Story of Chain Smoker v2 - Truck Thieves to SEMA Show
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- Strap in as we continue where we left off after the V1 build, Chain Smoker is back in it’s V2 form for SEMA Show 2021 in Las Vegas. Reuploaded and re-edited because UA-cam took it down due to some blud when I got beat by the truck thief, which is now blurred out. I’m coming back to UA-cam with a new 60 acre property, new toys, and a bunch of new videos, so tag along - lots coming shortly!
Update: the thieves were caught and the one that hit me was charged with assault 🤌
Glad to hear they got caught, way too much shit gets stolen these days. It’s awesome to see local guys winning and making whicked builds.
@@gerbil7771appreciate the kind words!
Its Canada .. Trudeau will probably give him a medal and a parade
@chriscomer1472 I was going to say same thing if it was in the USA!😂
Should've been assault with a weapon, attempted robbery, along with a list of other things... glad you're okay bud. Awesome vid, awesome work. Just found your channel!
One thing I like is here in Texas is if someone tries to steal your property you have every right to defend it.
God Bless America
Here in Canada people are forced to take in in the arse. You defend property with force you go to prison.
That pisses me off so much hearing you can't even defend yourself cause those guys would've either lived and ran away or been shot dead in texas, first time watching any video from you glad to hear it all ended well for you and you're okay after everything
Damn dude. Blow after blow, but that’s what separates the men from the boys!! Great job! Awesome build. Wish I had the freedom to just go all in on a project like yours!! I’m 52 going on 20 but have a 3 yr old and a job I can’t afford to miss work at, slave to the man!! 21:13
Respect man, you faced adversity and powered through. I can feel your excitment, congratulations!
Thank you Brandon I appreciate that! Isn’t always easy but is almost always worth it
That was a warning boop, just because it was SEMA week.😂
Epic build and epic story man i could watch stuff like this all day
New subscriber, 1st video i saw was your neighbor you never caught. You are a hell of a man let me tell u! Your personality and thoughts are fkn awesome! Never give up your a hell of a story teller too and there real not made of bullsht. Much respect and good Karma!!🙏🙏🙏
No cameras no evidence. Remember. You got big yard 😂
Your a real Hadassah Warwick. I'm glad you were able to save that truck even if it was a Ford 6.0
Nice to see Warwick post as a fellow Calgarian :)
Thanks bud! Represent ✊
You are a inspiration, you gave the middle finger to anything that got in your way of making it to the show. That’s bad ass.
You should definitely be able to injure someone on your property whilst they are trying to steal your stuff. That’s outrageous
I know it’s a complete joke
In the US, you could have protected yourself properly and held these 2 till police arrive. But, Canadian laws don't allow citizens to protect themselves it seems. Glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Stay safe🤙
What an amazing story!
Props man! Not gonna lie that tattoo is sick. You need more subs bro. Your positivity is inspiring.
Thank you I appreciate that!
Awesome rat rod brother.. Thats the great thing about Sema.. So many different styles and people all getting along and having a great time showing their passion.
Well said!
SEMA WAITS FOR NO BUILD
WE HAD SEVEN THERE THIS YEAR
But we are in Vegas
And I only feel like I got beat up
I polished a corvette hood all night Saturday so it can leave Sunday morning
👍👍👍
Wow 7 that’s nuts! Long year of work for you
Love the super friendly Canadian life style but bro!!! What the eff happens when you’re seriously hurt or worse just for walking up on someone trying to steal from you . People like that need to know immediately that what they did is not okay via a serious beat down or anything else that they will make them remember that lesson for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah love the build by the way! Awesome job 🤙
In Canada. If you hurt someone who is trying to rob you, you bury them in the swamp and go back to bed !!!
Great storytelling personality. This channel will blow up soon.
