How Car Theft Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider
I grew up playing GTA my whole life and I never even thought about stealing a car 😂
or the countless other heinous things that game does.
Most men have played GTA and COD but yet commit no acts of crime.
@@DaOldSchoolRapLova96 Its probably cos we did it so much, the idea of stealing a car got boring. xd
@@edabercrombie2691nah facto
Personally, I didn´t get the feeling he was blaming GTA for his actions. Just that I it probably didn´t have a good impact on him. Got more of an impression that he was asked a direct question wheather he ever played GTA, and answered it.
This guys blames everything else except himself. The drugs did not make you a criminal, nor did some videogame. You made those choices and they were wrong. In between he constantly admits that it was actually really fun to do, he loved the rush.
I think you are reading too much into it. He didn't blame drugs, he merely pointed out that drug use leads to crime, which everyone knows. As far as saying it was fun, in order to tell his story he has to take his mind back to those days, and yes, I'm sure there was a rush to it and probably fun at the time. It's very clear he now fully recognizes how bad it was to to do that stuff.
@@xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've personally used a wide variety of drugs (all in places where the drug I was using was legal). I got the money through legal employment, and never have I been like "you know what would make my acid hit better? Stealing a car and plowing over civilians on my way to get McDonald's with this $10 I just got by selling my bootyhole on the corner." Drugs don't lead to further crime, criminals who deal drugs leverage addicts sickness that lead people to further crime.
@@xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Drug use can lead to crime (non drug-related) but it's certainly not a sure thing and would be a clear minority of users.
@@xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yes, drugs alter your psychology, make you less employable and give the need to fund that addiction.
I could tell before it even really happened mostly. 0:46 is how far I made it before pausing the video and I will not continue and watch this. This guy is extremely unsympathetic.
Former military..... blames video games halfway through..... ironic given the DoD's game development spending.
Yeah.. I love GTA and I've never wanted to act out the game in real time...
Sounds so weird too. Grew up in rough neighborhood with gang connections yadayada but blames GTA
It's not unrealistic whatsoever. There is a subset of people for whom a video game, a movie or even music will spark an interest in something, be it something positive OR criminal. It's really not that hard to understand if you don't have the I Q of a jar of mayonnaise...
@@TheUltimateBlooper Actually, it's the opposite. You can only relate to something that stupid if your IQ is in the single digits.
@@TheUltimateBlooper It's pretty easy to understand that if you're easily influenced into crime by a video game, you likely weren't going to be a good, contributing member of society anyways.
Yes please, blame it on videogames... Oh God...
cope
wait until after gta6 comes out haha
Then gets a free pass because he was in the military 1 year without seeing combat.
Video game helped train a generation of criminals
@@Artur-kp4hjsdfu lil nga
Failed rapper, failed drug dealer, junkie and car thief and everything is not his fault but GTA needs to be forbidden. Also lots of his stories sounds like pure bullshit six hot persuits in a day, sure......
ikr? that's a failure! not a bragging point. you don't want to be noticed.
I mean, he wasn’t a failure as a Marine and he wasn’t a failure as a car thief either. Sounds like he would have kept going had he not stopped to take a nap, but he was definitely going to get caught at some point.
Though he was a failure I'm sure you wouldn't talk to him like that irl 🤣 . He's a marine for one, and secondly, he was a good car thief. Just cause you may not like the message doesn't mean you have to kill the messenger. L Take.
If video games and movies etc didn’t make much of an impact on people, our govt wouldn’t bother to pour so much money into them, nor would they play such a huge role in writing/shaping the substance of the media/what propaganda gets put in them. But we know they very much DO “bother” with doing that. Ever heard of Edward Bernays??
@@analogueoverdigital929 Copy That. .. Agreed.
This guy should be forced to pay the victims he stole from.
With what money?

Oh yeah? Well, I grew up watching road runner and coyote cartoons, and never once thought of dropping an anvil on anyones head. 😆
Lol, true. And we never took a can of spinach into a fight
I did, but found out in reality anvil's are way heavier than they appear in cartoons! I also found the lack of readily available grand pianos for cheap to be annoying.
