- We all make mistakes, but for your own sake. Please stop stealing from me. I will catch you every time and you will personally help load my stuff back up. As for this case we’ve resolved the matter and I’d appreciate if everyone respects them as we all make mistakes. And dude… please take your wife out to dinner. She deserves it.
Those cops will probably watch this too, and I feel like they deserve some acknowledgement for doing a good job here. Thanks guys 👍 Professional and efficient work 👏
Some one down town said.. Whistlin Diesel has 3 million followers. We might better do our job.
Amen. Usually search warrants do not happen that fast. In busy south florida a cop wouldn't have done nothing without picture proof of everything. Hell my sister stole 30k from me and I told the cops what bank she put it in her safety deposit box, text saying sorry, and her finger prints everywhere and they said sue her its a civil matter.
When I seen your name I had to stop and think “when did I post that comment?”
Yeah that is honestly how you want to see a situation like that be handled. Having been on the losing end of stolen property I worked hard for, and then being amazed at how bad I felt when it seemed like the cops didn't even seem to care or try to get it back, I think both parties did a stand up job. Cody was right about getting as much information you can. Also going to the place without starting confrontation and having the police come was perfect - might have gotten slept on if not.. cops did a great job aswell they could see they had what they needed to get the job done and they did. 👏 👌👍
I’m glad you herd that in her voice
He is not sorry for stealing, he is sorry for getting caught.
Thats exactly what I always say when someone tells me they're sorry. "You're only sorry you got caught"!
He seems like a lying sack of shit too 😅😅
Exactly
Too right.
That is the case for all criminals
I love how he blurred the faces of the family, but not of the thief
That's how it works. His family didn't do it, did they? No. It was him.
@@joe-ji8ykI respect that
No logic in what are saying. That's a thief, they've got his face on cameras on his own property which gives him the right to use them. So, no point to burr the face of a grown man who's may be 50 years old, without decency, stealing.
@@Choppa-yc7gq Yes the thife did spray paint the camera he is guilty! Did he knowing comet the crime that is the real question here? What do we as the viewer know? Well we don't know if the thief is mentally disable maybe not legally, but in the eyes of humanity maybe he was because the owner got his stuff stolen back and the owner for what ever reason decide not to press charges, so the owner of the stolen stuff decide not to publicize the man face on UA-cam, last I heard that is his right to do sense he is the victim of the stolen stuff after all, and we should respect his right to do, so no matter what you believe should be done, remembering your not the victim in this case!
Was the father sorry about what his son did I don't know ask the owner of the stolen it is his opinion that counts here! A gray hair man (that means most of the time he is over 40 years old without asking for his ID) steals someone stuff and runs home to father place say a lot to me! Why is the father letting his son who is well over 40 years old living with him? Did you ask that question before judging a man you know nothing about? Did the father make the cop work everything to the letter of the law yes he did why because it was his son who he loves, and wants to over protect by keeping his son near him because the old man is worried about his baby boy who may not have grown up and in the eyes of his father his son is not a man! How do I know this; well because today I became a man without ask for it, and I don't want it yes I am disable as well! RIP Dad!
60 yrs old. Thief is a Thief. He seems normal just a snake. MONSTER
Whoever granted that Search Warrant that quickly is a Legend.
For REAL.
Some days the clerical is the hero
Whoever drafted the affidavit in support of the search warrant that quickly was also awesome.
Once they had to do all the work to get the search warrant, I’d let the Deputies have the satisfaction of taking that guy to jail.
Damn right!!
Some judges actually do good work.
That was actually really sweet of you to block out the wife’s face that man caused shame on his whole family
Commenting to let your editor know there's a blur tool in Premiere 😊
Bet the entire family was in on it. You don’t come home with a bunch of stuff and they not notice.
@@e.g.7705You'd be suprised. I grew up in the sticks and people steal everything from ATVs to chain saws and tools to trucks. Their families either know not to ask or the dude just straight up lies about the origin of the new stuff. Either way the family usually ignores it.
Those officers deserve a big round of applause for how fast they took care of this.
Yeah, cause usually they were only that fast when corona regulations were broken
@@IcyBrown😂😂
Funny how being on video does that.
I applaud you for putting up your cameras and protecting yourself. You for sure have a forgiving heart. For. not prosecuting your neighbor. It is strange he says he has no excuse. And acts like it’s something wrong with his brain. He even made the comment. Oh, I thought the stuff was abandoned. That’s why I sprayed your cameras lol.
I hope you get your dad’s skid steer back also .
Why does the wife sound like Louis from family guy
The guy has a big property, nice house, multiple cars and he's still stealing? 🤦♂️
The truck never having tags on it is pretty sus to me as well. Professional grifters must be slipping with age.
How do you think he got a nice property nice house + multiple cars ........ Pretty sure not his first time stealing.
He probably bought that property by stealing
Many of the people begging for money drive luxury cars. Greed isn't something that goes away with wealth. Either you're an asshole or you're not.
And just because I know someone's going to say it, I don't include those that steal for legitimate needs in the assholes. If someone has exhausted all resources and needs baby food, they aren't doing it for malice and greed.
