Yeah, and taking it to use as a toolbox is seems legit too, he answered straight away, it’s not like he had to think of a reason for why he took it, he just saw a box and figured it was trash and it might make a decent toolbox. I think he’s legit.

yup I think there's also some kind of law (idk exactly which and probably not in all states) if you leave stuff close to the road it's considered trash by default (could be a brand new tv doesn't matter, and if someone takes it cops can't do anything about it)

I believe it varies from state to state but the general rule is, if it's by the curb it's trash. Now granted I have seen brand new looking mowers and the likes by a curb and you know from just looking at them they're not trash.

I grew up in and live in small town Indiana, about 15 minutes from Michigan and that is still how we do it here. If you are done with stuff and think it has use and dont want to trash it, you usually put it out by the road, assuming its not absolute garbage.....furniture, appliances, bikes, you name it....usually people will put a sign saying "free" so that people dont think that they are stealing, but I bet I could go down the road today and find one place with something sitting outside waiting to be picked up like that.

LMAO that poor guy. I'm glad you let him keep it, I'm sure he'll get really good use out of it. I've met many people in construction that remind me of this guy and given that you DID have it at the end of your drive it really is possible that he thought it was something that you sat out for the trash. We'll never know for sure, but I'd like to think that this guy genuinely didn't think he was stealing. Clearly English isn't his first language and the fact that he was so candid and DID return it does speak volumes. I'm not sure what you recorded that you didn't put in the video, but most thieves aren't going to be so calm and cool AND return your stuff on their own volition on terms that you set, regardless if you have a tank and/or homeland security. (though I'm sure this gentleman didn't know about or expect either) Great content as always though, I was hoping it was going to be more in line with the damn near senior citizen that lied dead to your face saying he had 1 beer and some kind of pill and said he felt like a wild ass kid again. Those kinds of people I crave to see justice brought upon for their misdeeds because they know what they're doing is wrong and only hope to save face (or jail time) when you confront them.

I think that if you have a crate out for package deliveries and stuff like that, you should make an effort to secure it down, spray paint MAIL on it, do ANYTHING to make it seem like it's not just trash that you're putting out. Good on you for being understanding and empathizing and saying out loud that this is a common thing for someone to assume it's just garbage that could be repurposed for someone else. But yeah, drive down two piles through the crate or however the hell someone smart would secure it and use a bit more effort to make it seem like it's not garbage. Totally understandable - especially on back country roads - to go "oh yeah, that's beside the mail box, that must be for larger packages to not get damaged by weather, dirt, etc." BUT also equally understandable for someone to drive by and be like, "oh shit, that's a cool crate, is he throwing that out?" and taking it like A LOT of folks from all states, countries and walks of life feel that the curb is the community donation bin. Shout out Trailer Park Boys.

This one felt a bit off. Leaving something by the roadside is a pretty universal sign that it's unwanted and up for grabs. Then when it's predictably taken, you low-key doxx him by showing his car and his general area of living and have a literal tank pointed at him when he returns it. Seeing you wreck G-Wagons and whatnot is fine, you're punching up. But this is an individual guy you were pretty intimidating towards for what likely wasn't ill intent on his part. Tougher to enjoy this one

He wasn't "low-key" doing anything 🙄 The only images he showed were vague, unspecific, and with no identifying information. He showed just enough so people can see that it looks like he's legitimately locating the person who actually took it. And yes in the suburbs or city it can be common for people to leave things for free on the roadside, but it's different out in the country. The guy had no business taking it. He also clearly said that he knew about Whistlin Diesels KZhead Fame, and that he had watched the videos. (Even though he claimed he "thought it was a scam" for some reason ...which makes no sense whatsoever... but whatever.🤷) So he shouldn't have been surprised by the sight of the tank. Plus the tank was basically just parked there... it was a prop, nothing else. There was no threat whatsoever made with that tank. ...at least not shown in that video anyway. You have every right to your opinion of course... As do I. Mine just happens to be that yours is baseless in this case.😜

Around here, when you have things that are too big for the trash, are still good and not "trash worthy" but you dont want them, or whatever, you set it out by the road (sometimes with a sign saying free, sometimes, like if its a table or couch, its obvious) and wait for someone to grab it. It actually turns into a competition sometimes because if something is set out by the road and your car is full, you have to race home to unload it and make room and then make it back or someone else might have beaten you! My friend was all worked up over an oval coffee table that was on the side of the road....was looking for something JUST LIKE THAT for an art project. It turned out great. Although none of this stuff was placed quite so neatly next to a mail box.