@@FastSS02 🤣
You guys didn't have my sisters to contend with on Saturday mornings🤣🤣🤣🤣, Dad had a block and tackle that I knew how it worked....could never get them to sit still long enough in one place for a direct hit.😁😁😁
This guy is so full of bullshit and himself.
Still has toxic masculinity.
Yea he def seemss like he's exaggerating to push a pro cop /tough on crime agenda
Came here to say this. He said would be chased sometimes 5 - 6 times a day…I call BS!
Doing these videos will look good for his upcoming parole hearing.😂. A tree born crooked never grows straight.
I knew he didn't know what he was talking about when he said you need mail to have people's address. Most people keep their registration in their glove box... DUH!
This video can be used to educate the public on narcissism. Zero accountability dead give away.
You’re right😂
yeah cuz the point of the video is to sit there and admit fault 40 times over.... he literally said he did the crimes and he went to prison, explained how it wasn't victimless and how its hurts people... how much more accountable can he be?
@@zwicker5585 The point of the video is not blaming your single mother, video games, the marines etc But he still does it
@@zwicker5585 he or his group might have chopped my 60's charger and it's still a mess-2024 ( and so far full coverage hasn't made me hole ) 😡and 18yo ( have a pre-1990 k1500/gramps-ish truck that got hit as well was working on restoration but now it's worse/basket-case 🤦🏻♂ 😡 teens/1st-vin i got ) and up it's my only car/ride to working/$$ and it still needed TLC aka wasn't pebble-purect but ran and for a newly married ( she was gone by the time covid/they hit it so both cleaned me out one a time 😔😢 as well as my tools and toolbox etc, and yes that was/is my side-gig/back-up career/pro-auto repair/restoration and modifying ) couple a good starting point

Stole Escalades but didn't mess with vehicles equipped w/ on star. Got it! 😂
not every Escalade had it
It's true, car theft increases everyone's insurance. So even though the victim might get an insurance payout, thieves are stealing from *everyone* at the same time.
Absolutely right. It's what people don't realize when they try to downplay crime in general. Simply being in an area where crimes occur affects everything around you in worst way.
Not to mention, now the cars get more expensive as they have to implement new antitheft hardware/software. These types of people won't be happy until the basic car costs 1 billion and the rest of us are sitting in mud with nothing, all equally miserable.
Okay but where’s justice? This guy stole over 200 vehicles, he has two eardrop tattoos insinuating he killed somebody, he says he carries shotguns and full autos with him during his jobs. Why is this man free?
cuz hes a veteran, that saved him from a lot, he says that in the video
1. He is white 2. He used the VET card.
What justice do you want? Just because he says he stole all those cars doesn’t mean he just gets tossed in prison. The State would still need evidence so as to charge and convict him, which definitely isn’t going to happen when the cars are long gone. The fact he did serve some time, and went to drug treatment, and went on to help the police seems like a good outcome to me. The goal with any career criminal is to rehabilitate them so they can be normal law abiding members of the community, which he is now. Why would you want to toss him back in prison where he would beat yet another burden on societal? Prisons are extremely expensive to operate. The old adage is it’s cheaper to pay for someone to attend an Ivy League school, including an apartment and all necessary food and supplies, than it is to incarcerate them. Justice was served here. By the way, the tear drop can mean MANY things. The whole “proof of kill” is a west coast gang thing. Elsewhere it means prison sentences, or a loved one’s sentence, etc etc. In short, it sounds like you don’t know much of anything and should spend some time learning maybe
@@cruisinguy6024 not everyone deserves a second chance
Because he's a criminal, that's why he gets support from big gov. If an honest citizen would have a full auto in his car, they 1. wouldn't let him drive away and 2. would put him in jail for years even without any other crime committed.
Please stop using that awful, repetitive projector slide sound. These videos are great, but hearing that sound over and over in headphones is terrible
Yes it’s the worst dude.
I agree!!!! It sucks… especially in the car cruising at night!!!😡😡😡😡😡
Definitely really annoying
This! It’s annoying AF.
Yes, we get it, the old school film projector sound, how novel. At this point, I'd almost rather have the horrid Asian A.I. Temu woman voice over in place of it.
All of the other experts are clearly extremely knowledgeable and experienced in their craft. This dude sounds like he has no idea what he’s on about.