Thank you, I appreciate that! Hope so lol but I’m fine if it doesn’t, these are going to be awesome videos for me to rewatch in 20 years so I’m looking forward to that
Awesome video man very cool, loved every minute of it
got so excited to hear and see you take your truck back, that was awesome man great stuff
I Canada it would be smart to delete the starter wires or fuel lines from the tank on running vehicles that are not secured outside!
First time viewer instant subscriber lol what a fuckin story bud that sure shows some awesome tenacity and grit for your passion!! massive bud hope ya let yaself feel proud for completion of a massive mission!!! Jealous asf we don't have sema, lax car laws or so chill cops in New Zealand... love the Truck too!! the chains are sic! have you thort of flames or extra smoke on the exhaust? that would look sic smokin those tires ...flames bellowing haha Also SHOUT OUT to the TOWIE!! The Man! You would of made his night I assure you! I towed for 20ish years always made ya feel good getting folks where they needed ta be and some of those trips are memories forever!!
Oh and with the robbers lol you needa have a big arse wrench by the door lol and aim for a kneecap...they don't run so good afterwards an ya ain't gonna kill em...more slow em down for the police ta deal with. Or get a pound Dawg they are a pretty good deterrent and early alert system...or Motion sensor that sets of an alarm or flashing light inside is another good one...dunno if you cameras have the ability to set off an alarm pretty common option nowadays :) good shit anyways roll on next vid!! :)
👍👍THANK YOU 😎😎
Man you did good I had a motorcycle stolen from me I wish I could of caught them in the act
Bro, that border story, cool as fuck, man. I love it! Cherish that moment, and you'd better not sell that fucking truck!
Hahah thanks bro, you’re right and I try to cherish all the moments and challenges especially when I overcome them, and that border agent can rest assured Chain Smoker will be with me as long as I’m breathing
Damn bro what a journey. Congrats for making it and great job from all the supporters.
Thanks Cody, it was a wild ride and I absolutely couldn’t have done without those supporters
So awesome living the dream 👍
Amazing story of perseverance. Definitely inspiring.
Man, this had my heart pumping. Not sure why your video got recommended to me 10 months after you posted, but did they ever catch the guys trying to steal your truck?
Hahah the algorithm is a fickle mistress, sometimes she takes away but in this case she gives so I’m not complaining. Yes they did catch them thanks to my video! Although our criminal system is a joke so I doubt they served long or even at all
I'm surprised that you didn't move out of Canada after all that you've been through, but you are happy so that's what really matters, amazing build, and glad that everything has worked out for you, keep your head up, you're an inspiration to to lots of people who love older trucks and many others who are following a dream, keep up the good work
Oh man I haven’t even posted half of it. The amount of theft that I dealt with at my old shop was insane. Moving to the country was the best decision I could have made, although that doesn’t change Canadas inflation issue and overall decline in the economic world so moving outta the country probably wouldn’t be the worst lol
Love these videos keep up the great work
Thanks April I appreciate that!!
7:45 it’s just Canada giving you a snowy kiss good by
Great story brother, keep the dream going can’t stop now. Push
Some days it’s tough but the dream gets closer every week so you bet your ass the efforts gonna keep goin in. Right back at ya too!
Good content!
9 mm works better than a phone
Can’t legally own a 9mm in Canada unfortunately
@@warwickandrewsthen own one illegally 😂
Been watching your videos the past like month and brother you are cool as fuck I may build completely different kinds of cars but still can’t wait to see you grow!
I really appreciate that thank you for the kind words! What do you build?
You sir, are a whole, complete, badass!!
Just the little confidence boost I needed today, thanks Steve, right back at ya
Canadian Law is bizarre. American laws are VERY different.
Damn man, that rough as hell! Sorry but situations like this is why we are armed with "safety tools".
Thats awesome dude rescued you for sure! Nice guy!
Honestly one of the best people I’ve met in my travels and he couldn’t have come at a better time. Guardian angel territory for sure
I saw it in real life it looks fuckin crazy keep up the good work man 👍
I appreciate that thank you!
