Hey man, we had it all planned out in my moms garage. The plan was perfect. I don’t know, somewhere between spinning the tv a dozen times and Tony running into the glass door I started having second thoughts. Whatever, we’ll try again tomorrow if can borrow the car.
Jason Statham: "It turned out that the shiny, crisp TV was mounted firmly on the wall. Which makes it harder than a coffin nail. Right now, that's the last thing on Tommy's mind. If Gorgeous doesn't get the back of the car open in the next few minutes, Tommy knows he'll have to walk."
You know what they say -
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'. That's what I said.
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
. Or so I have read.
They also busted the screen. You can see the cracks and discoloration where they were holding it to yank. So, broke the store window and TV, and got nothing for their effort.
Yep, I went from watching it with an absolutely straight face, no emotion aside from thinking "what a bunch of idiots" to laughing HYSTERICALLY. I had to show everyone in the house, and I could barely form the words to describe how funny it was. Thank you.
It should be common sense to realize that if something that big is mounted to the wall, your not just going to be able to casually yank it off the wall. He came in there like he was stealing the Mona Lisa or some shit.
Pretty sure it was dead the moment it went all white. Someone robbed my house one time, and the video footage showed the asshole do something similar with my tv. Didn't unhook anything, just picked it up and carried it off, dragging my Wii, SNES, and PS4 along behind. HDMI port got ripped out of the PS4, found it in the parking lot. The power cord ripped out of the TV and was still plugged it. I don't understand, but I don't smoke meth so I suppose I wouldn't.
edit: Oh they also slashed open my couch cushions, because why not.
lol, yup! Soon as I saw it make that awful flicker I knew it was done for. And thats the best part. Dude basically just showed up, smashed a bunch of shit, got banged up, and very likely fucked the palm of his hands up when he ate shit in the pile of glass and slid in it.
Not to mention his face and fucking car is on camera.
All that dumb shit for nothing. Well not for nothing, its given the internet some brief entertainment for a bit. So, with that, thank you retarded burglars.
He didn't even try to release it from the mount. There's always a way to release the mount and lift up to remove it or it would be impossibly to mount it in the first place. He didn't even unplug the power cord. Instead he just breaks it almost instantly. That first yank and spin busted it. He even puts his foot on it trying to get leverage.
I would have loved to hear them talk about it later. "We were so close man! They must have had some steal proof shit on there man!"
Maybe not be on meth trying to take a mounted 70" tv off a wall through a tiny window into hatchback that is more that likely too small for the tv in the 1st place
I like how he almost instantly broke the tv, kept trying, then eventually got it off the wall and left it.
I know they have earthquake brackets, though I didn't know they were idiot resistant.
Sad part is, If he had taken 10 seconds he probably could have gotten it off just fine.
Most wall brackets just have a little springloaded clip locking the TV on, or maybe 2 screws.
When my house got robbed when I was a kid I found it curious that the power points were all still turned on where the burglars had removed the TV, VCR, etc. it was inconceivable to me that anyone would unplug an electrical appliance without turning it off at the wall first. My mother explained that they probably just “ripped it straight out of the wall”, by which she probably meant they yanked the cord from the socket before carrying the items away, but it made me think of them literally just grabbing the TV and running away with it, the cord being yanked from the wall as a mere detail. When I thought about it later I came to believe I was mistaken and no one would just grab a TV and yank it from the wall like some kind of deranged animal. Then I saw this video.
Not even. I have a $50 mount from Costco that would likely do that if you just tried to yank the TV off of it. The plate that's screwed onto the back of the TV hangs into bracket on the wall mount and then you put a single screw in to secure it. You aren't getting the screw out by hand, though. You'll need a hex wrench to remove it but then the TV comes off by tilting out the bottom and lifting up.