Guy is so fried in his brain from all the substance abuse he doesn't know where he is :)
I was a driver for a repo agent back in the 80s. We stole a lot of vehicles perfectly legally, jimmying doors and pulling out ignition locks. We were fast, under two minutes was the norm. He didn't sound convincing to me. He is right about kill switches, though.
Right! He must have called in to be on the show, as opposed to them reaching out trying to get him on the show 😂
@@jonosay854 must've had some dirt on the producer lol
@@mbryson2899 how many cars have you stolen?
I have never heard anyone that has been in the Marines refer to themselves as "former Marine".
He probably feels shame because of what he's done and his past tarnishes the title of being a marine. Shows growth and at least he turned his life around.
He is dishonorable, so calling himself a marine would be wrong.
Yea you can tell he’s not a marine because we don’t lie chest or steal
That caught my ear, too, but he did have the dress uniform. My grandfather was a Marine until the day he died. He and his Corps brothers never referred to anyone as a former or ex Marine. If someone messed up so badly that they were shunned they didn't refer to them as any kind of Marine.
@@MrHuff05the average marine who has been deployed has done worse than him
Judges who sentence such light punishments are a joke and should be held accountable.
I dont agree with most of what this guy says 🤷♂️
Meaning what? That he's lying, or the fact of how's he's describing how badly he affected so many people's lives?
@@RIO-.. everything. he s describing gta and fast n furious. a phantasy world.
My Kia forte was stolen last summer…I had a gps on it but the LAPD didn’t care to answer their phones and once it finally was found it had basically no engine left including catalytic and manifold, no tires or bumpers, and was completely trashed and considered totaled. So frustrating and violating!! It’s ridiculous that there’s videos online “how to steal kias” and even worse how crappy the standards are for Kia/Hyundai theft/security systems!
This guy is a goof. I knew a professional thief that occasionally stole high-end cars, but made all of his money stealing construction equipment. He made more from one score than this guy made in his whole career. He never carried a gun, never had a confrontation with police.
.......and that's a better person??? lol
@@charlesjay8818a better thief, apparently
I realize your friend probably used a trailer…but the image of a dude rolling down the street on a tractor at 8mph getting away with the theft is wildly amusing.
@@hueco5002 I wouldn’t go as far as calling him a friend, but yes, he had a crew and they would trailer the equipment to a compound in rural Wisconsin. They altered serial numbers and repainted it. He would sell it to construction companies that had ties to organized crime. They would use it for a time and then resell it. A slick operation.
you are correct. Todays vehicles cant just taken away and carried to some shady garage where jimmy and pedro put some new colour on and you have a lambo. At least the vehicles that are worth more than 500 $. Every vehicle is wired, is even remotely watched. We know where it is, and much more: how fast it travelled, which RPM, which air pressure, what the temp. is, every single data. You might take countermeassures, but its not worth it. And definitively that guy phantasizing about his imaginary life is not capable of that.
According to this guy, he's a victim of car theft.
It's cool that he got special treatment as a vet but what if we could help anyone who wanted it? The reason it's called the corrections system is because the goal *originally* was to prevent recidivism. We don't do that now. We don't just send people to prison AS punishment, but also FOR punishment.
well read the comments. pretty nasty . america is all about punishment not spending money on treatment
@@ronblack7870 Bingo. Why would private prisons profiting off prisoners want to help them or treat them as humans? Recidivism is like repeat business from loyal customers. Our prison system (and justice system, healthcare system, etc) is screwed up.
@@Aviator27J think maybe you would be better off moving to Venezuela or China or Russia then!?
@@UDel I could, even though they're havens for American conservatives who would love the types of government they run, but I'm currently serving in the military so I think you have my priorities mixed up. Just because I feel people deserve equal treatment under the law (per the Constitution) it doesn't mean I'm bashing the military, veterans, or Underwood himself. Stay calm.
@@Aviator27Jyou're bashing the military probably because you're a Biden supporter
Why get shot three times made him quit being a musician?
Idk happened to me. Just made me change up and dgaf.
He was probably a gangster rapper.
The shooter shouted: "Quit singing, you're crap!".
He couldn't reach the high notes and, hence, his dream of becoming an operatic singer. It's that easy for life to fall apart and into crime...