I understand US laws to be generally similar to CA with respect to this: something left out on the curb like trash is legally "abandoned" and you lose rights to it -- including expectations of privacy. This is why anyone including PI's and cops can search garbage without a warrant, and why anyone can just take it. This is a very different situation from the other guy who went onto your property and into your containers (and even knew exactly who you were). In another universe Cody gets charged with harassment and/or mischief (or whatever the equivalents down there) for finding this dude and tracking what is now legally *his* property and violating f*his* privacy... IMHO if you want to leave crap on the curb fix it down or put a sign or move it back... Nobody stole from you if its reasonably expected that it could be trash left on the side of the road at your property line, and if it was empty it would only give confidence that it was indeed trash.

We'll never know for sure, but I'd like to think that this guy genuinely didn't think he was stealing. Clearly English isn't his first language and the fact that he was so candid and DID return it does speak volumes. I'm not sure what you recorded that you didn't put in the video, but most thieves aren't going to be so calm and cool AND return your stuff on their own volition on terms that you set, regardless if you have a tank and/or homeland security. (though I'm sure this gentleman didn't know about or expect either) Great content as always though, I was hoping it was going to be more in line with the damn near senior citizen that lied dead to your face saying he had 1 beer and some kind of pill and said he felt like a wild ass kid again. Those kinds of people I crave to see justice brought upon for their misdeeds because they know what they're doing is wrong and only hope to save face (or jail time) when you confront them.

Same in my area, even areas that don't have curbside trash pickup. If it's by the side of the road, it's generally understood to be discarded.
I think that if you have a crate out for package deliveries and stuff like that, you should make an effort to secure it down, spray paint MAIL on it, do ANYTHING to make it seem like it's not just trash that you're putting out. Good on you for being understanding and empathizing and saying out loud that this is a common thing for someone to assume it's just garbage that could be repurposed for someone else. But yeah, drive down two piles through the crate or however the hell someone smart would secure it and use a bit more effort to make it seem like it's not garbage. Totally understandable - especially on back country roads - to go "oh yeah, that's beside the mail box, that must be for larger packages to not get damaged by weather, dirt, etc." BUT also equally understandable for someone to drive by and be like, "oh shit, that's a cool crate, is he throwing that out?" and taking it like A LOT of folks from all states, countries and walks of life feel that the curb is the community donation bin. Shout out Trailer Park Boys.
since there is no TRASH signs - there is NO NEED for mail sprays

