Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

[NormC]

It definitely would have taken a team, but we've already seen that he had willing accomplices.

And some are posting here.

Do you think we're going to hear an actual announcement from Orange County Sheriff or too soon for that?

Since no one has been charged in the theft it's still an open investigation. They wouldn't make any sort of statement until charges are filed. Even then, I'm not sure they would make a statement. Disney probably wants to sweep this whole affair under a rug and the Sheriff's office has no real reason to make Disney mad by making this more public than it already is. At some point in a trial he'd probably be presented as evidence, so that's probably when we would find out about it.

I hate to give people false hope, but there's a decent chance Buzzy has been recovered. It's obvious that Spikes wasn't exactly a criminal mastermind and the police have been in contact with at least some of the people he sold to. Whoever bought Buzzy sure as heck didn't chop him up for spare parts, so he'd have just been sitting in a collection somewhere, which the police would have seized if found. He may sit in an evidence locker for a few years while the case is prosecuted, but he would eventually be turned back over to Disney.

Just wanna see a picture of him and know he's okay...

Breaks my heart that we barely have decent footage of the animatronic in action because the theater was so dim and everyone focused on the screens and now he's goooneeee

Since it appears that it is nearly impossible to get in and nearly impossible to get out of Epcot with that contraband there is only one possible culprit. And that person is....

Spoiler

Tom Cruise

I wish whoever had gone in there and taken this video got some better shots of the platform so I could have an easier time with my armchair analysis.

Here's a couple more.

That’s true, but I still just don’t see Spikes being able to cut Buzzy out from 10 feet in the air and carry him out. He was the size of an adult human and probably at least 200 pounds if you include the chair.

He does have this lift directly below him.

I just realized today that this thread makes me feel like I’m playing a Phoenix Wright game.

I’m slowly losing hope we’ll ever get a true end to this mess of an incident or even see Buzzy again but at the same time I’m not giving up.

This whole incident could easily be turned into a drinking game with everything going on ...

Hang on a second. If you look at one of the hydraulic lines that attaches Buzzy to the axis, it looks like it's slowly deteriorating/being worn apart/has been cut. Especially if you look at the one on the top left. If you look at the pictures where Buzzy isn't there, you can see that removal has gone no further than the ripping point. Just something I noticed that I thought was neat.

Yeahhh I'm going through a little drama withdrawal with the news having slowed down ...
I'm sure even if it dies out, everyone will snap back to attention as soon as anything new surfaces. Would pay for someone to send me a message on here or twitter or discord or SOMETHING the second we know anything else I guess that's what following Distwitter is for

It looks like the covering was already coming off at that point, which is why it was cut there, one less layer to go through.

Exactly, I'll see you for round 3 in another 6 months lol.

 

[GhostlyGoofy]

Has the trial actually started? I'm sure some drama will pour out of that.

 

[Magenta Panther]

I can't believe some idiot actually went into a Disney attraction and stole an AA and thought he'd get away with it. The arrogance and self-delusion is strong with that one.

Don’t worry, once more news comes out everyone on Distwitter will be talking about that for a few days.

I was trying to find an estimated price on Buzzy and just watched an "Offhand Disney" video, I had missed that BDD mentioned police said buzzy was valued at $$120,000 in one of his videos.

Wow -- that would qualify as "Grand Theft Audioanimatronic!"

And yet nobody has been charged.

Anything else of interest in that Offhand Disney video...?

Not really, he got a lot of details wrong, like saying the mold of Buzzy's head was actually the animatronic head with it's eye gouged out.

Does literally nobody take the 3 seconds to research stuff before they make claims or even better, take 3 seconds to look at the pic of the face mold where it is abundantly clear its not what was on the animatronic..?? Like...he had articulated eyelids and eyes that were separate from his face. Isn't it super obvious that the mold has skin covering the eyes!!! Did they think his eyes were painted on? Did nobody look at a pic of the animatronic to compare I just. Geeze!!
