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
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.
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.
“I didn’t need my stuff back, I just wanted my stuff back. I have enough money”🤣🤣
Actually not innacurate, plenty of stuff we do not need, but we want it.
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
He should have went to jail. I would of pressed charges and the whole shebang. I would have booby trapped the property to severely hurt him. If you claim it happened on my property you were never suppose to be on it to begin with. Private property equals lethal force
@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.
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
This is felony theft and this old thug is getting out of it. His BS falls of deaf ears of every viewer on here. We all know he's only "sorry" he didn't see the other camera and sorry he didn't hide everything better. That said, big respect to the Sheriff's office and those deputies and detectives. They were proactive and wasted no time. That's rare. They set a high bar for other agencies to follow. I'll say this, there's not many, if ANY watching this, that would have let him off like this. He's lucky it was you. Thanks for sharing !
I don’t care if he doesn’t wanna press charges, but I want this guy behind bars because I don’t want him to take my stuff
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Smacked420 got proof?
Those arent excuses those are his reasons, but his reasons dont excuse his actions.
Cody....I really respect how you consistently refer to your experiences with your father, that's what all men want to reflect on as you grow older...priceless memories !!! Your Dad made you into a class act !!
He committed vandalism, trespassing, and burglary
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.
You have taught me a lesson in forgiveness. Wow, first time viewer and your parents raised you right. You have my admiration.
👍
You’re such a great guy for not accepting the money. I feel so bad for the wife and he was so embarrassed. There’s no question why you’re so blessed, you have a good heart. I just came across your videos today and I’m a fan.
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😭😩
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
Honestly, I love how you just made this video like super fun. It’s enjoyable to watch not only because of the situation, but also for your interactions and comments.
You are a great human being sir. I felt for that poor woman too bro. You are a great example to our youth. I loved your crazy antics more and more but this puts you on a whole new level. Keep killin it baby!!!
remember kids, hes not sorry for stealing it, hes sorry he got caught stealing it
And thats the bottom line
And that’s why I think OP is an idiot for not pressing charges. Just leave it for the next person he robs.
Absolutely!
Exactly
@@lagunamusic7686 and without the incredible lengths and diligence that OP went to proving the theft, the cops won't get these kind of results. They will file a report and move on with their day. Remember; when they were first investigating on the property, and the cop came back and asked if they had any pictures of him _actually_ stealing the stuff.... like, after EVERYTHING he showed you, you need more evidence?!?!
A 60 year old man having to apologize to a 25 year old for acting a fool. Damn 😅
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.
first time viewer here....WOW!! I can't believe you didn't prosecute...you are a good man, I just hope others don't come after your stuff now, knowing you won't prosecute. God Bless, great video!
I am glad you got your stuff back. It is so nice to see people like you be kind and give them the money back they owed you for damaging your cameras. I hope you find your dad skidsteer
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
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.
And wearing a mask
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.
YOU ROCK DUDE, I freaking love it. ive had some very sentimental things stolen, some important things stolen, and just some all around jerk off things done to my property so im a bit emotional about it, it is really great to see at least somebody doing what needs done.
You are very kind to be so forgiving toward that man. We all should be utterly intolerant of thieves, however, forgiveness is best.
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?? 😂
@@tishasian4314 xx#.
Cody: no hard feelings Proceeds to post guy stealing on channel with millions of subs
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.
Great job brother. I wish you never gave him the time of day. You are way to kind. I cant stand trespassers and thieves! Great work brother!
Been YouTubing for so long and I swear, this has got to be in my Top 5 of all times. Whistlin’ cheers to you
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
Giving them the money back was the coup de grace. The humiliation and shame he put on his old lady was reprehensible.
PIMP move
Now he's just got to bang his wife for the complete trifecta
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!
Now that’s true humanity! Hats off to you Cody a true man of damn good heart! God bless you!
You really humbled them with the gift of money, and tears are usually a sign of shame and regret that we can all relate to
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.
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.
Du bist ein Herzensguter Mensch 🙂 dass du so reagiert hast obwohl er dir etwas gestohlen hat ist nicht selbstverständlich 🙏👍
Wow, despite having loads of money, this guy still went out to catch someone who stole a crossbow, leaf blower, and other miscellaneous items. Love it!
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).
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 was saying that the whole time! he KNEW exactly what he was doing! Happy you got your stuff back so easily. This is the first video me and my bf have seen of you and we have to say: excellent content!!
Just found this video, never seen your content before. But your stubbornness to find your dad’s skid loader is truly respectable!!! I hope you find it one day.
I don’t believe a word the thief was saying. He continued to justify his theft. The only thing he learned was to be more careful the next time he’s stealing someone’s stuff.
Biggest thing now is his wife knows so we’ll see how that goes
@@shanem4399 if she wasn't completely in the know already..... some thieves are great actors as well... water works and shakey hands means nothing, thats just the adrenaline from getting caught.....
@@TroyC68 you are not wrong unfortunately
Yup, The guy should have said give me 10 k and i won't press charges. He should not let him get away with it.
Exactly. I don't know what I detest more: The guy stealing the stuff or someone who lets a thief off scott free. Thanks for doing a favor to the REST of the community, that CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THINGS stolen. (And can't afford to give a $300k reward to find a $20k skid steer).
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."
You handled that situation perfectly.. I hope You have found/Find the Stolen Skid Loader of Your Father's too!!
I dont like a thief! I know this was 2 years ago but I'm just now watching this. You can tell you have a good heart when you gave that woman the money back. I'm glad you got your stuff. Now I'm going to watch more of your videos😊
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.
@@Dovejep Agree. It's the principle. He needs to feel consequences and justice; not just embarrassment
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
Mad respect bro. I’m tuning back in. You showed greatness , I’m proud.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen. I wanna say that it says tons about your character when you gave them the money back. Good job dude.
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
Giving the 1400$ back was probably the most humiliating thing that ever happened to the guy
AND I LOVE IT. ITS DELICIOUSLY SADISTIC!!! POETIC JUSTICE!!!
i woulda gave him an extra $1400 back then burned all the shit in his front yard lol
Oh absolutely. He was so embarrassed he had to look away couldn’t even look Cody in he eyes!! To accept the money. It made me cringe for him at how embarrassing that must’ve been for that fool!!
for real it was a sting to the heart
@@joey9511 I laughed way too hard at that
You're an astonishing, well-spoken young man. I applaud you how you handled it all.
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

