house and guess what, he's out of town and
that cash is just sitting in the house.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Who's got that kind of dough at the house.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
There's been a problem in the San Fernando Valley for
months now and they are continuing.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I went as us.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Your porter Lean Suter has the new video and details
of this brazen break in.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
Another neighborhood break in caught on camera in Woodland Hill,
the thieves smashing a window and crawling through, making off
with thousands.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Of dollars in three hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 12 (20:08):
Cash, jewelry, and a safe in all more than three
hundred thousand dollars worth. According to investigators.
Speaker 11 (20:14):
There have been a string of incidents going on here.
Several of our neighbors have had their property stolen. I
think they're getting really bold. I think that they're feeling
like they can continue to do that here and not
face any consequences.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
It happened Friday night on Dolosa Street. The homeowner, who
doesn't want to talk on camera says he was with
his family in San Diego and watched the crime unfold
live on his surveillance cameras.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How about that You're on vacation, beautiful vacation with the family,
and because you have ring cameras or security cameras, you
can see the people stealing everything from your home.
Speaker 12 (20:46):
Two men in dark clothes breaking into the house and
in a matter of minutes making off with a safe
and other goods, jumping in doing a waiting getaway car.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You know, I wonder if there's a high when you
get back to your hideout or your house, or you're
going with all that cash and the safe and you
pop open the safe and there's three hundred thousand dollars
in cash and jewelry, you know, watches. I wonder if
there's a big celebration, you know, like you get a
twelve pack of beer and you count it all up.
(21:16):
I bet there is. Yeah, I bet that's some kind
of high. Yeah, you know, a successful.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Firstly, you know, if they do a whole big thing
like what was it the Papa john stores we was
talking about last week, but they had multiple break ins
at the same time. Oh yeah, it took the safe
and it was like twenty five bucks or some really
small amountain there.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
They got to be just as depressed on that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Oh that's right. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, the
ying and the yang. But I think if you have
three hundred thousand dollars worth of cash and jewelry your
house and you have one safe, that's a dumb idea. Yeah,
you have to have twenty saves. Load them up to
have your stuff still, you have twenty safs and let
them figure out which safe all that crap's in, or
let them work for an hour trying to take every
(21:56):
safe out of there until the cops show up. Get yourself,
multiple safe, spread it all out, multiple safes.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's what you need. Safe after safe after safe, and man,
oh man.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That's gonna be the key to your life. Eighteen saves
in the house. Then they get in there like wait, what.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Which one?
Speaker 11 (22:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Let's get out of.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Here and they'll split because there's too many saves and
bolt them all down. Let them bring the bolt cutters
out and have them all bolt at the house and
electrifier whenever they touch it, they get zapped and they'll
cut that down and they'll be cut way down, so
we got a lot more crime in the San Fernando Valley.
People are stealing everybody else's stuff.
Speaker 13 (22:41):
The same thing that they did to us about a
year ago, where they picked up the safe, came in
with the getaway car and ran away.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
And get multiple saves, have twenty on the house.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
So the thieves captured on camera breaking into Roy's home
last year, right across the street from the latest target.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
They don't have to be real safe.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You can have a prop safe, a fake looking safe,
you know he can make for seventeen dollars and let
them figure out where all the loot is.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
A very similar mo the suspects breaking in through a
sliding glass door.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or get a bunch of safs and put nothing in
all the saves, lock them all and then keep all
the money under a mattress or in a closet or somewhere.
There's a lot of ways around this, a lot of
ways around this, and I always am suspicious where a
guy comes in eight seconds later he's leave with the
safe like he knows where that's an inside job. I'm
not saying the homeowners in on it, but maybe some
(23:32):
guy came in and did some work on the house,
and then he passed that information along to his buddy,
and all of a sudden, you're out three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's a lot for a lot of people. It's a
life savings man.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
The big story today is the Dodgers playing Friday in
the World Series very first game, Yankees Dodgers. The second
biggest story was the one on one was closed for
about an hour because the guy brought a suspicious package
into one of the federal buildings downtown. Turns out it
was a bag of coins, and somebody that the Federal
(24:13):
building couldn't figure out whether it was coins or a bomb.