Don't blame a fun video game for your poor life choices.
Obviously there were multiple factors - the main ones being him getting into drugs, and him living in a bad neighborhood (having opportunity given to him due to meeting bad people). That doesn’t mean that GTA couldn’t have played a small part too though. If video games and movies etc didn’t make much of an impact on people, our govt wouldn’t bother to pour so much money into them, nor would they play such a huge role in writing/shaping the substance of the media/what propaganda gets put in them. But we know they very much DO “bother” with doing that. Ever heard of Edward Bernays??

@@brewtalityk thanks I have an IQ of 140 it hurts being this intelligent sometimes 😁
One thing I hate about wireless key fobs is that if a thief steals them they know exactly which car they belong to whereas a regular key has to be physically tested on every car in the parking lot.
Big ol beacon
You have to get a car from the 80s if you don't want a keyfob...
@@RedFail1-1that isn’t true. I have an 03 that doesn’t have a fob lol
Disable the honk and signals on key press. Some new models allow this via settings. You can also (physically) brick the fob's panic button.
@@eyesofstatic9641when he said 80’s he meant like 20 years old… not literally the 80’s 😂. Most of us weren’t born yet
This guy sounds like he is always looking for that sense of belonging, the way he talks about being a veteran, rapper, and organizing leader he does it for a sense of belonging to something... On the fly he blames it on GTA
He straight up blamed GTA and "Gone in 60 Seconds" lololol. Y'all should be embarrassed that you let this man waste 30 minutes of our time.
I don't understand how youtube has all these interviews with successful criminals who got caught and went on to live much better lives than most people can even hope for with essentially no connective tissue between these two stories.
I played gta my whole childhood and never became a degenerate criminal. accountability, principles and integrity and common decency are what keeps people from going down that road.
so anything is responsible for his crimes but him
YOU CAN TELL WHO THE SNITCH WAS OUT OF HIS CREW
He should have played Super Mario. So he would have become a plumber! But he would have gone mad on the mushrooms probably.
please never stop producing this series, its of the best content on youtube
You know you hit rock bottom when you have to blame grand theft auto for your actions. I grew up playing Grandtheft auto auto look at me. I never stole the car in my life. In fact, I’ve never committed any crimes. I just find grand theft auto to be fun
i had a friend who about 5 years. always saw him in a new car. he told me he was an auto mechanic and was just test riding vehicles. when i was moving, he was like.. hey im not really an auto mechanic, ive been boosting cars for my entire life. lol.
"Judge, it's GTA made me want to steal cars."
Oh you were a VET once before going to be a career criminal and you are white? You can go free. Just don't steal your 201th car.
Welp... Time to re-watch Gone in 60 Seconds now.
Thank You for sharing his wisdom. It is always nice to see a man turn around 180 degrees. He offers a great lesson in humility.
This guy has has quite a story, yet so many people just throwing this guy under. Yeah he says some dumb and conflicting stuff but that's also the nature of the life for some people. He served the military as a boy from the street.. that's gotta be one of the hardest transitions to make in the US. At least he recognises his past and has steps towards the better path
Yes I agree. He would have been better off staying in the marines but at least he turned his life around.
Being a product of society is not always a choice when it involves various types of trauma. Do I wish I can change what I did and do I feel remorse for those victims yes but on the other hand utilizing what I went through to help others change is what I hope to do. I don't hide who I was or what I did but there are also things that can have repercussions if spoke about which is why answers are short and simple. I thank you for accepting that people make mistake and that people can change.
I dont know if its intentional but his answers are very vague to the point of not being believable.. smashing the ignition.. but what about the steering lock and key immobilizer system? Vin printers of making one from two but you still need a clean vehicle to tie the vins too.. I am not sure id consider GTA a very realistic game either... look I can carry 2400 pds of weapons and ammo while getting shot 15 times and still run... then hide in a bush and not get caught
I think he's vague because he's not trying to put any information out there on how to accomplish these things. Use your head.