Anybody with common sense would think it's trash. Moreso if that's where the garbage bins go for trash pickup. Kind of common knowledge that stuff left out by the street and of your driveway is likely to be trash.
The tank was pretty sweet though lol
I really believe that he thought it was trash because if I see something at the curb set out like trash that somebody's throwing away and I can use it or need it then I'll pick it up off the curb so I genuinely think he wasn't stealing it he just thought you were throwing it away in like they say one man's trash is another mans treasure
I cant believe the things that you come up with for content Cody. This was crazy. I am not saying that its not real, but dang, this was good. And the mercy at the end. I have to remind myself that all the time. I need it just as much, so I should be even more willing to give it to others, its just SO HARD TO DO sometimes. Good job on being a good example of that, we all need a reminder sometimes! And the lesson that he learned was good too!
It's pretty incredible you were putting out content at a high quality this last year with no mention of your eyes. GOATED content creator.
People often put trash at the end of their driveway to give away. That was extremely normal where I grew up. I feel so bad for this dude, he was probably terrified
yeah I was gonna say, where I live people only put stuff at the end of the driveway they want to give away... Although usually we throw a (FREE) sign next to it, but I get Cody's point even though where I live this is acceptable, that's how I get rid of furniture and crates I don't want anymore lol just throw it by the road and some redneck will pick it up for their shop.
Cody is the one guy on this planet who doesn’t understand the rule
@@andrewferguson8032 To be fair, I live in a place that looks very similar and we never leave things at the end of our driveway. And if we did, it wouldn't be expected to be stolen.. Just kind of a respect thing for us, but It is a really small town
@@JustinAdamsMusic409 I guess it depends on the area, like you said
To be fair, here in Australia people specifically put trash that they don't want anymore out on the curb in front of their houses so anybody can come by and take it, so I wouldn't be surprised if his story about him 'thinking it was trash' was actually genuine. I mean if it was something you genuinely cared about, why would you have it laying unattended there like that? So I think it makes sense that somebody would think it is trash.
Exactly what I was thinking.
100% people in Australia just leave stuff out to be re gifted / used. If it stays there until next bin cycle it's normally disposed of then 😅
But Cody is not in australia! It all depends on how the culture of a country is! Sometimes people do the same in my country, but then they would put up a “for free” sign on it with cardboard or something
@@Mark-vn7etpipe down the same thing occurs in america what are you on about, you leave stuff at the curb that you don’t think is garbage but can be used by someone else stop crying
@@Mark-vn7et im certain thats a thing people do in damn near every country. i wouldnt leave something of importance to me outside of my house unatended unless it was bolted down
I feel bad for saying this but i love it when people are stealing from you Cody because yet another absolute banger video comes out on your channel about catching that person. I love these.
I always leave stuff out for people. Scrap metal, Logs, old appliances, old glass vases, people will literally take everything and anything. Its quite handy
Don't just leave this things, make it reusable by friends or friends of friends, this is much smarter stuff for all of us
@@nikostalk5730 the neighbours who take the stuff are essentially friends of friends of friends
Stuff on the side of the road usually means trash or free to take. It’s completely understandable if that is what he really thought.
Cody never fails to fill us up with experimental content
whistlin diesel steals and reuploads my videos for views and is getting filthy rich off my hard work
Is this a Joe bart reference??
Npc
And never fails to paint himself out to be an awesome guy, even when 90% of people agree that that looked like "free sh!t" at the end of a driveway.
he fills me up to the brim everytime
Literally my home area and everything you said is accurate, especially about the car meet in Gallatin's parking lot that consists of a bunch of rusties with no mufflers
blud just doesnt miss with these straight up movies!!!!
Giving him the crate back was priceless. If the guy told the truth and was going to use the crate as a toolbox for his job. Been there, I know the construction "employee" struggle and pretty sure Cody knows it well too! Bunch of people think construction guys are living the dream... The boss sure! The employees, not so much. That crate probably meant a lot for that guy too and giving it back to the guy to help him. Big thumbs up
@john_b_fab Simp. This was nothing but a set up for a video. a real theft? LOL
Honestly I can understand how someone would think it was trash many people do put stuff on the curb that is usually trash whether it be in a trash can or not especially because there was no sign on it specifically saying that is wasn’t trash but if that was the case why didn’t the dude just say my bad I thought it was trash so idk
thinking it was "trash" is a likely story. i believe, he thought it was a box that the owner intended to have amazon goodies delivered to.
Honestly same I work in construction and need a crate too put all my tools in but don’t got it like that atm
Where I’m from, if something is sitting by the road it’s generally set out there because it’s your please take this it won’t fit in my dumpster pile.