Hey man im new to your channel i just saw your neighbor harassing you in The city video and it was fantastic it seems you ate doing way better then he ever did and i feel for you 💯
Our 2000 F350 with the 7.3 (after $12,500 worth of upgrades including a new KC turbo) was stolen in North Portland while we slept at The Portlander Inn. We carried our luggage out at 11 AM the next morning and truck gone! The thieving rat bass turds crunched the front bumper/grille -- ruined all the door handles -- and kept all my tools, chop saw, etc. where the back seat of our crew cab used to be. It's such a violation and I'm adverse to any law which protects these sh!t heads. :(
What a story glad you got to meet some pretty cool people after the s*** you went through. the gentleman that took you the rest of the way to sema that's a good guy with a great heart. This channel is going to blow up especially with this kind of enthusiasm and passion for your build and you are killing it that's a badass truck! This video just got you another subscriber and I can't wait to see more of your content. Lastly that's a sick tattoo and you better not sell the truck LOL thanks for sharing this story with your viewers and glad it showed up on my watch list. What an adventure and glad to see those scum bags got caught and are serving time.
Thanks Vic as a new sub I appreciate you, and I hope my vids can continue to live up to the last!
I see a Reynolds museum magnet @ 5:33, I have a bunch of vehicles at the show every year, maybe see you there in the summer! I drive a 36 GMC hot rod tow truck!
Hell yeah dude the Reynolds museum is like heaven! I try to stop by whenever I’m in wetaskiwin (which isn’t too often but often enough for me to rediscover everything there) they also have a great TikTok account. Love to hear about the 36, certainly hope we cross paths!
The thieves can’t charge you if they can’t talk or walk or talk right
Brother im from Alabama you can literally shoot someone for looking at ur stuff wrong. I'm not a gun guy myslef don't own any but the fact you're the one that could've been in trouble for that one is insane down here they wouldn't have left that property stealing without atleast a few holes if breathing at all.. lol you were a animal my friend that was some Gangsta stuff you diving in that truck not knowing! I'm fan for life homie and so glad ur ok!! Also awesome builds as im not watching!!
Every Canadian has the right to defend themselves, to safeguard their person and their property from threats. However, with how self-defense is written into law in Canada, this right is upheld solely when the defensive actions taken are reasonable and proportional to the circumstances.
In California, a thief can get hurt in your house while robbing you, then sue you for their injuries...
Not if they can’t find the bodies
See, where i come from, we don't call the police. Things get buried out back.
Then the cops find the buried “things” and you spend the rest of your life in prison.
I have a similar idea for a tattoo across my back. It's a wildlife scene honoring my dad
Love to hear it brother, you should get it done! I certainly don’t regret mine
cool truck . i like what you did with the chains
Wow .. that's crazy ...the theives were I live .. you could legally unalive them 1 the threatened your life on your property and 2 you are aloud to defend yourself and your property here , and if you are threatened with deadly harm you can return the same to protect yourself and your property .... that's kinda messed up you can't even protect your stuff bro .. I don't say u alive someone , but atleast be able to defend and or protect your property that you work for and they just wanna steal like the scum they are .. smh sad but glad you had a positive outcome , minus the wrench blows lol .. peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on..l8z... ps ... super radical build in my opinion my brotha .. 💪🏽🤘🏽✌🏾🔥🏎
Appreciate the kind words. Waiting on the government change this year. No way Canadians are gonna put up with this for much longer
@@warwickandrewswhen i check your laws i find this:
Defence - use of threat or force
34 (1) A person is not guilty of an offence if
(a) they believe on reasonable grounds that force is being used against them or another person or that a threat of force is being made against them or another person;
(b) the act that constitutes the offence is committed for the purpose of defending or protecting themselves or the other person from that use or threat of force; and
(c) the act committed is reasonable in the circumstances
That doesn’t sound so bad? Here in Austria you can get a shotgun for self defense if you want, but the people in Switzerland or Germany have similar rules to yours, and i‘ve seen other methods to handle thieves there, that would scare most of them away quite effectively 😁😉
Sweeet ass truck brutha.