Honestly the best vid he’s made. Kinda sad

He’s probably done cause charges will be pressed for this incident too.
Also I hope you got your skid loader and love your dedication. Good luck to you and your family.
The ONLY reason they got a warrant so fast is the whole sheriff's office knows he's a thief.

"The doors were open" classic justification by making it the victims fault. He's probably been stealing all his life.

@@unicornsprinkles3103 lol
@@j33dup “sarcasm”
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.

Should've pressed charges, this guy steals all the time.
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.

Hands down the most satisfying video on the internet. Collect SO much evidence. You immediately find the guy. Cops show up quickly. Wife is there to see what a piece of crap this guy is. Gets the fastest warrant ever! Gets all your stuff back. Humble that old geezer and show that you’re a billion times the man he will or ever has been. Amazing. I’d be living off of this high for decades.
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’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.
20:43 that detective took the words out of my mouth. That’s a class act mate.. your a bigger man then I would have been
Wow, dude, you are amazing, such an understanding angel...such a giant heart...you're the best! How do we buy your merchandise? Would wear it proudly!❤
he doesn't regret stealing, he just regrets getting caught. situation was handled well though
He is a hard core thief that has been stealing his whole life and just embarrassed that he got caught.
Agreed he won't steal from him again but it's in his blood to steal from everyone else.
POS.
He didn’t give it back until the search warrant showed up. He lied about the whole situation and he probably already stole some more stuff after this. He deserved to be prosecuted. IMO
I'd say, prosecute anyways
Can't even imagine how embarrassing that was for some sixty-year-old man to be caught stealing from a twenty-year-old guy. Felt really bad for his wife can't imagine how the conversation went after the police left
oh man, his wife is gonna hold this over his head for the rest of their lives. this was the Disney ending i've always wanted to see.
Dumbass blaming on a pain pill and a beer. Clearly he has bigger problems going on and lied
Hey bud you haven’t Cought me yet it’s been years
@@veryspoicy dont slack on the pills and beer my guy. If you know, you know
Yeah. Dude had a decent plot of land. It’s not like he’s struggling, he just stole just to spite. I would die from the embarrassment alone.
Wow! Bravo! 👏🏻 You are such a good person how you handled this. ❤❤❤
You handled it better than I would have young man in 57 years old good job containing your anger
I’m glad his wife sees him a negative way now. That’s priceless
How did she think he was able to get all of this stuff?
@@chaoskage1 probably told her buys stuff from ppl. Meanwhile he was stealing them LMAO
His wife prob knows and helps him
Hope she leaves him honestly.
@@peacetea1001 I truly think she didn't know by how shocked she was at the beginning. Poor lady looked betrayed
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
This guy rocks! I watched him track down his dads tractor that was stolen. If you were to look at this young man you would think that he was just some entitled punk. And yu would be absolutely incorrect! This guy is smart as hell, he has a big set of balls and has no problem tracking down theives and holding them accountable for their actions. Great guy and great set of morals.
Justice was served!. Outstanding job sheriff and detectives. That’s how it’s done.
The dude looked REALLY WELL OFF. A big spread, couple of trucks, large warehouse building… and he probably owns a business and other property… AND HE STEALS FROM HIS NEIGHBORS!!!
You know how finance works? You know you get a million dollar loan and buy a bunch of shit then not be able to pay it back? Or lose work and have huge repayments and no income? Fuck some people are entitled. I mean, this whole damned video is probably staged.
@@1one3_Racing what
That’s his other business, stealing from his neighbors. Lol
@@1one3_Racing I think its staged too Small town etc. No one with that type of property would steal. Look how far he drove down the road to see his so called neighbor.
@@1one3_Racing lol you sound like a loser thief. I bet you stole that skid loader!
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.
@@TreeFreak that’s awesome to hear, how long did that take to type? Lol
They did pretty well except for the part about asking them not to film.