@@sienile I agree
"So, I find it funny,he's got a gate. Maybe he doesn't want someone stealing his stuff?!" I'm dead. 😂
"Got cameras too, I'll bet he doesn't want 'em spray painted"
What's ironic is the 60+ year old crook has an expensive house, steel roof, lot of land and he steals from this kid! Which I'm wondering how this kid who looks about 24 has so much money and property
He should be in custody, but it appears to be a well-established practice. You know, it's not his first offense. He has engaged in theft, spraying the cameras and other things. You did not file any charges due to his skin color.
Kudos to the cops for being super quick; getting that warrant in 20 minutes.
The case was pretty much handed to them in a silver platter. I doubt they'd have gotten a warrant that quick without a video.
Sort of wasted their time by not pressing charges though.
I know I didn’t think it was possible to get one that fast
That blew me away !! 20 minutes is unreal.
@@Yawbus1976 their jobs include mediation/witness of disputes in regard to law enforcement and crime not to mention public welfare and safety, charges or no charges if they get called for any other related role as a public servant, they kinda have to go. Especially for elected officials and those who work under them it’s really easy to get people fired in a small town if they lose popularity through incompetence.
This man is a serial thief, he has been doing this for a long time and you’re the first person to actually catch him. He’s not sorry for stealing stuff, he’s sorry for being caught and having to explain himself to his wife and the police. You’re a bigger person than me, I would have had him charged.
I don’t really think he’s the bigger man just for not pressing charges
I don’t disagree but what evidence do you have?
Should say came back to this and saw a good comment by Rob Craven that mentioned he drove around with a black rattle can and came back with an unregistered vehicle. So I’m happy for evidence disregard my last comment
You’re a much bigger person than me, I would’ve burnt his house down or stole his cars😅😂
@@jose6066 yeah I would have filed a civil claim against him since he obviously owns a nice property. And he could have spent at least a night in jail
I feel so bad for his wife, you can tell she knew immediately that he was straight up lying when he denied having taken your stuff, notice how she physically distanced herself from him at the gate?
Not her first rodeo with her dear husband.
She knew. Hubby keeps having tons of new stuff and cash on hand. Probably does not work because theives are hard workers and she acts like she does not know. She knew.
@@FindingGod365 Correct me if i'm wrong, but you're making it seem as if the wife was part of it. I don't believe she was. She knows her husband's character, which at that gate shows that she indeed knew he had in fact commited the act of which he was accused of.
But what part of having cash on hand implies that he's a thief? Yes he is a thief, yet i don't believe that's his profession. But what part of having cash on hand has to do with being a thief?
At this point you're purely speculating without any evidence for it, which I don't support. The way I see it, from behavioural analysis; I saw a woman who's husband does not care about others or the law. Which is a characteristic trait. She knows her husband's character, which is why she knew he did indeed steal or at the bare minimum did not doubt it to be a possibility.
From her behaviour, I saw a woman who's not like her husband, yet cannot do anything about her husband's behaviour. She does not like his behaviour, in fact she's ashamed of it. That's why she started crying. She seems like a sweetheart with a demon of a husband.
@@excelsian512if you aren’t working, and random items show up at your door step from you Partner.. they’re in on it. Nothing about the doesn’t ring an red flags?? The wife was either in on it, or just didn’t give a shit.
Yes she knows. That's why they have all they have.
The old thief is absolutely not sorry…
I love the way this young guy handles himself with kindness and compassion. Hats off to him. Let karma take its course.
The thief probably has stolen plenty of times in the past. He just happened to get caught this time.
There will be no excuses on the day of Judgement. No, you can't blame it on the beer.
@@robv1257Watch "Hang Em High" the guy blamed his horrific crime on "rot gut whiskey" the judge wasn't having it he was hung
For a guy who says “no excuses” he seems to have nothing but excuses to say.
Yea and he found probably the worst ones you can possibly come up with. "I took pain pills and alcohol, and felt like a wild kid"
No excuses, but here is my list of excuses. Guy is a piece of crap. Needed some jail time.
bro on god!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@luvpatum got proof?
Those arent excuses those are his reasons, but his reasons dont excuse his actions.
The fact they just had 1400 in cash on hand just proves they're better off than most people and him out here stealing is absolutely despicable. Should have taken the money AND pressed charges.
100% look at where they live
Sadly, once he accepts any financial gain/return in place of his property all criminal offenses would be null. Only course he would have left would be any civil suit against the thief.
100%, dudes just gonna steal again. The reason people commit crimes in the first place. No repercussion for their actions.
@@tj1999___ then hang out with more inspirational people…always have cash on hand for emergencies.
@@tj1999___ bruh do you know anyone with a stable job😭😩
He is sorry “only” because you caught him red handed, otherwise he would never admit it.
You could see his face as he constructed his sob story. He was embarrassed because he got caught.
And he let them Scott free
Bingo he wasn’t even gunna let them in the gate without a warrant! He was hoping they couldn’t get one quick and he could get rid of the shit I would have pressed charges thieves are disgusting doesn’t matter how much money you have
Yep - he's a thief and a liar. Don't be swayed by 'people about to cry' - often murderers do when handed long sentences. It;s not remorse - it's only concern for themselves - and as a thief they only think about themselves.
And he wouldn't be sorry.
And the kid handed the money back! That’s incredible! Like whoa! He was raised right. Polite, respectful, so much dignity. There simply aren’t enough positive adjectives. As a city dweller, I have no clue what a skid loader is, but I’m being suggested to watch “We might’ve found my dad’s stolen skid loader” and I’m hoping for an equally positive outcome!