Effin Canada you can't protect yourself or your property, thank you truddy he has become a true commy leader!
Amen, he’ll be gone this year I’m certain of it
You didn't stay awake after getting hit in rhe head. And they didn't advise / push you to get checked for concussion...is that the negligence that you get with hearhcare up there? Not even good advice? Seriously asking.
They recommended I get stitches at the hospital but I was on such a tight time crunch that I had to skip it. Not sure about the sleeping or concussion part don’t think either was brought up but I was ok my head is pretty hard lol
That is a fucking dope ass tattoo warwick.
Appreciate that thanks!
As far as that stupid canada law, lim in florida. We have alligators and giant wild pig population. You got bears and wolves maybe? Pleanty of acerage up there. Dig a deep hole.
That is a awesome F××I ng store !
Hey bro was just checking out your stuff and decided to subscribe. I'm also in calgary.i like your builds. Sucks they were stealing your truck. I wish I saw those fucks stealing your trucks would of done it infront of me. Your trucks are SICK BTW bro. Good thing you went out when you did. Great job bro defending your stuff
That’s for the kind words Don! Definitely sick of all the thefts I was dealing with in the city but real happy to be in the country now
So let me get this straight, if you hurt a thief you can be charged and you can't defend yourself from getting robbed and hurt 😢 , so what deters crime from happening then ???
Nothing deters it, it just keeps happening. Week after week of stuff getting stolen. It was one of the main reasons I left the city for the country
@@warwickandrews Thats def something I take for granted, Im legally allowed to shoot somebody so long as im in actual fear for my life, i.e a robber going "im gonna stab you" and then proceeding too swing wrench.... Seems kind of backwards.
Self defense in the states is very muddy aswell, im just happy to be from Idaho, where literally everyone owns a gun, and is thinking twice about stealing. I have no pity for thieves, and i don't care to let my things get stolen either. Like hell im gonna watch my belongings get stolen and not be throwing hands.
Happy you got the property of your dreams now! Keep this content a commmin.
This is crazy bro glad u not a little B itch had some crazy shit happen two days ago. An the guy did have a knife an my buddy died they cut his throat homicide Thunder Bay tamerak
Holy shit that’s crazy I guess I got lucky I’m sorry to hear about your loss
Oui mate….. It’s awesome that they didn’t get that truck bro good job man it’s just the principal you know Mike can just think they can take your stuff like that man I get it. I hate the thief.
Hell yeah dude I was very happy to be able to save my truck and now that I’m in the country I’ve been finally living a theft free life so all is good!
Bro why you wanna live somewhere you can’t defend yourself.
It also now costs you 20k if you legally want to move out.
@@AlexBrucki 🧐🧐🧐disturbing. Sorry to hear that
Amazing work. What a story to it also! I cannot believe you’re unable to protect yourself, especially while being stolen from in Canada ??? not to mention they took all the firearms away. That’s horrible man.
Thank you! Ya it’s pretty brutal, hopefully a change of power shortly here starts things going in the other direction
❤
you cant beat your own immobilizer and alarm wired only you know how.... to stop people just driving away with your stuff.
I'm down here in Orygun old and frail don't want to go to prison for defending my property... so I keep a can of Sabre Pepper 🌶 Gel in a sturdy Mike's belt Holster/Sheath ..... if I ever need it I hope I remember I have it !!