Too easy on the thief tho. He will likely steal again...and again..
🤣 I love that you had a camera watching your cameras! That's clever, bait cameras worked! I hate thiefs! So glad you don't let them get away with it. I need airtags lol
I'm glad you got your stuff back. He didn't make a mistake. He's weak of character. He only changed his story when presented with evidence that you could prove it. He knew better he should have done better.
"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.
I think that the embarrassment cured him that thief... I enjoyed how Cody asked him all the tough and direct questions, and then forgave him. This was an intense story!
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.
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
It takes a lot more strength to forgive than it does to condemn. You didn’t have to let them off as easily as you did, but the fact that you did shows character. That’s a rarity today where everyone wants to be the judge, jury & and executioner. Respect WD
Dude that was awesome. I'm so glad you got your stuff back. But his ass would be going to jail
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.
I'd understand if he'd immediately owned up to it but he kept on denying right until it was impossible to do it further. No sympathy deserved whatsoever.
ya, and even after he was caught and in the process of returning the stolen items he was saying, "I didn't think I was doing nothin wrong." Of course he knew, otherwise why would he spray-paint the cameras and cover his license. This type of person wont stop lying and stealing until he's dead.
It's not his fault. He thought it was abandoned so he painted the cameras and put on a mask and showed up with a SUV with no plates to steal stuff.
Shouldn’t the police have arrested him, despite giving the stuff back? Just wondering why they let him
@@elvismorales7741 so no prosecution
Guarantee it's not his first time, there was a lot of planning in what he did. 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"
This is great - good for you guys!! I live in a rural community and this shit happens all the time. I also have a camera and lots of notices about having a camera which I think keeps most of them away!! Couple of pain pills and a beer - he's go a lot of nerve even talking to you!
Way to go my dude 😎. The good guys won today.👍 Proud of you. Peace
This guy is old enough to know what he's doing, he's done the fake remorse thing many times, its part of the job of being a thief - damage mitigation.
He will do it again. I'm all for restorative justice, but this guy needs to be flagged as a calculating P.O.S. because there will probably be more victims.
Its sad he said " I took two pain pills and drank a beer" Like he did all this in just a hour or 2 while simply buzzed. This man is a Kleptomaniac and he finally got caught.
I wonder how much more stolen stuff was in that shop.
He's looking for the sad response. He would do it again if he could get away with it
That's why i would have kept the cash and pressed full charges. He will steal again.
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.
People do shit until they get caught. When you get away with it once or twice It's just too tempting to go back to that. That's why it's best to get this sort of thing out of your system when you're a kid. If you don't feel the sting of embarrassment, you don't learn anything. You don't end up being a 60-year-old man doing dumb shit like this when you don't need to.
@@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.
Great example of forgiveness, good man
I saw this video a while back and here it is again In my feed. Kinda like Shawshank Redemption. I can watch that over and over. 😆😆😆😆😆
He's just a straight-up thief. Should be in jail!
They should have given him the choice before the warrant. Give it up now or we will press charges. Forgiveness ends when he doesn't immediately accept your amnesty Though personally I would press charges for any hidden crime. You can punch me in the face in a bar, that's fine. But steal and hide and you're trash.
yup. he has been doin it all his wretched life.
Who knows what else he has done in life, what else he has taken from people, or done to get where he is.
he will be if something else turns up on the guy or he steals again. the kid can then press the charges and add to it.
@@john.norris I kind of wonder if he’s in jail
WhistlinDiesel, you have earned my respect. You handled that situation better than I would have 100%.
I would have left my gate open with a big nice gold pot for him to take and waited until he showed up on my land and started bustin