At every point when WD has the right to put someone in their place, he takes the high road. Thoroughly impressed by this, and I’m looking forward to your continued success
Exactly this.
@UCh7-emSSOzU0VKHWDY7cpUQ wait is this fake?
@UCh7-emSSOzU0VKHWDY7cpUQ he's not an idiot man, he just thinks that was the right thing to do and of course he was filming so who knows what effect the had on how he handled it.... I was a cop for many years and personally would've prosecuted the shit out of that dude because anyone that'll steal like that you can be 100% sure it wasn't the first time or the last and the crook was obviously just trying to make up some BS sob story about why it happened to get out of it..... but hey, I was a naive good person at one point in my life so I can understand where WD was coming from... Lmao
@@WideAwakeHuman For sure.. this guy knew exactly who he was stealing from and what he was doing. Took the plates off and everything.
that probalaby comes from his dad being a contractor you put up with so much from people at times but at the end you do the job and dont let stuff dig at your skin he got his stuff back guy had bad reasoning but cody was there to get the stuff he worked for regardless if he could buy a 100 of each it is his to own that cody worked tobuy and have to agree about the high road thing that to a none bible reading man would be hard to let go
It's refreshing to see a sheriff's dept. that takes property theft seriously and got onto the case immediately. Glad you got you stuff back!
They only did because he said he was at his house. All you have to do is say "I'm going to do something about right this second unless you come right now." They'll show up ASAP every. Single. Time.
I've noticed in smaller towns they tend to give more of a shit. Try reporting a theft in a city and good luck ever hearing anything back, unless maybe it's over a certain value
@@Mikeysham Yeah man. I moved into a big city and got stuff stolen from me. I send them the company info that controls the CCTV watching at my car but the police dept closed the investigation immediately because there was "no video evidence"
Mentioning he was a UA-camr might have helped
@@jamesbyerly766 Definitely. The officer knew him and also knew that he was filming a video
When you spray-paint a camera and come back with an unregistered heist vehicle, you are a career thief. Guy probably paid for his house stealing and flipping tools, generators, car parts, all kinds of stuff. Driving around with black spay paint in the cab.... Every thief says it was the first time. This guy lived in an era without cameras on properties, probably been stealing for 40+ years.
Yep exactly
So true
Yuuuuuuup.
he wasn't very good at it... not sure that adds up. He most likely thought the kid wouldn't miss the stuff because he is rich... he did a piss poor job, so if he is a career thief he would have a record working like that.
@@erikaw7767 might be right. I think he’s either a klepto. Or he knew exactly who he was and what he was stealing. He may have been doing it for shits and giggles and now he’s embarrassed he got caught
He can blame pills and alcohol all he wants, but he still tried to keep the stuff, lied, and gave everyone the runaround when he was sober.
At the end of this video, I had a realization.
This whole channel was made just so that you can bring justice to the person who stole your dad's skid loader 14 years ago.
All of your material possessions don't matter, you destroy 6-figure vehicles just to reach a wider audience to hopefully one day find that one thief.
That's so fucking wholesome. I hope you find not only the person but the skid loader itself and have it completely restored and keep it that way. Destroy everything else, keep that skid loader mint.
Godspeed, WD. Godspeed.
I shed a tear, Amen
WhistlinDiesel : The Movie
Honestly the best vid he’s made. Kinda sad
This dude is a professional thief and a professional liar. He will definitely steal again.
Exactly what I thought
High probability of a pain medication addiction, and he'll steal again if he thinks he can get away with it! However you did it right if you want your stuff back, without it being held as evidence through the trial process.
@@arthurminiear2904 I would give him a lot more pain.
100%
hopefully not
These cops and detectives need some praise for getting that warrant as fast as they did !
5 million subs
Lol what are you talking about they did nothing!!!!
Well considering they were there and followed through as fast as they did comparative to how most “investigations” go I would say the timely matter was pretty good
Actually they were too lazy to arrest the guy
@@joeblow26 if you watch the video the guy wasn’t looking for an arrest. They asked if he wanted to press charges and the response was no I just want my things back. Explain what more you want compared to the victim? Lol come on man
I like that you were respectful about their family and asked your audience to be respectful too. In times like this, where anger could be consuming, keeping your head straight shows a lot about your character. Kudos
100% he is NOT sorry!!!
At his age he 100% knows what he did.
He is a thief & has been doing this for years.
The fact you didn’t press charges makes him think he can get away with everything.
Yeah and it penalizes everyone else as he's just going to keep doing it. Prison is the only solution.
The guys never going to live it down. His wife, friends, family, and alot of people in town are going to look at him quite differently from now on. He didnt get away with anything in all reality this punishment is much worse than a week in jail and some fines. Now both the internet embarrassment and pressing charges would have been even worse probably but maybe seeing that he stole from such a kind hearted and compassionate person will weigh more on him mentally then a week in jail and some fines. Doubtful but im hopeful.
😂 sure thing there bud, if that’s what you believe 👍
He definitely should have pressed charges!!!!
@@NeverEndinShow Actually, you press charges AND then plaster it all over the internet. That would have been a fitting punishment. He basically just told the guy, "hey, stealing is great, continue doing it my friend, but just not from me."
