So I haven’t kept up with this all, so i apologize,may have been posted, but the full-length unredacted complaint states:
-They have photos sent from his cell phone showing the stolen items sitting in HIS vehicle.
-Had info on text messages from his phone saying the stolen items were sold for $8000

the plot thickens!

I hope his parents are ready to pony up for some good lawyer spend. Sounds like the police had far more ready to snap on him than just a polite interview :)

Felony Theft isn't a up the creek level thing for a first timer.. but it's gonna take some $$ to defend and plead out.

It's dumb to steal.
It's even dumber to sell stolen items.
Especially during the internet age.
:banghead:
You know what’s even dumber? Taking photographic PROOF of what you stole sitting in your car, then go bragging to your friends about selling things you stole for $8,000, and allegedly keeping a wealth of self-incriminating evidence sitting right on your phone. Like geez, at least give the police something to do!

It’s bad enough to steal, all these things just make the clothes theft even more unfathomable. If anyone still believes these more recent urban explorer types deep down “love Disney,” this should be proof to you they don’t. If they loved Disney, Disney history, or Buzzy, they woudnt be stealing his clothes, end of story.

It's kind of like growing up with a teddy bear for several years as a child, then finding that old teddy bear in an attic when you graduate college, then having someone you don't know just take it away from you just as you were about to reach for it.
Let's put that story in a more real situation. You grew up with a teddy bear for several years and then your mother came in a took it away because she thought that you weren't interested anymore. When you returned from college you find out that your Mother put it in the attic in a locked storage area that was never going to be opened and no matter what you were not going to be able to ever reach for it because it was untouchable by that point and was never to be again. Since WoL closed it has been out of your reach unless you decided to break a law to do it. Disney was never planning to use it again as Buzzy. At some point we all have to let go. We have to know that some things are worth a lot of bad feelings about, a parent, a wife, a good friend, a favorite uncle or aunt, the 55000 people attached to the names on a wall in Washington,DC. At some point life itself lets you know what is worth grieving over and what isn't. Life is a cruel teacher. I know I come across sounding heartless from time to time, but, rest assured I am not. In my 70 years I have lost a lot of people that I was close too, so, I guess, it is difficult for me to get all upset about a robot. However, I apologize for not being sensitive to what I consider to be hardly anything worthy of that kind of grief. Miss it? Sure! Wish it was still there? OK! Wish we could all see it again? Fine!... but, that magnitude of grieving over what amounts to a big toy that you didn't even own, is something that someday you might look back on and think that the emotion was a little misguided.

I’ve been keeping up with this story. But why do I have a feeling that Buzzy was damaged/ vandalized and no longer salvageable? The focus being solely on his clothes is not giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I’d feel much better if they actually admitted to him being stolen. Time will tell I supposed.

So it looks like BDD did indeed steal from the WoL. That guy is nuts.

I don't need a 10min video to tell me 15 seconds of content. That's why I have zero interest in any of the Disney YT or podcasts. The entire economy is built up to make the sites self-important above all else so they get their revenue shares.. steering people to talk about themselves nearly as much as the topic of the channel.

Some of the old timers were a lot better at sourcing stuff... but their production quality was bad, as was their signal to noise ratio. Now.. I can just let others wade through the crap and highlight what needs listening to.


Part of that is Youtube's fault. Youtube wants 10+ minute videos (at the moment, seemingly they change this frequently) as those get more popular in the search results and recommendations

That’s cool. I dont know you, and you don’t know me. So I really don’t care about your opinion on my personal life whatsoever. 👍🏻

You’re right. They’re trying to be like Adam the Woo, or Hoot & Chief, but they lack the one thing. Their genuine love of Disney. Take Adam’s Infamous “Banned from Disney” vlog. You can see how devastated he was, but he still understood why they did it. Compare it to Matt Whatever his name is. He just spends the whole video complaining about Disney, acting like he did nothing wrong. He showed no remorse. You can’t fake a genuine love of Disney.

Yeah Sonswa just basically showed no concern or care for what he was doing and when confronted TWICE in Wonders of Life within a couple days he lied both times and then ran like the wimp he really is

Yes, that's what I mean by 'the entire economy' - The idea of YT channels, promotion, and monetization.

The behavior of people is modified to make their YT channel work and generate revenue.. even tho the actual YT thing doesn't cost them anything. Except those that make it their 'job' (cringe)

Post has been deleted, so maybe this is irrelevant at this point, but NO urban explorers, have not devolved into stealing. I am not an urban explorer, but I enjoy their videos, and from what I know REAL urban explorers have a code to leave everything as it was found... this guy was a common theif. I had a little respect for him for the content he released, until I found out he indeed stole the clothes... so for guys like ATW, Mat Sonswa etc.. they are in a different league than this backdoor disney chap... he’s (spikes) a low life theif and to rope ATW and Sonswa and the others who did nothing but bring interesting content, in the same league as him is to give them a bad name which they are undeserving of IMNSHO.

Or that one guy that claimed he had a guy go in WOL and film it for him even though he talks about the guy when describing the footage and how it was shot. Then he accidentally says "I made sure to focus on this corner" or something like that making it obvious he himself snuck in and shot the footage

Hey! He helped found the Wonders fanpage. He might’ve been an idiot, but he was 14. Lay off of him.

I, as well as some other people, predict that YouTube will fade into obscurity within a few years. I think that another video site that is less corporate and cares more about the creators and viewers will pop up someday soon and pull a lot of people away from YouTube. I even heard a crazy rumor a while back that an adult site was considering launching a family friendly YouTube competitor. Not sure how that would go over with the general public but it would certainly be interesting.
What about the one guy who claimed he was...while filming himself...."sneaking" into the parks through the main entrance "without paying"....I don't recall the channel, is he one of the people who ran into issues? (hopefully)
I'm pretty sure that guy was just a liar. The internet enables people to say whatever they want and people will believe it.