This guy is full of 💩😂
@@umpin3 i was thinking the exact same thing
He just picked older cars that don’t have those systems. He’s a low level car thief
@@IAmTheDawn lmao the whole point of this channel and video is to go into the details like every other video on here
Ok so thats confusing, one minute he says he's stolen escalades. The next he says he avoided cars that were chipped or had things like OnStar which yeah that's something that an escalade has! 😂 🤦♂️
Older Escalades didn't if I'm not mistaken
6 car chases a day? Dude must have the FBI on him weekly.
lols
This Dude sounds like he's in front of a parole board.
LMAO for real
Very interesting interview. I’m really enjoying this channel. Note of advice to the creator; one of the fundamental principles of recording interviews is the 180 degree rule. Keep both cameras on the same side of the subject’s face and cuts between cameras will be more smooth. It’s very distracting to have him looking different directions in each angle.
When's that how prostitution works episode gonna drop?
right lol...the details in that will be wild..."first u take him to the alley then have the condom ready...u need to be able to spread ur legs like some lamborghini doors""
"i don't believe car theft is a victimless crime..." Uhhh...no one said it wasn't? This man is completely out there. Unpopular opinion... criminals don't change.
more popular opinion than you think. Harsher sentences for crimes should be a thing.
@@KindaGhostyy they are?
The Kias being stolen don't have an immobilizer, and some of these stolen Kias are being crashed into buildings. A local dispensary was a victim and had some things stolen through the destroyed front door.
this guy is all bullshit. he says he stole a million dollars worth of cars. Then he says he stole over 300 cars. 300 cars at about 20k each is 6 million. Also says he got into multiple car chases in one day. Nah!
I thought about that too, the moment he said that. What I really wanted to know is how they got away with the cars when they used them instead of parting them out at the chop shop. With cops having automatic electronic license plate readers, it’s so easy for them to catch a vehicle driving by them that is stolen! I really wanted to know what the thieves would do with those license plates and VINS to make the cars not hot anymore, because they were taking them to the damn border to transport drugs after all!
the fact he refers to himself as 'former Marine' which Marines NEVER do was a very telling way to show he knows he hasn't used his training for valor of honor. gotta respect that.
This guy has never heard of accountability
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure it will help others. Good luck to you.
I get the vibe that this guy likes to put 20 on 5. Adds extra when telling stories to make himself feel good. 😂😂😂
It's interesting to hear someone from my hometown. His demeanor, his language and his accent remind me of people who I grew up with. The courts gave him ISP probation because, they have no evidence that he injured or killed someone, they want him paying restitution, and they don't want to pay to incarcerate him. Mostly they want him to pay restitution. He's right, the Colorado courts give special privileges to active members of the military and veterans. I saw it. I hope he gets and maintains a life of contentment.
"Hey kids, you can't play video games because I decided to be a jackass in real life"
The majority of the cars stated had NFC chips over 25 years ago. Calling bullshit.
I always keep my key fobs in a protected case when I'm done driving so no signals can be passed, is this a good idea? I'm glad you turned your life around.
it'd be a good idea to turn off the "give away car in middle of night" feature that all modern cars inexplicitly have.
@@tubewatcher97 thank you! I have no idea how to do this!
Don’t point to movies and video games to help explain your bad decisions and disregard for the law.
Also blames his upbringing the neighborhood etc. Typical whigger.
$1 million. That’s a lot of civics lol
Wow you guys failed with this guy almost as much as that video of a Veteran rating movie scenes with that overweight guy who had no idea what to say.
This guy has no remorse. He says it was fun and just makes excuses for every wrongdoing. He doesn't care about what he did wrong, he cares that he got caught.
Yeah I think this one is way worse. All-time low.
can a veteran not be fat? lol
This guy is like a navy cook that claims to be a seal... know what i mean?
Bro just confessed to everything
TIP: DO YOURSELF A SOLID , AND DO NOT KEEP YOUR REGISTRATION IN YOUR VEHICLE . IT HAS YOUR ADDRESS ON IT . VALET'S AND MOST DEFINITELY VEHICLE THIEVES , WILL USE THAT TO BURGLARIZE YOUR HOME OF ALL YOUR VALUABLES . TAKE A PIC AND USE THAT TO SHOW LAW ENFORCEMENT , IF YOU YOURSELF GET PULLED OVER . THEY CAN ALSO ACCESS THE DMV SITE .
Who gave this guy a microphone??