Giving them their $$ back was the ultimate check mate. Shows how wrong that guy was and on top of that makes you the bigger man ten times over. Hats off to you Cody
agreed
How does giving the money back show him how wrong he was? And why is Cody the bigger man? Because he has to go buy new cameras? Way to encourage bad behavior. Bravo.
Hell no he should pressed charges and let’s that guy spend the night in jail he really would have learned his lesson then
Stole the words right from me. Agreed. The guilt that man has to live with is going to be punishment enough. The new way his wife is going to view him is going to probably change his life. I LOVE that it was never about the money for Cody. It was about the message and I think that was really nicely conveyed.
Not only that, but the man is clearly a kleptomaniac, he does it for the simple thrill, not for the prize. By shaming him in front of his wife/internet and for being the bigger man, (despite being a third his age) will make the older man's delinquent desire to steal become diminished, as the pain of this moment eats away at him every time he looks into his wife's eyes. Jail-time would not have given him this lesson... compassion in this case, is justified.
The look on his face when he realizes this young guy is a much bigger man than he’s ever been.
mature is being able to look at a low life like that through him and not at him.
"Yall be good" Man should listen and take his own advice, none of this would have happened.
The fact that he painted the cameras AFTER the fact says a lot
@@andrewferguson8032 thought I was having a stroke when I heard that lmao
@@andrewferguson8032he is likely an alcoholic/addict and needs help. He admitted to being under the influence (by way of an partial excuse).
Incredibly mature and smart young man right there! Demanding that the thief come clean, return his items, apologize and pay for damages. Made peace with his neighbor - undeserved kindness is the best kindness. And no way is that guy going to steal from him again - hopefully the thief will get help and leave people alone. Forgiveness is best - revenge just causes anger and hate.
Yeah the question is how can that kid afford all that stuff, property money to offer a 1/4 million reward for a 20k dollar vehicle
Well done man... The shaming will be a worthwhile lesson even at 60. This guy probably got away with way too much throughout his life.
Of course he has, he spray painted the cameras and took the plates off of his 4 runner and knew to park the other cars he was stealing with out of sight of the cameras he could see, but he didn't catch one of the cameras. Anyone that steals that much, I know his family knows about it, he literally stole a truck full of stuff worth thousands.
Imagine thinking he will stop now. Lol.
Lol it’s a completely staged video
@@MADmosche what?
He is probably a kleptomaniac
I hate thieves too. Mad respect for finding these people and making a video for us to enjoy!
And he gave the money back! Hot dang man... Much respect.
Randy let's team up and find that damn skid loader 😂
He Definitely handled it much better than I could’ve
Yeah, me too. Especially when they continue being dishonest when you're doing them multiple favors after getting caught. Those crocodile tears were real, but they were his own emotional response to knowing he's too much of a scumbag to admit he's a scumbag from the beginning.
Everyone hates thieves lmao. In some cases we can understand(but still hate)
That guy is not going through a difficult time, he’s a criminal.
to be fair a lot of criminals do go through difficult times, it just aint an excuse for the behaviour
@@megaflamer What he is saying - there is no excuse for his behavior, he is living large on his property. Probably how he got his hands on it, but still.
Would he be less criminal if he had hard times? Being weak is no excuse, it is the point to overcome.
@@CraigKeahey No but stealing bread for your starving family is a whole lot different than stealing someone’s stuff for the fun of it.
@sawyer6489 sympathy is the cause of fake victimhood. I agree different and I agree no less criminal thus should be treated the same. There are no criminals doing things just to be evil they all justify it in their own head one way or another the only way a correction can be made is to make the consequences clear.
He so so so sorry…… that you caught him! I’m sure he will do his very best to never get caught again
Theif says "There's no excuse," but proceeds to make 1500 excuses. He's not sorry he did it. He's sorry he got caught. I hope this scares him enough that he doesn't do it again.
I wish he went to jail like a poor person would have
@JohnDoe-gi1vr booby trap is not smart. Most of the time itll be the wrong person/animal getting caught.
Also i read a court case where a farmer boobie trapped his shed and was charged because the person breaking in died.
@@robarksey2070 yes they are illegal but man they shouldn’t be in some cases.
@@robarksey2070 "Also i read a court case where a farmer boobie trapped his shed and was charged because the person breaking in died."
What part about the comment " Private property equals lethal force" didn't you understand numbnuts? Enter someone's property to steal and your life is forfeit.
Cody goes keep the money you're not gonna steal again. I bet he was thinking I'll make way more money than that off this video 😂
I feel no remorse for this old man... No one starts stealing at that age, he's done it before. He feels bad for finally getting caught, not for taking someone else's stuff. Spray painting the camera and removing the license plate proves he was on a mission. And the fact that he accepted cash when his wife tried to give it back further proves he's a pos.
He should have accepted the $1400 and just ripped it in half in front of him lol
Lmao and here he goes getting rewarded for stealing. Here's cash come back please
It’s a power move. I’m half your age and I don’t need your money you broke thief.
I do like the complete realization that he’s a pos at 19:34
Not to mention driving around while drunk and high on opiates!!
Not to mention he denied it when confronted with proof and still made the sheriff call detectives to get a search warrant and still seemed to fight it at first. I can't believe he wasn't charged with larceny after all that.
