It made me so angry when I heard they broke into your vehicle, it’s a different kind of sick for someone to steal from small businesses. I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you AX weekend
Thank you for your kind words Maci! It sucks people are targeting small businesses at these big events. Our livelihoods are on the line and they couldn’t care less. 🥲
I am so sorry your vehicle got broken in to and stuff stolen. That's absolutely wild who steals an artist's anime merch?? Like there's no street value for a normal thief and who can you sell that to within the anime community without it being incredibly obvious that you stole them?
This is absolutely devastating! I’m so sorry that your experience was soiled in such an awful way. The cut to being silly after crying was much needed comic relief (I cried a little when you were) Being vulnerable isn’t cringey!!! You’re helping other people by sharing this experience when you could have kept it private. That takes a lot of courage. I hope the rest of your year goes better!
Your freebie stickers turned out so cute! I'm so sorry to hear abt what happened, but you will come out of this stronger I promise. Be sure to focus on ya'lls mental health, and remember that at the end of the day everything can eventually be replaced. What's important is that you're safe. They may have taken merchandise, but they can never take away your creativity and resilience.
Thank you so much! We got to take a little break and then worked hard to recoup some loss. It sucks, but we'll bounce back! You're so sweet. It means a lot to us!
If you can you should make a post with pictures of everything that was stolen and that way we can look out for thieves and maybe you can actually catch them. Thieves usually get caught because they are re-selling.
Assuming these people are gonna resell the stock they stole somewhere, hopefully people will keep their eyes peeled at events/fb market place/ebay etc, just in case the assholes pop stuff up on there. I'm glad you filed a report.
I heard this happened to someone last AX (@thousandskies) and their stuff was found at an LA swap meet 2 months later! A few locals have told me they have illegal/stolen merchandise there all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up there!
@@quaphadoodle ugh.. I hope if anyone finds it they take photos of the people selling it. Put em on blast lol. I'm so sorry that happened to you, you we're so strong honestly I think I would've screamed
I used to live in LA and a lot of that stuff would pop up at Paramount Flea Market. I used to live half a block from it and when I walked through I was like... a lot of this "fell off a truck." I'm so sorry this happened!
Ugh it still makes my blood boil to hear about the theft. I'm glad you two are alright, though, and that y'all were able to replenish some stuff pretty fast. I'm still going to hold out the hope that y'alls stuff gets found eventually.
I'm so sorry to hear what happened! I can't imagine how scary and stressful the whole thing was. I hope you guys receive lots of support and are able to recuperate the losses. 💖
This is my 1st time to view your channel and i am soO sorry you went through this. I am from California and sadly theft has been at a all time high due to high rises on gas, food etc. Im actually from San Francisco and cars being broken into for the most stupidest crap happens frequently. I think U made a right choice to have high expectations and to be fully prepared to bring all your merch. It wasn't like you knew your vehicle was going to get broken into, sadly. It's very unfortunate, but the fact U voiced it out will crack down the situation as im sure someone will notice your items will be selling out in the streets claiming its their merch.... Keep Ur head high! The Lord always provides reason behind every disguise and never fails to in return, turn it into a blessing. At least that's how i have my take on it 🙏🙏. Just look at it as a flood. What do most people do when there is a flood and lose ALL their goods? They rebuild and start over. It may take some time... at least U didn't hand make all your items🤌🏼🤌🏼😭
It's great that you had a good time at AX. It's awful to hear about the theft. So sorry that happened to you. Theft is actually really prominent in most major cities across California so if you ever come back, you need to be super careful. Thieves love to break into cars with out of state license plates or cars that are parked at or near hotels. They know people who are traveling tend to have a lot of stuff worth stealing. Large vehicles like suvs, vans, and uhauls are also a favorite since they do tend to have more things to steal.
4rill! This 1 tourist who came from Germany rented out a Sedan or mini SUV in SF, they went to visit the beach and enjoy the good views etc. Their rented vehicle got robbed with all their belongings of the luggage's they brought and packed when they arrived in the bay. The sad part is the fact they just checked out their hotel too and arrived at the beach..
How devastating! I am so glad that at the very least, y'all are physically safe. I know you said this isn't about asking for money, but I would love to send even a little to help.
it broke my heart to see you cry... but i hope u had funnnn in cali! im so glad u were able to eat good and sleep in such a nice hotel! i hope whoever broke into ur van gets the worst karma! im glad yall are safe and ok!
so sorry to hear about that, hopefully things will get better and better for you. my heart breaks when you said sorry for crying T^T wishing all the best for you and your artshop!
Girl I'm so sorry your hard work was gone just like that, you handled it the best way you possibly could i can genuinely tell that you'll be able to achieve even more in your future💓💓💓sending you lots of love
Oh my goodness, i am so sorry this happened to you. I'm late seeing this update but i hope youre okay. Whoever did this will get the karma coming to them. But i dont want to add to the negativity you were feeling but my heart hurts for you friend. I pray better days are coming for you❤ stay strong and dont let this hold you back, youll come back stronger than ever ❤
Watched this video without knowing anything about you or the situation, but omg, it was such a gut punch as a viewer. I can't even imagine going through that myself. Kudos to you for moving forward, and hope it's smooth sailing from here! 💖
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Your feelings are valid and I hope you get all that bread at Otakon and make a killer. But thank you for the movie, I quite enjoyed watching it during my con crunch as well ❤
im usually just a silent viewer but that suckssss 😔 and to think the police would probably do nothing about this is just heartbreaking 😩 im gld you both are okay and hopefully you get to ern bck your loss quickly 🙏🏻
I'm so sorry that this happened to y'all. :( I hope that this incident doesn't deter y'all from coming back to LA! I hope you sell out all your stock at Otakon! Good luck!
Ugh that just sucks - it’s violating to be burglarized and don’t feel bad about being sad! My house got broken into 7 years ago and it took me years to not be upset by it. Do you have a Renters Policy? typically that type covers theft even in your vehicle - if not look into it to see if it would help you in this type of situation - it may be prudent for you when you carry your inventory with you! Good Luck and I love your art and vids!
I'm sorry to hear that! It sucks that people have nothing better to do than to steal and vandalize other people's property and livelihoods. We do have renters insurance, but unfortunately, it won't be covered because we didn't have a specific one. It sucks, but I'm glad we're okay and they didn't take everything haha. Thank you so much for your help!
Thats honestly so crazy that that happened, im so sorry bby 😞 What type of loser specifically targets anime artists?! Like they cant even sell that stuff on the street! It makes no sense. I feel it had to be an attendee. I hope youre doing better tho! I really enjoyed your vlog and cant wait to meet you at a con! ❤
I am just curious how they managed to roll up, turn over the van, and then filled their car and no one saw anything or stopped them. But also I would watch etsy and online sell markets to see if they resell your merch.
I blame this entirely on the crime culture of LA and not having secure parking lots for people to feel safe in. I'm so so sorry this happened to you. Crying is human.
I still would have filed a police report regardless of being a tourist or out of state. Otherwise you can't file insurance claims without those reports. Still sorry it happened. It sucks. I had a break in at my house last year.. came home to the burger. Sucked realizing how much stuff he stole from me. Including my pencil case I use for cons, which held my card reader.. and my hotspot I was 2 months from paying off from verizon. (no they didn't care it was stolen. I had to still pay it off) Like everyone has said. Probably find the stuff months later at swap meets in the area, or even here in Arizona. I live in AZ, the culprits from my house break in were from California. Its a common crime area. Sucks.
Yes! We did end up filing a police report. I mentioned it briefly at the end of the video. But we know LAPD won’t do anything (they even said they wouldn’t do much), and our insurance isn’t able to cover it either. But it’s all okay!! We’re good now. I’m sorry something similar happened to you. People can be so awful! )-:
Lesson learned, never leave valuables in your vehicle. I know it’s dumb but people break into cars for something stupid like a chocolate bar let alone mystery packages in a van.
Sorry to be random in your comments section but by any chance were you at Afest in Arlington Texas a few weeks ago and if so did you sell something like a taiyaki phone charm at your booth? I had gotten one for my sister but the charm recently broke off and she's devastated about it. I was hoping to see if I could track down the artist to buy replacement.
If the theft happened on the convention grounds like in their parking garage, I could maybe see the convention center or AX being partially responsible. From the looks of the video though, it was broken into after the con and away from the convention center. So you can't really blame the con for where people choose to leave their vehicles or merchandise.
@@jadedtrinity1810If AX wanted a new location, they'd have to move out of Los Angeles entirely. This is the only convention center they can use that fits this many people. And unfortunately, downtown LA is pretty rough.
not the $21 boba also seeing everything about the van again makes me so sad, Im still so sorryto hear all of this happened, i hope you guys are doing okay