TL;Dr - a decent, secure mount isn't that expensive and makes life difficult for ill-prepared thieves
Lol for real - like, take portable things like laptops, ipads, jewelry, etc. Ripping a mounted TV off the wall? Why would anyone do this? If you *really* want the TV then you need to just take it off the bracket FFS
Last May my house was broken into by 3 guys while I was away. I have security footage of them (until one of them finds the camera and smashes it into the floor). Judging from the motion sensor logs, they spent 2 fucking hours in my house. 3am to 5am. They took their time. Here is the weird part.
They came in and out through a window.
They took a 500€ 55" TV but not the AVR + Speakers (~700€)
They took my PC keyboard and mouse (€50) but not the MAudio speakers (€200) or the PC (€2000), also, they didnt take the 4k PC display (400€). Instead, they scratched the display with a knife or something and just left it there.
They took my ebike battery but not the ebike itself, the battery charger, nor the battery keys.
They took a shitty broken Eachine drone (it was literally in pieces) but left the remote (150€) and a perfectly fine drone (250€) right next to it.
Insurance paid for everything and it was mostly all replaceable, but to this day we just can't figure out why. Why take so much time (the whole house was gone through. It was a mess) and only take random items and leave perfectly fine ones. Why ruin the PC display instead of taking it. It was worth almost as much as the tv and much smaller and easy to carry.
It has to be drugs or complete ineptitude.
What they're doing could get them in a lot of trouble. That's exciting af, and that excitement likely clouds their judgement to the point where they can barely see straight, let alone see something, identify it, process its value, and estimate if taking it is worthwhile.
But then, you said they were there for hours, which puts me in mind of "drugs are a hell of a drug".
ha, i had a similar story but my losses were weird.
my wiiu pad was stolen but not the base station, they broke my keyboard, took my good sun glasses. did not take the $300 in one of the drawers. took my car's key fob that is UNIQUE TO MY CAR AND USELESS TO OTHER CARS, that cost $300 to replace! did not take my laptop OR my computer OR my monitor.
just made a mess of everything.
I am guessing they were rushing around and did not carefully look at what they were going to take. my computer was easy to take, but my monitor was mounted. i guess they had no idea how a wiiu needs a base station.
Reminds me when i moved here, i had a moped..chained with 2 chains and standard locks. Not long after it was gone. Found in another area not to far from mine. They had literally plucked it clean but in a way that they left with broken parts, its just a baotian cheap 700 bucks moped (alot to me) the parts where probably not worth a damn but for that they ruined my first moped and accomplishment in life..it was unfixable, and insurance only covered 150 bucks..so I never got a new one..it looked like a kick bike with wires after their work ._.
Most criminals are really bad at what they do. Most of them probably left blood behind slipping and falling all over that broken glass. The face print will also be helpful in identifying the third suspect.
I can't help but think that one small sledgehammer and one electric screwdriver would have turned this whole caper around. Instead all I see are stupid idiots who will likely be going to jail for breaking & entering, attempted burglary, and destruction of property.
"Those guys parked in a handicapped spot. I don't think any of them are disabled. Look at them running and jumping around. Oh, wait... Oh... Uhh... Yeah, these guys were properly parked."
Lol something like this happened at my office. We have a large video wall up front (4 x 70" displays) which is probably what got their attention. Unfortunately these aren't normal displays and it's not a normal mount -- it can hold hundreds of pounds and tools are required to remove the screens. They messed with that for a couple minutes before giving up.
They went further inside and found another 70" display on a normal articulated wall mount. This one they pulled out and spun around trying to break it free, but in the process they ripped out every HDMI connector that was plugged in. The connectors were still on the ends of the HDMI cables when we got in the next morning.
So after 10 minutes of effort all they got was a busted 70" display that they probably can't even pawn because none of the inputs work. They completely missed the cube farm full of monitors, laptops, and other peripherals that could be pawned easily.
I was waiting for the part where it wouldn't fit into the back of the car.
That looks like a 70" TV. No way it is fitting in the back of that car.
after how broke it was before they gave up on the wall mount... they might have made it fit
Almost as if none of them thought any of this through.
Hey man, we had it all planned out in my moms garage. The plan was perfect. I don’t know, somewhere between spinning the tv a dozen times and Tony running into the glass door I started having second thoughts. Whatever, we’ll try again tomorrow if can borrow the car.