HOME: The vehicle's navigation system has the HOME address written in plain sight or a simple voice command. .. Hondo Underwood, thanx for doing this. .. Question; how prevalent is car theft by "in plain sight" by towing away? .. Cheers, Good luck & hug those kids every day..... Vail, Colorado
What's the sound at the beginning? VHS tape loading and playing? I know i know it, but I can't put my finger on it!!
My understanding is that the "relay theft" method only works if the key FOB is being carried around in your pocket, such as when you are getting ready to leave or just getting home. When the key FOB is stationary it disables itself to protect against relay attacks.
pff 20:30 I learned all of this with my first 2 cars LuL last year I bought a 2023 brand new car and this time I didnt tint the windows, didnt drop it, no rims, no sound system... completely stock. Every time I leave my car, my registration, my insurance, my dashcam, my credentials and folder come with me in my backpack... You look inside my car and it looks brand new but nothin of value inside. Thats how I like it.
This guy's just upset that he got caught.
All credibility lost when he said a Kia is "sporty and fast".
Never mix Drugs and Crime
Having had a vehicle stolen in n Denver I found this fascinating!
Did he have to throw GTA games under the bus like that though
just because i played Hitman as a kid i don't dress up in a suit and tattooed a barcode at the back of my head and are out killing people😂 don't blame video games for your mistakes, blame your shitty childhood and bad friends😅
word .
I'm glad he corrected himself and recognized that he is a "former Marine". There are those that understand what I mean.
This is another one of those reasons why I park INSIDE my garage. Obviously wont keep my car save all the time but it makes it slightly harder to steal so...maybe it prevents it
its so weird that criminals would take advantage of regulations that prevent law enforcement from enforcing the law.
Bro sounds totally fried
Toronto car thefts are on a very high rise !
He’s 100% right about the kill switches i have one in my truck as soon as it doesn’t start they run out of there
Please can you steal my rust bucket car?
You're not gonna get enough from insurance to replace it. You're just gonna have no vehicle at all.
I played GTA III-V growing up and never thought about pursuing anything illegal in those games in real life. It was ENTERTAINMENT 😂. As a veteran, I'm glad he was able to get the necessary help and turn his life around.
I was surprised by the relative lack of Triangle Button
The only thing I know about Denver is "Denver the last dinosaur. he's my friend and a whole lot more" 🤣😂🤣
So, message being sent is: Before entering full time into the crime business, join the military for a short stint. That's enough for you to get a free ride for life and evade any repercussions for your actions. Sweet deal.
GTA doesn't show you how to execute any of these crimes even if it may get some people curious. It's like saying Breaking Bad should have never been produced because now every kid will make meth.
If someone had a gun pointed at your face, do you think your car can accelerate faster than the bullet that just came out of that gun because you tried to drive away? 😂 MOST criminals don't wanna shoot someone for a car, but we can't say the same to those people that have been shot for their car. Or just recently the dude that got hit by the actual vehicle sadly
Amazing tutorial, thank you
that is amazing, allegedly if you wait outside liquor stores in the wintertime and the people would leave their cars running because of the cold was the easiest way I was told to test drive cars.
Why is this man not in jail for life? He stole vehicles with automatic weapons for defense.
GTA is a great game. I could never blame it for anything but entertainment, wouldn’t try any of the crazy stuff in the game in real life….
Dwight Schrute vibes
This story makes me sad. And to here he was a marine, even sadder. Knowing he will always get the typical “Thank you for your service. And priority treatment “
Video games made me the plumber I am today. Happily married to a princess in a castle.
Shout for manning up without support. That takea truly a Herculean effort... very few are capable 👏🏻💪🏻
Former Marine SoB theif "thank you for your service" *censored noises*
is this a video of how Grand Theft works or how a thief fails to take accountability for his actions?
The lack of responsibility and self awareness of this guy...
Genius thief spends less than a year in the game, identified and chased by cops the whole time, before getting put away.
That's awesome that you actually got replies from companies you contacted. It's nice to see Kia is trying to do something, but it does raise the question. Are push-button starts harder to steal?
This is why I want a Tesla so bad. Secure frunk and pin lock to prevent driving, no catalytic converter to steal, and extremely trackable.
Thank you for this informative how-to
