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

[brb1006]

It's his account. Supposedly a friend is running it for him at this point. They'd better hope they don't get caught by the boss.

Especially after posting a photo of the Costume Storage area.

I was under the impression he uploaded at least 5 costume room pics. That probably won't go over too well

Those were not his pictures though. He doesn’t work for Disney, he simply reuploads old pictures and submissions from people.

But it's a Disney trash can. Many different varieties spread throughout the park. There was a story of a "talking" trash can that used to be at MK WDW. The trash can was named "PUSH". Stories of Push also being at DLR and DLP.

PUSH was a contracted outside source. It was the owners property and when Disney decided that they didn't want to pay what the owner and operator wanted they just didn't renew the contract and the guy left with his talking trash can. It was gone long before any of this stuff started happening. That was a show prop not a utility trash can although I suppose that among the large grouping of brain dead that frequent the parks, there was probably a lot of trash that had to be removed from it daily.

One of them showed Mickey Mouse.

They didn't actually have proof that it was his car other than it was the same make/model/color. They were trying to intimidate him.

If it was a beat up Honda accord. That might be the case. Could be anyone. But a BMW on the backstage lot with Buzzy's Jacket? That is some slim pickings.

There managers who are allowed to drive backstage. Walt Disney Imagineering’s office is backstage at Epcot. A BMW backstage would not be some rare sight.

No but a bmw with Buzzy's clothes would be. Add onto that his history of uploading pics with geo data and his own stans alleging they've seen him wear the Buzzy jacket and it really narrows it down.

Two different scenarios.

He wasn't being detained at that point.. which is why when he said he wanted to leave they said 'ok'

BUT they were going to seize the phone, which is why even when they said he could leave, he had to leave the phone.. and when he went for the phone in response to that.. that's when the situation changed, and they were trying to prevent him from doing anything with the phone. The tackling was to 'protect the evidence' if you want to simplify it... Then, they switch to detaining him, which is a temporary state they can use while investigating if he should be arrested or not. The struggle was then grounds for them arresting him and charging him with his first charge (which they later dropped).

Not sure about Iphone's, but with Androids, you can remotely encrypt and delete all of the data.

If you're going to do illegal , use Android.

iPhones are also encrypted (Remember the fight with the FBI?), can be remotely wiped and even have a way to quickly shut off the biometrics.

Yep, if you hit the lock button five times quickly, it disables Touch/Face ID and forces passcode entry. In addition to being encrypted and remotely wiped, you can set the phone to erase all data if 10 incorrect passcode attempts are entered in a row. It always amazes me how many people decide to not use a passcode on their phone, especially with quick biometric unlocks. Even if you're not doing illegal activity, there's so much sensitive data on your phone. I'm willing to bet Spikes was dumb enough to not have a passcode set up.

That would not be hard to believe as he was apparently dumb enough to walk into a questioning with incriminating evidence on his person.

I'm not condoning his crime, but even if he was attached to the theft of the Buzzy AA he's done less damage to Epcot than the Iger administration.

Now to just wait on the pics of the recovered Buzzy clothes...

They’re part of a completely separate investigation which Patrick isn’t even part of.

 

[DreamfinderGuy]

The BackDoorDisney account that is currently up is absolutely not his. He recently filed a DMCA takedown against it for using his old profile photo. The current account is just reposting photos already available online (and submissions I assume), and nobody seems to know who exactly runs it.

 

[brb1006]

Bigger version of that moment

 

[MotherOfBirds]

For someone who seems to want to think of himself as the Walter White of Disney, he wasn't even smart enough to use a burner phone.

Edit: I also want to add that Spikes looks remarkably like Spike from Land Before Time

Can this gif please be pinned to the top of each page, it's so beautiful!

They showed him those photos in the questioning and indicated that they were able to see they were geotagged to his phone #.

For just the Haunted Mansion it's more likely he's looking at a Hefty fine and Probation.

Who's to say what happens if he gets anymore charges brought against him for other thefts of Disney Props.

And then of course there's Buzzy. If he did take him, Buzzy is programmed to perform "Robot Revenge".

With how valuable that stuff was and the arrogance surrounding the crime, I'm nearly certain he will spend some time in prison.