Honestly, I believe him. Stuff by mailboxes on the end of gravel driveways usually means free, but not always. The fact he brought it back and had the courage to chill with you by your effing tank and whatever cop car thing you got there makes me actually believe him. Alot of people leave free stuff at the end of gravel driveways by their mailboxes. Put a sign on the next one or chain it to the post if you don't want it taken. Anyway, that was super cool of you to give it to him. You should invite him back over and let him drive the tank for having the balls to flip a bitch and even stop. I would have thrown it out the car a block away and told you to get it there while driving away at 100mph lol 😂
so if you ordered something online and it didnt fit in your mailbox and they left it beside it that means its free ? americans are weird ye have these little things that nowhere else in the world has.. unless i see a sign beside it saying take it if you want it you should not take anything.
@@deanmalone1568 well most houses have the mailbox around the door and no package company is going to leave it on the side of the road. they would bring it up the street and leave it at your house door. people put furniture at the curb they want to get rid of all the time where I'm from in Canada. Same thing as leaving your garbage bag at the curb for the garbage truck to pick it up.
@deanmalone1568 no usually if it doesn't fit in your mailbox they walk it to your door and either knock or just leave it next to the door
@@deanmalone1568 Well considering the garbage truck will probably grab it anyways yeah, that's what that usually means. Believe it or not, its not just an "Americans are stupid" kind of situation, A lot of people aren't fortunate enough to buy stuff new, so they dumpster dive and look around for free stuff to fix up. its pretty common all over the world with the exception of third world countries, where people can't afford to throw stuff away. Also I don't know how things are done in your country but mail trucks deliver large packages to your door for that exact reason.
@@deanmalone1568usually if it doesn't fit in your mailbox they bring it to your door
That was legit mercy. Subscribed. Mad respect.
Maybe its different elsewhere, but we leave stuff on the road for pickup, so its pretty much up for grabs. Either someone will come pick it up or the city will but it always gets taken. But talking to the guy like he was stealing it was crazy tho.
better to be reused in a same or different purpose, than being shredded and digged into huge hill of unusable trash pieces!
Cody having somebody steal from him is like a junkie getting their next high lol
I mean if I had the power he does I would had done the same that one time someone stole my wheels with brand new tires at the tires shop. 😐
@@victorarmijo2057 Yikes bro sorry to hear that. I would've tracked them down
Honestly I can understand how someone would think it was trash many people do put stuff on the curb that is usually trash whether it be in a trash can or not especially because there was no sign on it specifically saying that is wasn’t trash but if that was the case why didn’t the dude just say my bad I thought it was trash so idk
we like getting high haha
I believe the guy 100% he thought the box was discarded and unwanted so he took it thinking he can put his tools in it. This wasn't theft and i liked the way Cody handled this, blurred his face, spoke nicely and let him have the box at the end.
Spoke nicely to him? He called him a thief when he wasn't. He was just a garbage picker.
@@JeffKubelfr bro literally showed up to his house spoke to the man’s girlfriend and tracked it all through his social medias. that’s crazy
I think that's the joke. I don't always get this guy's sense of humor.
haha you'll fall for anything if you believe that greasy story
Then whyd that guy lie about having the box at first
Tanks for all the memories
This video feels off to me. I love your other content, and I think you do best with your main style. It is cool seeing you try this kinda format out, though. Thanks for the awesome vids!! and keep up the good work, brother!
As someone that's worked construction I totally get him seeing a nice box by the end of the road that looks like its trash and taking it to use as a tool box. Its always better to ask and make sure its trash and that they don't want it anymore.
ask who? The mailbox?
@@llVIUThe person at the other end of that drive way. If there's no one to ask, DONT TAKE IT.
How Cody went from Farm guy to rolling in a G wagon with a AP on is crazy. Salute you sir .
Though I think I have spotted an AP on his wrist before, this is a Casio g-shock with a case mod.
It's his dad money!
I was surprised that he bought a G-Wagon for daily use, but that shows how ststisfied hi was after all the tests with the G-Wagon...
thats not an AP
an AP?
Im my bar I am used to theft. People have excuses all the time. You were way too kind and obviously a warm hearted person feeling a bit bad for squeezing him. In the end he should have known better. You will encounter this again, you will only get tougher and stricter. He tried to text him out of the situation (changing subject and not immediately admitting) so in my opinion he will do this again. It's named kleptomania. Love your content. Hello from across the pond😊
Yo, is this a second channel with even more horrific content?!? Most excellent
I mean putting stuff near the road generally means it is free. I think his intentions were not to steal and that he genuinely thought it was for free.
Glad you gave it to him. Pretty sure he sincerely thought it was trash. I honestly would have taken it too if I drove by thinking it was trash. However I would have immediately said that when you contacted me.
“I am not parked suspiciously” parks upside down😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the laugh Cody, good episode, like always
Honestly leaving something on the end of your driveway I feel is the universal sign of "free, please take this".
He's so damn threatening and then you can have it. It just goes to show that Cody's not the massive jerk all the haters think he is