It's coins, maybe they're rolled up, looked like a bomb,
who knows. But I think we got to do a
better job at figuring out pretty quickly whether it's coins
or dynamite, because closing the one on one freeway for
a lot of people sucks a lot of people. So
(24:35):
bad vibes. All right, let's talk about Europe. Lax to Europe.
Getting from lax to two major European cities just got easier.
Let's find out who's doing this? We can get to
a Europe a little easier low fare.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
Airline North Atlantic is already offering deals for trips to
Europe next summer. Flights from Lax to Rome are currently
going for around four hundred dollars one way wow.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
How about that four hundred bucks to go to Italy.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
Tickets are available now on the airline's website. Norse Atlantic
will also resume service to Oslo next May through September,
with one way fair starting at just two hundred and
forty dollars wow. The discounted fairs are in Norse's economy
like cabin, which only includes one personal item, and where
those passengers are last to.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Board a downside last to board. Who cares when you're bored.
I'd rather be last to board anyway. I always try
to be last on the plane. Why sit there with
everybody else? Why not be come on last? So that's
kind of odd. Anyway, you get two new destinations, or
at least two cheap ones. You go to Italy for
(25:41):
four hundred bucks or Oslo, Norway for two hundred and
forty dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Women sitting in palace.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Vertice, you know they've had their problems out there, their
share of moving houses and craziness out there for the
last couple of years. She's just in the house, probably
watching the news, maybe listening to KFI. And bang, somebody
flies off the highway and right into to the roof
of this woman's house.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Car that flew through the roof of a home in
Rancho Palace Vertices. That happened just before six this evening.
Apparently that car rolled down a hill into the home,
but it's unclear exactly how it wound up this way
nose down, rear, bumper poking out the top of the
roof the home.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Of course, someone was going too fast.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I suspect the home, of course, suffered extensive damage. As
fire crews responded. No one was inside or no one
inside was home, but the homeowner raced to that car
to make sure the driver was okay.
Speaker 15 (26:34):
I looked in the family room and I just saw
piles and piles of wood. The windows had shattered. It
sounded like the whole house exploded. I wasn't sure if
it was a gas line that exploded, but I know
something serious had happened. I was the first one that
got to her. She was kind of coming in and
out of consciousness. She's an older lady. She kept asking
me where she was. I gave her the address. I'm
(26:55):
not sure if she was trying to call on her phone.
I was just trying to keep her calm.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
The driver was taking the hospital. We are waiting word
tonight on her condition.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Very nice homeowner. All right.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
The Christmas tree has arrived at Citadel. That means we're
moments away from the frenzy at Citadel. Great place to
go shopping for loved ones right there off the fire
freeway between the six o five and the seven ten.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Beautiful, beautiful place to take the kids.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I got a good food court in there, a lot
of shops, a lot of discount outlets there. It's a
it's an awesome, awesome place.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
Hey, look at this, ready or not, the holidays are here,
at least at the Citadel Factory Outlets and commerce. This
is a live look where the giant Christmas tree is
arriving right now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Look at that.
Speaker 14 (27:38):
This year's tree is one hundred and fifteen feet tall.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
It is wow, one hundred and fifteen foot tree dead
for so we could celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right. I get that. I approve of that.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I like that, But I don't know how many more
years we're gonna you know, the environmentalists and you know
tree hug are going to tolerate this. So you better
get down there while you can see it still, because
I guarantee you I know what's going on in this
country one percent in the future. I don't know if
it's two years, ten years, or twenty years in the future.
(28:16):
This is not going to happen. It's not going to
be tolerated. There'll be enough backlash and there'll be enough
people who are saying no to this that the live
tree will be dead and they'll be there'll be a
fake tree there every year. But right now you can
go see the live one at Citadel.
