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

[Phil12]

I'm going to get angry replies for this, but what the hell.

I think this is a prime example of why the Disney fan community needs to be more careful about who they accept as an "insider."

I know this board is very defensive of its own insiders, but Hoot's claims about Buzzy were believed by people on here and on social media simply by nature of his reputation. The Orlando Rising guy even mentioned that Orlando Weekly quoted him as an expert on the Buzzy thing.

If you become conditioned to accept this supposedly inside information as fact, it's very easy for someone with no actual source (like Hoot, apparently) to spread a lot of nonsense. Just be careful who and what you believe.

"Insiders" always impart a tremendous bias in all the information they report on these forums. They often throw shade on TWDC because they think the company has not grown in the way they perceive that Uncle Walt would have wanted. And they tend to open old wounds by complaining about the demise of Horizons and other old attractions. Insiders attempt to steer and influence public opinion by providing a healthy dose of their own personal opinions while attempting to pass those opinions on as fact. Spirit was legendary in this regard.

He actually got suspended on his original account for threatening someone over the Jungle Cruise.

Ok I didn’t know about the Jungle Cruise comment incident.

I'm confused....how do these pics depict the "aftermath" of Buzzy being stolen? The AA is IN the pic.

The AA isn’t in the first pic however. I’m implying that if the chair was still in the theatre during the theft it could have been used to get up on top of the CRT screens.

So Buzzy put up a fight?

Well Buzzy did leak fluid, I guess it was a slippery situation getting him out lol.

So you think they cut the lines and unbolted him to the point he fell on the railing and they then got him free?

I'm picturing the scene from Bojack Horseman where Todd's girlfriend's family tries to gift them a barrel of lube.

Buzzy had a service lift underneath him for when he needed servicing. It seems to me like that would've been used in the heist if the perpetrator(s?) were smart. I doubt they just tried to push him over and he fell and crashed into the CRT

You would know, you were there.

What?

Everyone asks "where is buzzy," but no one asks "how is buzzy."

I hear he is feeling cold and a little drained. He has no energy.

"A little drained."

Knowing that he is stolen, I’m sure as dumb as the person who stole him was, they wouldn’t want to destroy him or sell his mechanical parts, as that would destroy the expensive value of buzzy, and whoever currently has him is probably hiding him in some basement somewhere. I have a strong feeling that BDD was highly involved in this theft, and hopefully his texts reveal who took buzzy, and then he can be tracked down from there.

I'm surprised that some fans have not insisted that this crime be investigated as a kidnapping.

Strange thing about that CRT though is that I never even noticed it was like that after the theft. I first noticed that back in march only because the front plate was laying on the benches. If only we still had all that footage, I would be looking to see if it was damaged at all. If Buzzy actually hit the thing it would at least have scuffs on it

Quick question, do you by any chance know how high Buzzy is from the floor? I could probably calculate how much of an impact he would have on the Ctv if so.

I’m not sure, no. Ten feet was a guesstimate but I would imagine it’s that (give or take a few feet)

Are you talking about the footage from the theater from after the theft? If so, I have it, and it looks like something scraped the top of the crt to make the casing pop off.

I'll do you one better: WHY is Buzzy?

Bwaha, great minds think alike!

Okay, so since Buzzy fell from 10 ft or 3.048 Meters while Buzzy himself weighed at 300 pounds, that means he fell at 7.729217295431667 Meters per second. This means that he has a Kinetic Energy of 8,961.12

However, if Buzzy fell on the CRT Monitor, he likely would've only fell 2 feet or 0.61 meters if we judge by this photo.

This would mean that theoretically Buzzy has a impact force of 14,690.36065573771 Newtons which is the same number in PSI.

Regular Glass breaks at 6,000 PSI, BUT, steel bends or breaks at 40,000 PSI, which Buzzy didn't reach.

Note that this is only theoretical though, so Buzzy may be higher or lower than the theoretical position meaning he could've possibly actually bent/dented/broke the steel after all or possibly might not have even broken the glass.