its one of those things where you spend all day being upset about it, then the person who wronged you turns out is just a person and seems nice enough, humbly apologized, the sense of the need for justice, or just plain anger just fades away with a similar feeling to when a sneeze goes away
Man i really love crates!!! especially them green ones, those are the best......
This one felt a bit off. Leaving something by the roadside is a pretty universal sign that it's unwanted and up for grabs. Then when it's predictably taken, you low-key doxx him by showing his car and his general area of living and have a literal tank pointed at him when he returns it. Seeing you wreck G-Wagons and whatnot is fine, you're punching up. But this is an individual guy you were pretty intimidating towards for what likely wasn't ill intent on his part. Tougher to enjoy this one
agree
He wasn't "low-key" doing anything 🙄 The only images he showed were vague, unspecific, and with no identifying information. He showed just enough so people can see that it looks like he's legitimately locating the person who actually took it. And yes in the suburbs or city it can be common for people to leave things for free on the roadside, but it's different out in the country. The guy had no business taking it. He also clearly said that he knew about Whistlin Diesels KZhead Fame, and that he had watched the videos. (Even though he claimed he "thought it was a scam" for some reason ...which makes no sense whatsoever... but whatever.🤷) So he shouldn't have been surprised by the sight of the tank. Plus the tank was basically just parked there... it was a prop, nothing else. There was no threat whatsoever made with that tank. ...at least not shown in that video anyway. You have every right to your opinion of course... As do I. Mine just happens to be that yours is baseless in this case.😜
Ditto
All the info he used was publicly available, if the guy didn't want anyone seeing where he lives maybe he shouldn't post it on social media for the world to find lol
@@itssfive8096 and probably this video is published with the consent of the dude
As a Mexican, I can understand where he came from. It’s normal for people to leave shit out they don’t want. And for us anything that is or looks like army style stuff we just absolutely love. And we also do love our toolboxes😭😭😭
Maybe knock on the door and ask?
@@design2survivewho tf leaves something important on their curb a quarter mile down from their front door
I would’ve taken it too if I thought It was trash cool looking tool box