Speaker 14 (28:33):
One hundred and fifteen feet tall. It is a white
fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's impressive. A white fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
One hundred and fifteen feet that's a that's like like
a ten foot I mean that literally, we're on the
fourth floor. It's two and a half times where we
are right now. Ten foot ten floor office building. One
hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 14 (28:54):
Feet beautiful white fur from Mount Shasta.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's impressive.
Speaker 16 (28:58):
It's always so impressiveent it's crazy that it's arriving right now,
but it makes sense they need time to prep it
right right. Several of the trees giant branches had to
be removed so it could be loaded onto the truck
for the trip to southern California.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Now, over the next.
Speaker 16 (29:11):
Few weeks, the tree will be decked out with more
than eighteen thousand lights.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
It really I've been to see that tree a couple
of times in the last you know, four or five years.
It's spectacular. It rivals the tree at Disneyland. It is unbelieved.
You can smell it. You can smell the you know,
the pine and if you're from that part of the world,
you know Mount Chast you have spend any time there,
you can you know that smell at night, that beautiful, crisp,
(29:36):
clean air. That is exactly what you'll be witnessing at Citadel.
Get up near that tree and it's spectacular. It really is.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Ten thousand bows and ornaments.
Speaker 16 (29:46):
The official tree lighting celebration will take place on November
the ninth, That is just two weeks from Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
There you go, all right, the dog, there's gonna be
a Dodgers mural of Fernando valenzuel Let's find out where
this is going.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Artists and mural Robert bargs is getting the word started
already as he preps his canvas, which is the sign.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Of this apartment building.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Just take a look at what it's going to look
like when he's all done. Once it's done, for Nano
Balanzuela will be immortalized on the side of this apartment
building in Boyle Heights.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It'll be visible.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
From both directions of the one on one Freeway at
First Street.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Oh good, okay, excellent? Want to want it First Street?
You'd be able to see it coming into an out
of town only.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
City Councilan Kevin de Leone's office commission artist Robert Bargets
to pink the mural. Marcus's work is on display throughout
the city of Los Angeles, which includes this mural of
Shoi Otani and Little Tokyo.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
This mural is going to be an iconic mural, an
instant landmark that will not only be a great source
of pride here for people who grew up watching for Nana,
but it allows the children of the future to be
able to look at an image and see themselves.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
That's great, okay, And one last story here Costco opens
its first location in Napa.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
The city of Napa is celebrating the grand opening of
its very first Costco, which is bringing three hundred and
fifty new jobs to the area and a lot of
happy shoppers, a lot of.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Them camping out over night.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
ABC's Avenues report of Lena how Lane joining us live
there with all of the excitement.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Lena, we saw the video of the lines that looked
like Black Friday.
Speaker 7 (31:17):
What if the people get for waiting in line all night?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Nothing?
Speaker 17 (31:21):
Well, excitement really is running high here in Napa As.
This is honestly the day many locals have been waiting
years for. Some like you mentioned, even weighted in line
for days just to be among the first few shoppers inside.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, it's really cool when a new Costco opens. We're
up in Washington a new one opened. It's it's everybody
in town talks about it. It's a big deal when
a new Costco opens and you want to get in there. Well,
it's clean still, and people aren't, you know, filtering it
up like they do all the other Costcos.
Speaker 17 (31:53):
Tucked away in the heart of California wine country.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
It's humongeys. It has some really cool things. You would
not think a Costco would.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Carry, but it adds flavor to what we already have
in the area.
Speaker 17 (32:05):
Costco opened its first location in Napa Friday morning.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Well, there's people waiting in line overnight, I think a
couple of days.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
So it seems like, yeah, I don't know about those people.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I don't know what's going on in your life Where
you can sleep on the street for a couple of
days for Costco to open.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I think it's a red flag. I think it's a warning.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