He’s not sorry he stolen your stuff, he’s sorry he got caught. There’s a difference. You handled that situation very well man, I don’t think I would’ve been that kind to be honest. But great job.
Throw the whole book at that boomer ass criminal.
@@michaeltigrett1793 Thats my First thought ? but on a second thought ,in order to be forgiven for things we all have done in the past, we first must be willing to forgive .
There's no telling how many people he has stolen stuff from in the past. And considering you let him off with no real punishment, he's probably going to continue doing it but just more careful next time. This man needs to be punished and made an example out of. Press charges on his ass.
@@BillBadMule123 forgiveness is important, I agree, but he had no intention of coming clean until he knew he was caught. I hope he learned his lesson.
@@BillBadMule123 he absolutely DID NOT deserve forgiveness. He’s only sorry because he got caught and he made that clear in his first interaction with the police.
I was NOT expecting that nicest gesture you gave at the end. You are one incredible human being. Thank you... SUBSCRIBED
You are a class act dude! Hats off to the local sheriff for being efficient and professional as well!
They let the criminal go... even with substantial evidence of grand theft.
@@TheChosen1uan because he didn’t want to press charges, if he did want to press charges they would have arrested him
I appreciate that
I just hope he only had your stuff there and not a load more neighbours stuff that he has been stealing.......You may have your stuff back but i doubt it's his first offence. Well dealt with on your part but the police should have arrested him and seized all his stuff
@@TheChosen1uan it’s not a cops job to give people charges in a civil case. If they could I would bet they would do it 100% of the time just so they can try to get some money out of it from court charges
The ONLY reason the stuff was returned was because the evidence was overwhelming. This guy denied everything up until a search warrant was attained.
don't believe everything u see on youtube. they only show u what they want to show u
Exactly, the people that are praising this POS thief are insane
They forgot to look for the Meth lab ,tweakers and thieves go hand-in-hand..!!
@@zelderan It's blowing my mind, the praise the thief is getting. I probably wouldn't have pressed charges myself, but I wouldn't have been as nice about it either. And I wouldn't have accepted any apologies.
Because he thought he'd be arrested. He should have just put it back.
"I don't need my stuff back, I wanted my stuff back" - that part.. spoken like a man who has seen struggle and despite his own success is still humble 👍👌
@MUSI⭕️ *SHUT UP*
This is amazing. I am genuinely blown away how QUICKLY and EFFICIENTLY they were able to execute on this and get his stuff back. Kudos.
His poor wife... Her voice saying "I'll get you some money"- my heart broke with her. This video is a prime example of how Cody may piss people off, but he is a man of character.
Yeah for real. Theres a big difference between destroying material objects to piss off relatively niche audiences and being a bad person. And he is certainly not a bad person.
She was crying because it's humiliating to get caught like this. He shouldn't have let them off.
He was being nice, nothing to do with how crap the family is
His tears were for the fact he got caught THIS time and embarrassed his wife. The cops reaction when you gave her the money back was amazing. Cops don't often deal with decent people like you.
Yes, the tears and excuses were only because he was caught red handed. The same guy only an hour or so earlier denied everything and demanded a search warrant.
@@Dockhead I agree. He cut them a huge break by handing the money back and not pressing charges.
@@Dockhead The fact they had that amount of cash shows it was greed not need. I think the wife deserved the break not the husband.
I know man and I would guarentee he gave it back to her. Because she gave it to him and it was her money. That she was using to pay to fix her husband being a piece. I love how the officer acted as well. Doing the job they do. They dont get to see someone do and handle the situation and act the way cody did.
@@graememckay9972 yep and I think it was her money she was using to fix what her husband did.
Handled like a real man. Respect to you for keeping his wife’s identity safe. Well done Cody!
@Matt P she is the one who chose to marry a thief. She got way more protection than she deserves. Even though she seems upset, she knows what kind of man she is married to and has stuck by him long enough to make her guilty by association
@Matt P oh I’m sure the neighbours know his wife real well, real well.
Dude, you have the heart of an angel. I couldn’t do what you did.
He didn’t become apologetic til he was 100% caught. That ruins his apology for me. He was verbally combative and trying to cover his ass til the warrant arrived so this was insincere. He’s only “sorry” he got caught.
Thank you for the respect to his wife. I cannot imagine my husband doing something like this. I would be humiliated.
He knows it
He even admits to seeing his youtube videos so he knew him somewhat as well. Pretty fucked up
His wife knows what he does, stuff doesn't just magically appear and I'd bet he's done this for years. Theft for some people is like gambling or drinking. It's a rush and half the time they do it for the fun of it. This guy doesn't look down on his luck, he probably needs psychological help.
It might appear that way, that he's only sorry because he got caught, and common sense and experience might even tell us that is exactly what's happening. And that might be a correct assumption. But it's not hands down 100% the truth. You never know, the embarrassment alone might have kicked him in the teeth enough for him to start feeling actual guilt. Everyone has an image of themselves, and people like this, often lie to themselves about who they are, or why they do the things they do in an attempt to justify their actions, and a lot of the time they end up believing their own bullshit. So if he thought to himself "I'm usually a nice guy and I don't do shit like this, but times are tough and I gotta do what I gotta do." you never know what he was thinking when he was staring down the barrel of reality. Maybe he couldn't deny it any longer, that he was kind of a piece of shit.
