My neighbor is a Santa Barbara newspaper thief
I figured, I’m a wedding photographer, why not function as a videographer for a few minutes, so here’s a video of the neighbor about to steal my newspaper (it had been not showing up for about 6 days, so I decided it was time to catch the thief. Funny thing is, this guy is like 50+ years old… so sad… he reads the note and just walks away… maybe I’ll buy him a subscription for himself.
The link didn’t work to the video….fix it cause I REALLY wanna see it!!
Fixed thank you to you tube
awesome!
poor guy – has to resort to stealing his neighbor’s newspaper. what is up? geez
HAHAHAHA… I laugh every time I read that note!!
My mom says I should take down the picture… she doesn’t feel it represents me well… I think it’s my use of the word “bastard”… any thoughts? does it stay? does it get replaced?
No let it stay. It’s pretty authentic and I think most people can relate. Let it stay. Overall it’s hilarious 😉
Although I almost feel bad for the guy, actually I do, but it is really incredibly funny… If you listen close I think I can hear THE BIRD tim! haha.
Yeah, I think it might be a nice gesture to buy him a subscription…the use of the word ‘bastard’ was a little strong and it made me feel bad for him.
Does he live by himself? because if thats the case I think you might go to hell for swearing at a lonely old man who just wanted to stay current with the news.
Get back to me on that…in the mean time I’ll be praying for you.
haha.
😉
ya thanks for the text message that woke me up at 6am. Bastard.
🙂
Absolutely hilarious!
LEAVE IT! The consensus of girls I have shown agree that it is flippin hilarious!!! And it totally reflects your personality 😉
alright… it stays!! 🙂
Though I think my mom’s point is kinda worrysome now that someone has said this fits my personality… 🙂 hehe
Freakin’ hilarious!
It reflects it in a GOOD way! Your sassy Tim! (inner monologue: Can guys be called “sassy”? I guess they can if they know how to use an eyelash curler!…so yes, a guy can be called sassy.)
Dude, you should be a private detective, that was hilarious! Hahaha!
The pic should stay… gives us the full experience…adds to the hilarity. 🙂
Chris, that is great! I laugh everytime I read the note, a bit strong, but I get it. You should read the notes I write back to the Nigerians, and they are royalty.
I had a neighbor that would steal the fruit off my peach tree. I walked out one day and there she was completely cleaning out my peaches. I stood there and she looked at me and said “well, you normally aren’t home during the day.” Hmm…
dude, colinmichael his name isn’t Chris. Its Tim.
:p
now this is funny
i couldn’t see the video is there any way u can email me the video
He could have just asked to borrow it after you were done…plenty of people do that. His life probably holds little thrills as it is…stealing a newspaper is the highlight of his day. Poor old guy…you should just drop it in his mail box next time you’re finished with it.
This is really funny – our neighbors bring us the paper after they are done with it… it shows up on our step mysteriously -almost every day… I should tape it for you. We never see them come. It is just there. They started dropping it off after our son totaled the car – so we could check out the auto section. You should leave a note asking him if he would like you to buy him his own subscription…. or asking him to -at least – put it back when he is done…ha ha! :)))
I agree with Steve! You could start giving it to him after you’re done with it.
Heh, I bet the old fella never thought he’d end up on the internet this way.
I vote for putting it on his step when you’re done with it. 🙂 Sounds like a nice thing to do! And we all know you’re a nice guy! 😉
Good call, mate! You shoot weddings? I’m always looking for more top photographers – write me a comment on my blog, will ya? (I plan here in SB and just randomly stumbled here) PS I’d be all for a flaming sack of poo on his porch, but I’m vindictive like that. Heh!
hilarious! i thought it said “buster” at first and i thought was even funnier than the other ‘b’ word! 🙂