I'm so sorry about the theft, I remember you and your friends posting about it on IG when it happened.
I am excited to see you at South Texas Anime Fiesta ❤ will definitely stop by and buy a few things 💜
Thank you! Can't wait to be back! It's one of my favorite conventions in Texas (-:
Everyone is so sweet whenever I go!
I am just curious how they managed to roll up, turn over the van, and then filled their car and no one saw anything or stopped them. But also I would watch etsy and online sell markets to see if they resell your merch.
Remember your making money in the end there many shows to come till the rest of the year
Im so sorry that happened! That is just awful! People suck!

Your skin is beautiful

The title omgggg😢
oh noooo that is so sick for ppl to steal when u are out trying to sell ur products

May I ask where you booked your hotel?

Omg yes that was me!! I’m so sorry it broke! Do you mind emailing me? Quaphadoodle@gmail.com (-:
Doesn’t your car insurance cover things stolen out of a vehicle. Maybe something to look into.
Omg gurl, that suckssssssss. They took your money too?
😢
So glad I could stop by at AX!
Thank you!!
Hi there I have good news for you😊😊😊
😊 hi there I have good news for you
Hello! If you have information about the situation, please email me or DM me on instagram
Both can be found in the description
Ax should be held somewhat accountable. This is horrible. I am sorry…. Disrespectful, I don’t care the reason, karma go after them!
If the theft happened on the convention grounds like in their parking garage, I could maybe see the convention center or AX being partially responsible. From the looks of the video though, it was broken into after the con and away from the convention center. So you can't really blame the con for where people choose to leave their vehicles or merchandise.
True but if it’s in a bad area, the con should consider a new location or more safer parking.
@@jadedtrinity1810If AX wanted a new location, they'd have to move out of Los Angeles entirely. This is the only convention center they can use that fits this many people. And unfortunately, downtown LA is pretty rough.
Why would they be responsible? She left it in her car and its her responsibility.
not the $21 boba also seeing everything about the van again makes me so sad, Im still so sorryto hear all of this happened, i hope you guys are doing okay
Oh, Emi. I'm so, so sorry this happened to you! I'm glad y'all are ok and made it back home safely. Hoping things start looking up for y'all. 🫂💜