All of that being said, I'd only feel as sorry for him (if you were at all inclined to do so) as you could while keeping him at arms length.
@@jensimaster I mean we know this guy to be a liar, if he's going to lie to the cops he's probably lying to his wife.
"You're a stand up guy, we don't see that very often...." Means a lot coming from the cop... Well done.. Having his wife find out was worse than prison time..
I would love to be a fly on the wall after her ripping him to shreds for his stupidity for the next month. and then once every year until he’s in his grave…. Maybe because of her
Ehhhh. She knew. This is life, and not likely a first or even 20th time. Spouses are often part of it. He spray painted the camera, removed his plate...this is not an impulse.
However if he pressed charges of burglary, that stuff would be in evidence locker for two years.
Look at what the cops were doing, they could've arrested this old fart, but southern ways...I wonder if the old man was former law enforcement with the kiss-ass 'just give it back' treatment.
"Having his wife find out was worse than prison time.."
A big BULLSH!!!T. That old bastard needed felony charges brought against him. Guaranteed that wasn't the first time he has stolen from people. He needed to spend a couple of years behind bars to get what he deserves.
@slimslam I totally get the sentiment... but sometimes people really do make one off mistakes... occasionally big ones. Hopefully this was a wake up call for him and he truly is sorry/becomes a better person because of it.
You could easily look at something I've done and say what you're saying about this guy to me. I did get convicted, but I didn't to to prison and could easily he considered as getting off easy. I can't begin to explain how sorry I am for what I did and I've worked hard to be a better person. I'll never screw up like I did before and I'm thankful to have a second chance. My point is that if someone is truly sorry and the person they wronged wants to forgive them, then that's pretty cool. Now, if they ruin that second chance then by all means throw the book at em, but there's nothing wrong with mercy.
Imagine the shame of knowing 25 million people have seen your face and know you are a thief. Everyone in this man's community knows what he is now.
They already knew. The wife already knew. The cops already knew. They all probably hired this guy for the sting operation.
It's a very small town everybody knows everyone
@drewT yeah... That's why he covered his wife's face? Because only he was hired?? 😂

Cody: no hard feelings
Proceeds to post guy stealing on channel with millions of subs
I never comment on anything on here, but I have to say that I’m completely blown away with how you handled this situation. That took a level of class and compassion most people couldn’t display. Respect
I completely agree 👍
Right I would have said lock his ass up he deserves it
Right, If I was Cody id buy his house and sell wood chipped bottles of it 👌
Shut up jon you swear like you can
I love that he did the reverse of every influencer and told us in great detail why a product sucks. That jack rant was perfect.
Jack Shit brand made in China for SUO (Single Use Only)
Who makes a 3 ton jack with plastic wheels, it actually looked like a Tonka toy jack.
Hi from Australia, I got a decent 3.5 tonne trolley jack with detachable handle, solid axles, proper steel wheels that require that I have timber under it when I work on a vehicle on the side of the road so the jack can roll it raises. A jack like the one he showed would be banned from import and sale here as it would not pass our "Safety Standards".
I appreciated it
Should if charged him, this is prob not the first time or the last! He is not in need, just a thief that has stoled things all his life. I would have taken money for his damage. All that stuff, house shop, trucks, motor home prob all bought selling everything he has stolen.
For those of us who have had things stolen and been helpless to do anything about it, thanks for letting us live vicariously through you.
So true. I lost a bike that I rode daily. I was in a bike store buying a lock for the truck rake that my bike was on. LIterally buying a lock so it wouldn't be stolen. The bike store guy was in the back doing whatever so it took forever. Homeboy cut my straps and took my bike that didn't have a front wheel attached. This happened in downtown Buffalo as I was moving and nobody witnessed it except one guy who said "maybe someone with dreadlocks".
So as I was moving from Buffalo (not a bad place really) I lost my bike. I searched for over an hour and made a police report. That bike was like family to me. I actually got it from insurance money from having another bike stolen. Except this bike was like part of my body. I cried hard as i drove south to new beginnings.
Yep. My storage shed got cleaned out. I lost everything...everything. It cost 30 grand to buy all that stuff up again and took 3-4 years. I lost guns, camping gear, elk and deer heads, furniture, books, 30 boxes of bullets, fireworks, all of my clothes, kitchen ware, TV, 2 PC's, $4,000 in gold bullion, tools. And worst of all, I lost all my photo albums with hunting, fishing, and camping pics since I was a little kid.
This dude stealing all that stuff is just so disgusting... got a big property and tons of stuff and is certainly not poor in any other way but in his head. Standing there and denying everything until he has no way out. It was no kneejerk reaction as well. Dude kept coming and stealing stuff over and over and planning all that stuff. Big props for Cody for letting him off the hook so easy. I am a really patient and easy going person, but I can certainly say that I would not have the grandesse of letting this guy slip the way he did.
What a great local police dept. That was quick action taken.