Cody was an idiot on this one
I personally think he thought it was trash ❤ on that note, still hilarious you had a tank 😂
your editing is the funiest , love it , who else brings a tank 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it was by the road. Most will assume it’s free.
Stop making sense, it ruins the false premise of the video.
When i leave stuff at the end of my driveway it goes away. Thats how that works.
True but this was placed on the other side of the mailbox. If you wanted to give it away it would normally be placed all the way at the road or at least closer to the road. This is just up on his driveway.
@@username8644 nope. That box was fair game.
@@channing8129 Go to 0:22 and re-watch. It's pretty far up
Thank you!
@@channing8129 How was it fair game? Just because you don't know why it was there does not mean it was "fair game", and obviously it wasn't fair game? Does he need to put notes on everything telling ppl to leave it alone? Anything being given away "free" should be signed as such. It's an entitled attitude that people have that makes them think anything not nailed down can just be taken because they believe "it's free" even if there isn't anything written on it that says it's free.
I 100% wouldve though it was free too. Glad you kept his identity private and it was nice of you to let him keep it.
Exactly why surveillance is super important 😂❤
It was at the end of your driveway. I would of thought it was free as well. I think he was genuine. Thanks for giving him the benefit of the doubt. Merry Christmas my friend
Its so awesome to see Cody helping out small creators like this one, so nice that he is helping out in the industry 🔥💯🇺🇸
Helping out what creators??😂😂 he's the only creator here
Glad you blurred his face cause he def thought it was just trash. Glad you gave it to him and was very understanding
Around here, when you have things that are too big for the trash, are still good and not "trash worthy" but you dont want them, or whatever, you set it out by the road (sometimes with a sign saying free, sometimes, like if its a table or couch, its obvious) and wait for someone to grab it. It actually turns into a competition sometimes because if something is set out by the road and your car is full, you have to race home to unload it and make room and then make it back or someone else might have beaten you! My friend was all worked up over an oval coffee table that was on the side of the road....was looking for something JUST LIKE THAT for an art project. It turned out great. Although none of this stuff was placed quite so neatly next to a mail box.
"maybe the tank was overkill" quote of the decade
Imagine returning someone’s property you stole and they are outside waiting with a tank 😂😂😂 this guy never fails to disappoint
Those hardig cases are NOT cheap, I was looking at getting one and quickly changed my mind lol. Even the used ones were running between $200-500 I can understand Cody wanting his stuff back. But I gotta give him props for being compassionate.
That's what we do out here in Missouri too. If someone doesn't need the item anymore, they'll put it along the road hoping someone picks it up before the trash truck comes and destroys it. Like free hand me downs I guess. I believe this guy is legit.
I understand his mistake. Where I live it’s common practice to put stuff you don’t want on the curb for people to take. You’re awesome for letting him keep it!!
Same here. People in my neighborhood leave stuff out by the street when they're giving it away. One evening, I left my old bicycle out by the curb and it was gone by the next morning. I can see why that guy thought someone was junking it.
Its a possibility he thought it was being thown away and didn't realize what you're talking about at first when you texted him
yeah also thinking that, its sitting at the end of a driveway and could've been there for a while
Bro made this a movie 😂😂 love it
That dude definitely just thought u were throwing it away. When people give stuff away for free they ALWAYS put it on the end of their driveway. His body language and tone of voice are all congruent with his story of actually mistaking it for trash.
As a general rule stuff on the side of the road is trash, but the fact he denied it at first is suspicious. He seemed really cool and the fact he did come to meet you and give it back speaks volumes of the guy. Either way, nice of you to give it to him.
he just denied it cuz getting stalked like dat is sketchy af and he didn't know how to react initially. Bro he literally got stalked lol
just doing what illegals do best
also it was a really cool box so maybe he did wanna keep it lmao
If that happened to me I'd immediately think it was a scam. Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to extort someone for money by claiming something they gave away was stolen.
@@thegoon3088 seriously this fanbase is blood thirsty. hes an older guy too not really familiar with the internet and he did in fact LITERALLY get stalked lmao not to mention an empty crate was put out on the end of the driveway/mailbox which usually means trash.
Stealing from Cody is the same as signing your own death warrant.
This guy has such a small channel but still a great heart (unless the cameras are not rolling)
In the UK we leave unwanted shit outside our property lines for anyone to have... Unlike the last guy who actually stole from you that got away without punishment and probably did it again I think this guy has a legitimate reason for thinking it might have been free.
Respect for showing that guy mercy. I think that was the right call because he was apologetic and brought it back. Stealing is wrong but he might really have thought it was just trash because it was sitting at the end of the diveway.
Much respect on how you handled it Cody. I’m the same way. No body steals from me but at the same time he very well could have thought it was trash. That’s how we give stuff away where im from. We set it next to the road hoping someone takes it so we don’t have to deal with it anymore lol. As always great content guys.
