Rolfe! I've missed you!
Oh foolish human. Clearly you have no idea who REALLY runs the ADMachine page:

I haven't checked this thread in a while and good lord, this garbage is still going around?

For the millionth time, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said he "is stolen." Present tense. The investigation is still active. Disney deferred comment to OSCO's statement. Just read the damn story that's in this thread: https://orlando-rising.com/orange-county-sheriffs-office-disney-world-animatronic-buzzy-is-stolen/

If you choose to believe what "Hoot Gibson" said based on him claiming "I know a lot of people at Epcot" over what the police called an active investigation of theft.....I just don't know how to communicate to you how stupid that is. You're way too deep in the Disney bubble if you decide that sort of unsourced hearsay is more reliable than an official police statement.
While I’m not disputing this at all I think it is worth noting that that Orlando Rising site isn’t a real legitimate news site, it’s just a theme park news site and seems to be a newer less established one at that. I had never heard of them before it was brought up here. They simply provided a quote with nothing beyond that to back it up. I wouldn’t consider them to be more credible than Hoot although he offered nothing to back up his claim.

I do find it curious that if an animatronic was truly stolen which as we’ve seen seems to be a popular story, that the actual legitimate news organizations haven’t picked up the story.

I'd settle for getting paid to go around and moderate all day.;) Seriously, it's just a hobby. The Boss (wdwmagic) does send me a very nice wine basket every Christmas, though. :)
I admire your dedication tbh! There is no way I could wade through the dumpster fire some of these threads become without losing my mind! 😂

It has been on the news...the story has been twisted quite a bit but they're reporting he is stolen.
It was on Yahoo News and Fox News, idk if you consider those "legitimate"! 🤔🤣 It was on some local news as well.

Those were literally just reposts of the same story with wrong info though lol (Face mold being Buzzy’s mutilated head,etc)

"Unless weird Disney politics get involved, you 'll see him in the Guardians of the Galaxy Queue and that's the solid truth that nobody wants to hear. I haven't seen him backstage because I don't go backstage anymore."

Been saying this FROM DAY 1

Yep. When he shows up in there we’ll finally put this argument to rest. And like I said before if anyone wants to ask Hoot anything themselves go ahead.

Do you have any links? I haven’t found anything. The first image you posted is just an image of Buzzy with no content, this image has been used countless times to talk about the gloves etc. being stolen. The second image just says it’s missing (not stolen). Legitimate news isn’t going to run with the story of the actual animatronic being stolen without confirmation. All the legitimate news stories instead focused on the clothing items being stolen.

Again, the story has been spun quite a bit but it is being reported on. Not saying this confirms or denies anything, you just mentioned no news was actually reporting on it so I wanted to clear it up! :)
