Catching another person who tried stealing from me

Sad to see a small creator have stuff stolen

In his defense it was technically at the curb unattended. That usually equals discarded. I don't think he actually had intent to steal on this one. And he was scared as shit once he was accused of stealing it.

I grew up in small town Michigan, we always left stuff that we didn’t want anymore by the trash and mailboxes and people would come and pick it up a few hours later. I honestly think his intent was not stealing. The simple fact he even messaged you back or showed up makes me feel that way even more.

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.

Definitely can see how the guy thought it was free. I live in a small town where people leave stuff out by the mailbox and everyone knows it’s free. Some people decide to leave a sign and others don’t. So it was good to see that he let the guy keep it. Just a misunderstanding

Cody has completed life and he's just doing side quests at this point

wauw! that tank at the 5:19 killed me almost from laughing. Thanks Cody.

In my part of TN you dont put things out at the street unless its there because its trash, its being given away for free, or you need to make content for your YT channel. I appreciate the fact the guy brought it back as well as the generosity and good heart of Whistlin Dixie

Glad to see a small creator stand up for themselves.

I think he could've actually thought it was trash if it was just sitting next to the mailbox, where some people put their trash cans out to get picked up. I'm glad guy was honest and he was able to keep the box. Cody has like 2000 of them lol

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.

The fact he brought it back and it was on the side of the road shows he's a good person. You actually wasted this mans time.

How is it that Cody's high budget content and no budget content are both always bangers! This dude never misses!!!!

That’s was nice of you to let him keep the box. I think he was being honest about thinking it was trash. The tank was definitely overkill lmao

I actually appreciate you handling it with grace. Where I’m from, if stuff is set out by the road it is typically free to give away or trash. Considering he doesn’t sound exactly from around these parts he may have assumed the same. Good on you Cody

What a rabbit hole I went down with this channel. This is comedy gold! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can really see how he thought it was trash.

In my area, if it's at the end of your driveway it's usually just trash. So I can understand him thinking that. But, there is always the chance he didn't think that.

5:58 “I just work really hard” best roast for a thief💀

I believe he thought was garbage! Where I'm from if something out by mailbox where trash usually sits it's what they call a curb alert "free" . Scrappers and anyone with trucks collect anything sitting out at a curb. The fact he brought back and immediately admitted and thought was trash was very realistic. Good on you tho for considering that and letting him keep. At least you again showed that you can find anyone attempting to go on property to steal.
