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

The other guy hid his HM dress at his mother's house according to the affidavit. This is all speculation, but I feel like if this guy believed he bought it on the level he would have shared it on Social Media before the Missing Buzzy story broke out.
Exactly. He quietly stored it at his mother's house. So if they ever searched his house for contraband, they would not have detected the dress. I wish they mentioned where the 18 other stolen items were stored. I am willing to bet it was not sitting around his house in the open. Everything points to Finley knowing he was in possession of stolen items.
And of course, Finley has an attorney because he knows he will be in trouble soon.

For the record, I’ve never claimed to be or tried to pose as a Disney Insider. Any and all inside info I get comes from these boards, with the exception of the few things Spikes told me from his stint with WDI (Play Pavilion, Inno West demo (Which was already a strong rumor here anyway)) and the occasional few lines dropped to me in private which I can rarely validate as credible. I know a lot about Wonders and everything that’s gone on inside it for the last 30 years. I for better or for worse roped myself into this Buzzy story and that’s where I sit now. I don’t know much more than any of you do at this point

“The clothes were recovered”

“YOU’RE NOT CREDIBLE, FANBOY!”

“OCSO Recovers Buzzy’s clothes from Robin Lopez”

“....”

What are you talking about? You're trying to come back with the "I was right.." victim card? Have you forgotten what you've posted in the thread?
He didn’t take Buzzy’s clothes. Just some stuff from Haunted Mansion
Buzzy’s clothes were sold on the black market as well. Don’t believe they’ll be recovered unless someone comes out and says who sold them to them, and hands over the clothes
They’re part of a completely separate investigation which Patrick isn’t even part of.

I wonder if the CPA is the fence, and he finds young CMs to steal stuff for him to sell...

This is beginning to stink of something much bigger than just Spikes.

Possibly... check in with justintheharris... he's already got all the dirt on him :)

But.. I think we would see a different reference and posture from the police if they really suspected that. It's all possible.. but I doubt he's the mastermind.

It’ll be hard though to figure it out. They’ll need to have probable cause to comb though other discussions to determine if the CPA is the presumed gatekeeper. Even with that, nobody has really been as brazen as Patrick Spikes, whom as I said before would do anything to make himself look good, even before we had reasonable doubt about his character. This might just be an isolated case, it might not be. Outside of the Spikes cases, there really isn’t any fire, just smoke.

The detectives would need reasonable doubt to even look beyond the Spikes case, that saying if it’s to a larger ring.

And I said it before but I'll say it again: I don't believe Finley either. Finley totally knew this was all stolen. He's sitting Patrick under the bus in hopes to save himself. It might work and that frustrates me.
I also find it hard to believe that he didn't know this stuff was stolen. I mean, how could it not be? Still, are you really upset about Spikes being thrown under the bus for stealing and selling it?

Dunno.. there are many roads possible that could lead the police to more dirt...

- They will already have access to Spike's financial records which could turn up other transactions.. including things Brett possibly hasn't acknowledged. If so, then they will have more cause to investigate him more.

- Someone can flip... including Spikes. Whose to say he doesn't know others doing the same thing with mr. finley? If so, the prosecution will have more bartering power to give up on spikes to chase the bigger fish.

- You also now have big public figures involved, that would love to paint themselves as the victim and not the only one.. so if they have other leads of who might be socializing and discussing these buys with mr finley... you can bet those high profile people would be eager to name names to take the focus off them as the top of the pyramid.

Once they have their foot in the door with real evidence of crimes involving someone, the doors open quickly to expose more links and associates. Especially when the people are sloppy.

Clearly before the interview the police had knowledge, but not the concrete evidence in hand... but once they got the phone and more physical evidence... the doors swing open for more searches.

They've been slow to prosecute because it looks like they are still aiming bigger...