Just need to give a shout out to the young rookie in Gonzales, TX many years ago. He was just a beeboppin' along when he sees a beat up, old, nasty truck come careening out of a side road and decided to a quick field check. Upon walking up to the truck, he noticed a couple thousand dollars worth of gas room heaters and hidden pile under a tarp. He began to casually chat the boy up and the boy was sweating profusely. So, he called the boy out to the back of the truck and while talking to him, noticed the butt of a rifle sticking out from under the tarp. He asked the boy to show him what was under the tarp and immediately detained him for suspicion of burglary. That quick thinking rookie recovered 6 stolen firearms, two expensive gas room heaters, a few thousand in cash from a drawer in my dad's study, and several thousand dollars worth of electronics. We now have three large safes in the walk in closet, where we keep firearms not currently being worn, the coin amd cash collection, and various other unmentionables. In addition to other security measures, we have posted two signs. The one at the gate off the caliche road says "trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again." The one way up the driveway at the yard gate says "if you can read this, you're in range." That was some damn good policing from that rookie.
@@TreeFreak Oh you're from Gonzales, that's awesome. It's a neat little town, lots of history, I love it. My family has some land between Thompsonville and Waelder. Small world. Shout-out to that officer as well, he did a fine job.

She'll punish him more than the law could...
That was the plot twist I didn't know I needed.
Well done. 👏 Senior robber can't compete with you youngsters! Give me a effing break. He's NOT SORRY. He's just ashamed he got caught. BS AH stealing at this age in life. Gross behavior from him, he should be ashamed and I'd watch my back with this kind of man as your neighbor. Pathetic behavior by this old man who 1000% knows WAY BETTER , the excuses are sadly not helping in anyway shape or form. Hot bs air. Glad you got your stuff back. And you took the high road in dealing with him, I'd press charges myself, it's illegal to steal and I think he needs some schooling. We learn the most when it costs us money. Should have taught him that lesson.
Now go find that loader! I know you will. Give us that video too. Be safe!
"We watch you all the time" The fact they probably saw this video is such a good punishment in and of itself. Shame on him, imagine being a thief and getting this comeuppance. Good job Cody. You're a better man than I would have been.
The fact he sprayed the camera is proof he knew he wasn't doing the right thing.
he never said he didn't know lol
@@boredwithadhd he tried to justify himself by saying that people abandoned this stuff... it was the attempted justification which was bs. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I took a pain pill lmaoo bro unless you took a roofie you no ur a big child who stole and got caught....
Carrying a can to SPRAY the camera is premedication, NOT spur of the moment.
I can honestly say that I wouldn't have reacted this well. It really just shows how great of a person Cody really is. People love to talk shit all day long about him, but here is another perfect example of the contrary.
deadass hes probably gotten into legal trouble before and once you have any kind of exp with the courts, you typically learn to play by their rules versus taking things into your own hands because the results are better.
@Self Made Auto not everything is staged, get out your mom’s basement and experience the real world. People steal and get caught, it’s not like he caught a murderer

And then hes given money to by that 25 year old 😂
He isn’t even 25 yet 😂😂
Oh how the turns have tabled
Old man should have known better. What an embarrassment.
It's not a felony to act like a fool.
You're great person! The man and his wife were humiliated enough and sometimes learning a valuable lesson is better than money. The fact you did that is priceless! Great job!
Wow. Not only great content with this, but showed how much of a respectable young dude you are. The cop was right in what he said about you. Good on ya Cody!
I think you're an idiot for not having him locked up
Instead of charging him, outing him as a thief to 11 MILLION people and counting is a WAY more satisfying punishment. Well done.
I still would have taken the $1,400 for the cameras. It's the principle of the thing...the guy destroyed property and should have to pay for it.
How about both? Best of both worlds. The 11 million people watching will go on with their lives
Charges are worse pal
Both are possible but WD is a Pvssy.

The portion of the video from 15:40 to the end is the reason I liked and subscribed. This is just incredible. Integrity is something we must strive for daily.
The fact the Police responded so quickly with a search warrant is the thing that makes me happy. Police get shit on for a lot of things. Props to every Officer and Detective out there doing a job this good.
Oh yeah real good work. They let their buddy off the hook. They didn’t need the property owners say on weather he should be arrested. They let his ass off the hook
@@MikesGarageReviews .Yeah. They responded quickly, but should have at least had the guy have to appear in court. Make him sweat it out some.
The slow response time for police is the fact that it has to be investigated. This young guy did the heavy lifting for them and THAT was the key to a quick process of getting justice. RARELY does stuff like this work out to your benefit so fast. This was a very satisfying conclusion except for the that this THIEF lied then tried to rationalize his behaviour...Forget Him!!! Well, now he knows and he's an embarrassment to his wife as well.
Search warrants take maybe 15 minutes to obtain..the officer passes it up to their supervisor who calls a judge and they explain what they got and the judge will sign a warrant.
The reason why this guy didnt go to jail is because the owner of the property made it a civil matter instead of criminal meaning they came to an agreement and he didnt press charges.
If you guys have anything with a vin # or serial # save that info because if its stolen thats what police will need along with an estimate of what its worth. So if they do a drug bust they will run the vin and serial #s of everything in a nationwide database and if it comes back as stolen they get charged and u get your shit back or if its destroyed its on file along with the estimate and the court process is super easy at that point.
I work as a 911 dispatcher and police work isnt taking fingerprints and foot prints and hunting people down, they take reports for you incase its insured and document the stolen items incase they find them in the future. In the 4 agencies ive worked for we are always busy, so take 5 minutes to document your shit so we can find it
White privilege. Try getting a warrant or your stuff back in the hood.