Thank goodness for America Pewter Pewter Pews 😈🫡🔥Robbers 🤣🤣🤣
I agree and I wish our gun laws would go back to how they’ve been in the past but it is what it is
How did you get lucky enough to break down where you knew a tow truck guy
I didn’t even know him! Just called around until someone answered and the chance of him also being an old truck guy and then compounded by the chance of him being willing to pull an all nighter and get us there was astronomically small. Shout out to Bryce
@@warwickandrews man that’s lottery winning odds legit. That’s awesome looking forward to the next vid. Shoutout from Regina. I got a retired NASCAR for sale if you know anyone
Drugs is definitely cheaper than building sema trucks
About as life destroying too lol
Cp4 not a cp3
You sir are correct
That "someone stealing from you got injured",... yeah, that's dumb. Theives have tried to sue people here after they injured themselves falling through ceilings.
But the right sort of trauma causes short term memory loss,.. and they can always regain conciousness off your property.
Vegas PD would be well aware of how much money comes in to the city for the show, light and siren to tell you to behave n move along,..
So dumb. Hopefully it changes with the government here this year
You were at turn em and burn em no?
Hell yeah 🤘 made a UA-cam video about it too
Bad Chad had to do community service for 'stopping' a thief. Chad's in Nova Scotia.
No in canada you can still reasonably protect yourself and your property without suffering any legal trouble......pretty hard to prosecute a victim for defending themselves
That is true, but as soon as you do anything offensive (even if you’re just trying to save your property) you’re toast
Complete bull,
criminals dont run away when they no you wont have a gun on you to protect yourself.
Most farmers have guns and very few are registered.Most are loaded and ready for any punk on their property. Not saying they won't go to jail for it, but I don't want to get shot to find out if he has a loaded rifle in the cab of his tractor.@@tomsherwood1819
WAIT!!!!
they CAN charge you!?!?
Yep it’s upside down over here
@@warwickandrews they have to find the bodies first!
Bruh… where is your blickey???
Handguns are restricted in Canada now 👎
@@warwickandrewsnot allowed what so ever??
@@theglitch99 not to carry you can own them if there older and if u had them befor the law was made but u can not transfer them to anyone
No hate but why are
All sema stories the same “we were working up until 15 hours past when we were supposed to leave drama drama…. But we made it”… PLAN BETTER
Haha while I agree with this completely our build was not for reality tv, this was actually down to the last second. I had planned to be done a month before we left but issues came up and time flies
You need to learn how to start carrying a weapon just because you're tough doesn't make every time going to be where you win you need to keep either a knife on your side or a sidearm in your vest got to be smart
You'll go to prison for longer than the theifs in Canada.
@david929190 not if ur fully legal and have all ur video evidence self defense is allowed if it is life or death
Legality of self-defence
edit
The issue of the legality of self-defence with a firearm in Canada has been the subject of controversy. While self-defence is legal, it is very restricted. The Criminal Code recognizes self-defence with a firearm. The Firearms Act, 1995 provides a legal framework wherein an individual may acquire, possess, and carry a restricted or (a specific class of) prohibited firearm for protection from other individuals when police protection is deemed insufficient.[45] This situation is extremely rare: the RCMP authorization-to-carry application refers only to protection of life during employment that involves handling of valuable goods or dangerous wildlife.[46]
While self-defence is rarely considered a legal reason for attaining a PAL, the use of force with a firearm is legal as long as the accused can prove that their life was in danger. Sections 34 and 35 of the Criminal Code provide the legal framework of the use of force against intruders
#TrueFacts
Cant legally carry a gun or knife in Canada. I did have access to a utility knife in my shop for sure but I had no idea that this is what I was about to walk into. I’m just happy I saved my truck
ol smoky minus the driving skill
lol I don’t know if you mean that in a good way or a bad since ol Smokey went off a cliff but I appreciate that, it was certainly some inspiration
Average ford owners… 😂
i see no american flag ..why

Thanks Keith! They were done by Shamack in the UK, he’s the best biomechanical artist in the world as far as I’m concerned so I went all the way to him to get it done (made a UA-cam video about it too if you’re curious). Couldn’t be happier!
