In an article informing us that the infamous BackDoorDisney has been charged with stealing and reselling items from Haunted Mansion, they've included a police report which seems to confirm that Buzzy was indeed stolen: https://orlando-rising.com/findbuzzy-police-report-appears-to-confirm-epcot-animatronic-was-stolen/

I was just coming here to post. Imagine that.... waiting for his defenders...

Surprisingly he's still able to post on Twitter. He's just complaing about how bad the wifi is in Jail and mentioned about the mugshots memes.

This dude has always been an idiot but he’s at least an entertaining and bold idiot. Personally I think it’s awesome that the Disney park community has had so much drama happen cause of this guy. I have to say I have respect for people who actively try to shake things up.

I think someone took over his Twitter didn’t they?

The most interesting thing about this (besides them finally arresting the guy) is that apparently there were other animatronics stolen besides Buzzy? I heard rumors about the dancers in the first scene of GMR being stolen, but those I'm not sure qualify as animatronics.

Also, those Haunted Mansion theft must have been on replacement props, right? We would have known long ago if suddenly the dancers were naked one morning.

I'm just here to see those who insisted up and down that Buzzy wasn't stolen to eat crow.

I think we all know where this thread is going to go... and how it's going to end.

Figures have multiple sets of costumes.

Can you post this over in the stroller thread too? Or is the dumpster too small for that thread.

Fitting, no?

Too small. There was an article today about how a nuclear waste storage pit in one of the atolls we blasted the crap out of is leaking. That might be big enough for that thread. Might be. And it's pretty massive too.
Mentioned leaking atoll for reference: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/enewet...ructure-leaking-radioactive-material-pacific/

Fitting, no?

Really is. I saw the news earlier and decided I wasn't going to be the one that starts this thread.

I came over to see... figured someone would have already posted.

I’d say a dumpster fire is the perfect symbol for this guy’s entire 15 mins — not just any thread about him.

Must admit — I‘m a fan of karma.

It was fun while it lasted.

uhh... his lawyer bills just got a hella lot worse

 

[Kman101]

Everything about him gave off the "come get me" vibe, like he wanted to be caught for his antics. I guess folks really really really really enjoy attention.

I think he legitimately thought he was steps ahead of the police... hence his bold modifications of things and spin doctoring after he got his first scare. He apparently didn't grasp that the investigation could still be ongoing and the police aren't always going to tip their hat on everything they have on you.

His lawyer is going to have to try to fight to supress the evidence... or quickly work out a plea deal. He's toast.