I disagree, something doesn't sit right with me about a guy with millions of dollars getting this upset about a box being "stolen" from him when he very obviously left it conveniently exactly where people usually leave free stuff lol its like he has a revenge boner
Where i live it's a tradition to put unwanted stuff on the curb for anyone to take. When the college kids graduate or go home for the summer. They put their old furniture on the side of the curb. I would have assumed it was free if it was in my city.
I’m impressed with Cody 😮 better Man than I expected
You gotta admit that it looked like you were throwing it away. Its not like he went through your fence to get it.
That's what he was trying to do... all to make a video. Pretty cringe if you ask me
Gotta make content
@@tylerwestendorf9798 he claimed to not know anything about the box and to not have it in the beginning, which screams the word "liar" to me and at the end saying that he thought it was free. usually honest people keep their stories straight, could be that i'm wrong but really seems like hes lying
@@BigToro to be fair if some random guy with a million followers started making thinly veiled threats to you I would probably say anything to get the guy to stop bothering me.
@@historynerd2373 yeah i agree, though the best thing would be to be honest from the very beginning, which would most likely resolve the conflict quickly
In my neighborhood, if something is at the end of your driveway, or in front of your house but near the road, it's free.
Thieves always say they thought no one wanted it. I've heard that one so many times when thieves steal food and personal items from other AirBnb guests and from guests at holiday parks. "I thought no one wanted those deck chairs outside your tent." "I thought no one wanted that fresh piece of salmon and the $50 worth of groceries."
😂🤣😂 Cody it's was The Tank Why He Drove By😂🤣😂 Any Normal Person Prolly Would Have Done The Same 😂🤣😂💚👍🏼👍🏼
Y'all's detective skills are on point. Same as the PO PO.
The guys logic that he thought it was free is valid and makes perfect sense
love your casio watches god tier !!! keep it up cheers nicholas greece
Homie went back home and the story he tells everyone is unbelievable 😂 so yah I was met with a tank 😅
One thing that I really noticed about Cody and I like about him is he is really nice to the general public when that guy took the bots and the other video where they took his bows and rifles he really didn’t mind it when he met up with him. I don’t know if he was just scared or something but he is a really good person when it comes to the general public.😅
I understand US laws to be generally similar to CA with respect to this: something left out on the curb like trash is legally "abandoned" and you lose rights to it -- including expectations of privacy. This is why anyone including PI's and cops can search garbage without a warrant, and why anyone can just take it. This is a very different situation from the other guy who went onto your property and into your containers (and even knew exactly who you were). In another universe Cody gets charged with harassment and/or mischief (or whatever the equivalents down there) for finding this dude and tracking what is now legally *his* property and violating f*his* privacy... IMHO if you want to leave crap on the curb fix it down or put a sign or move it back... Nobody stole from you if its reasonably expected that it could be trash left on the side of the road at your property line, and if it was empty it would only give confidence that it was indeed trash.
It was behind his letter box though. So not on the verge, it was still on his property.
i feel like he intentionally did it to just so he can recreate the viral vid
would it not depend on where cody's property lines are though? because trash on the curb is off your property but this crate looked to be inside his property lines. Just wondering, i could be wrong tho
100%
If it is on Cody's property it is neither abandoned nor free for the taking. You are a ID10T
10/10 on the tank surprise attempt. That's probably a public nuisance in my State. Junk is required to be 300ft from the street to not attract crime, or a 6ft privacy-fence of any type is required. You could argue that it's yard-art but even if you secured it by the roadside it'd be another safety hazard. Mailboxes are suppose to be crushable so that teens don't get too injured when making mistakes, so we allow Judges $250k worth of authority to get your mailbox fixed by the person who damaged it.
I would have thought it was trash too. I’m glad the guy brought it back.
Bro, this was handled SO incredibly well. Like every single aspect was handled with respect, humility, genuine open-mindedness. I didn't expect it to end that way at all and totally applaud Whistlin for the way he handled everything. Whistlin deserves all the success he has, from my computer chair dude seems like a pretty fuckin standup dude.
Agreed.
Same
because dressing up with a tank over a box on the curb is handing it with respect, humility, genuine open-mindedness
Doxxing a man for picking up what looks like abandoned property/ trash that was put in a place where people commonly leave garbage or things they're giving away in some misguided attempt to feign thievery for views, is not respect. Its the opposite. The respectful thing to do is publicly apologize to this guy and delete this whole cluster of a video before KZhead gets wind of it.
@@Nefville tbf the dude stole it, although it was just a misunderstanding. If someone stole something of yours you would do the same shit to find out who the person is to try and get it back, it was nice of Whistlin to let the guy keep it because it was a misunderstanding
You handle this stuff better than I would. Congratulations.
whistlin diesel steals and reuploads my videos for views and is getting filthy rich off my hard work
Typically where I live, people throw out items they no longer want next to their mail box or close to the curve, but confuse it as well
I even said it to myself in the beginning that people could have mistaken that to be free. Every time I move, if there's furniture or little electronics items I think someone could want I'll leave it by the mailbox/end of driveway. With the other thefts, it was pretty blatant, this very easily could be an accident lol.