Impressive though I agree. Great response time
Criminals only get embarrassed when they get caught. I wish we all could get justice like this. Great job!

Loved this for you, made me so happy! You did the dirty work and so proud of you!!! Smart af and totally worth it great job!
He claims taking 2 pain pills made him steal those items. I have to cry BS on that. It was nothing more than greed and envy. So glad you got your man toys back! Your a very forgiving man for not pressing charges and KUDOS to those wonderful officers.
tbf a couple of percs and a xannie and even jesus would be shoplifting or thieving. idk what it is with xanax but its good for two things, time travel doing stuff you dont remember and stealing shit. after hearing that he watched his videos i dont believe any of that excuse
@ertpecsertpecs I agree with the xannie part, just not the pain pill excuse. I was addicted to pain pills for 3 years... and I swallowed a handful at a time. Never once did the pills alter my behavior in any way. I was injured and got addicted... unfortunately. I've been clean for 15 years now.

It's not the first time he's done this, just the first time he's been caught. You guys handled this really well and maturely. Hats off to you guys from Australia
You're definitely correct that it's not his first time! Some people just have that thieving mentality and I don't understand it, but I've had friends here and there in life who've stolen from others and confided in me about it. I know from talking to them that it's something they consider in certain situations while the thought of stealing is the furthest in my mind. I think maybe they're born with that tendency, I don't know... This guy though, he WILL steal again. It won't be immediately, but after all the smoke clears and his life habits put him back into a tough situation, you can bet he will do it again, in the meantime, he will just be scouting opportunities as he goes through his daily life. Give it a year or two, these people pretend to care about others but they don't. His empathy was fake, his apologies to this young man were NOT genuine. That's okay though, this UA-camr STILL did the right thing and is a better person for it. I've learned a long time ago that when people do me wrong I don't have to be the one to take vengeance, the universe has a way of sorting that out automatically. People get what they deserve and the less we interfere with that process, the sooner it will probably come for them, and with interest. Great video, cheers!
Do might I ask do you know for a fact that he's done this before I mean since your from Australia I can't help but think your presuming that he's done this before by the way he acted/acts 🤔 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤨..!!??

@@JustinOhio Yea I wasn't falling for his apology either.
Who cares if you're from Australia
He's not the LEAST bit sorry he stole, but he's very, very sorry he was caught!
I hope the police checked the VIN on all the vehicles.
It seems like they have excellent law enforcement in that area. I truly hope they are investigating him behind the scenes for other crimes in that area. Who knows what else they'll find!
Some of the things he stole is just junk. Probably has some compulsion to steal.

@@thebluelibra5686 - Yay! And anyone who knows the husband personally also knows his wife !

This man’s punishment is living with a wife who sees him as a coward, thief, and a liar. There is no greater dishonor than embarrassing your own wife.
His wife is probably condoning his scumbag behavior
I agree. If I were the theif. I'd care less about what the cops were going to do.
And more about losing face with my wife and family. Unless, they already knew what you were.
The thing is being a scumbag he will never acknowledge that is nothing but a piece of shit.
Embarrassing your kids I’d the worst
His kids would be cut from the same mould and scumbags too.
He lied to the cops prior to getting the warrant and made all those excuses after getting caught I would have pressed charges. I can’t stand thieves
The video has probably done more than any charge he might have got. people will be whispering about him in town for years and blaming him any time something goes missing in a 20 mile radius of him.
Liars also. No accountablility at all. He got caught red handed and stil cant be a man and admit to be a thief plain and simple. What a coward, and he already embarrassed his wife with his selfishness.

Prosecute the "Aw shucks I'm sorry" guy and maybe his neighbors might have realized what happened to their missing stuff to. If they would have pulled the warrant the next day all that stuff would have been gone and he would have been irate and "how dare you"
"No excuse, but here's my excuse." So glad you caught the guy. This is a very satisfying video. And you're far too kind.
I would not have been nice. I'm very impressed with how you kept your cool.
He went from "I took some pain killers and alcohol and wanted to feel like a kid again" to "I saw the for sale sign and thought everything was free" real quick.
I feel like he was explaining his mindset, and when he said no excuse he was referring to how there is no justification to his mindset.
The second he mentioned pain pills and drinking while driving, I'd definitely want to press charges.
Huge difference between crime of poverty to survive vs putting others at risk.
His excuse:. "I wanted to steal your shit from day 1, and needed to come up with an excuse that sounds plausible to morons so i could give less fucks about you than i already do".
Impossible to know what he’s like in person, but Cody seems like a standup guy. I respect the way he handled the situation. Class act
I cannot believe how fast those cops/detectives got the job done. Kudos to them... and you. You are a good dude. I think you were much nicer than I would have been.
I absolutely can. Nothing lights a fire under pigs asses like media attention. Like most, I'm done with giving cops the benefit of the doubt. WD already did most of the work for them. It was open and shut and everyone involved gets an easy win.
@@MrSatchelpack kinda ironic considering how you've been brainwashed by the media into hating all cops.
I grew up in a rural area like that and the Sheriff's deputies and even State Police take things like that very seriously because petty theft can turn into a series of murders really quickly out there where nobody will hear a gunshot or take it seriously. And I assure you that the local pig farmer will have no problem letting his hogs eat...
@@MrSatchelpack yet if you were in danger you would call 911 immediately