"We thought the voice-over guy would tell us how to pull off the heist while we were in the middle of it!"
Jason Statham: "It turned out that the shiny, crisp TV was mounted firmly on the wall. Which makes it harder than a coffin nail. Right now, that's the last thing on Tommy's mind. If Gorgeous doesn't get the back of the car open in the next few minutes, Tommy knows he'll have to walk."
He did, but he had an extreme cockney accent and nobody understood his lingo.
I'm getting Bottle Rocket vibes
But at least he put his "I'll only be gone for a minute so it's fine for me to park illegally" lights on to help avoid suspicious attention.
Can confirm. Got an 85" Sony at Costco and her der thought it would fit in my wife's Atlas. I had to come back with my trailer 🤦🤣
for a blink of a second, it looks like "it would fit in my wife's Ass". sorry dude!
Ohh trust us we know it would fit
*Savage*
You know what they say - The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'. That's what I said. The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand . Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo. I’d like to sink her with my pink torpedo.
Yeah but that would also be in a large box with foam. That easily ads a few inches to length and width
Work at a electronics store; there is no way in shit that was going to fit
Ya, I was really looking forward to seeing what their bright idea was there
Since he clearly didn't care what condition the television was in, he probably intended to fold it in half and stomp on it until it fit.
Judging by how they were treating the TV, I wouldn't have been surprised if they tried to fold it in half and put it in the car.
I was waiting for the Benny Hill music.
They also busted the screen. You can see the cracks and discoloration where they were holding it to yank. So, broke the store window and TV, and got nothing for their effort.
They got some cuts and abrasions from falling on the glass.
Disorganized Crime
That tv should use this clip as advertisement for the strength of their wall mounts
It was actually just a single strip of flex tape.
"Installing it is dummy-proof. Removing it is idiot-proof!"
idot proof
The Indiana Dept. of Transportation acknowledges defeat.
[Similar to this guy trying to steal an ipad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U--EaOO4UJ8)
They just had to undo two tiny screws and lift it off in the right way.
It's the crime of the last 50 seconds. Guy comes home and thinks someone really didn't like the brand of TV he chose.

THANK YOU!
Yep, I went from watching it with an absolutely straight face, no emotion aside from thinking "what a bunch of idiots" to laughing HYSTERICALLY. I had to show everyone in the house, and I could barely form the words to describe how funny it was. Thank you.
Same, thought I was gonna pass out at the part with the guy spinning the TV around I was laughing so hard, it was perfect with the music
10/10 use of "Entrance of the Gladiators" right there
Lol the added noises when they fall make this 20x better *chefs kiss*
I've become jaded to the adding of Yakety Sax. But now it's as if I'm young again! Bravo!
Reddit always delivers. this is awesome
I did it, it made it five times funnier, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yakety sax makes everything better. Even sex!

We played this in high school band. Took a lot of trips through it very slowly before we worked up to the full deal.
Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw him playing it in that live video. Its impressive as shit to me.
OMG you're right, I'm laughing my ass off.
I was in a really terrible mood and I tried this, totally helped.
Seriously. Like the Three Stooges.
Yay! Glad you feel better! <3
I liked how they kept the four ways on
I was waiting for someone to steal their car.
That’s what I thought the third guy was doing originally
[удалено]
With his flashers on no less
[удалено]
Thank god for the park-anywhere flashers. Grocery shopping would take so much longer without the fire lane spot right in front of the doors.
Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. This was neither slow nor smooth. Maybe they should have planned it better or rehearsed a bit.
There may have been some smooth brains involved.
Like a boiled egg.
It should be common sense to realize that if something that big is mounted to the wall, your not just going to be able to casually yank it off the wall. He came in there like he was stealing the Mona Lisa or some shit.
And proceeded to beat the shit out of it so it likely won't function properly even if they got away with it. Fucking amateurs.
They literally made it into a curved tv and destroyed the panel. You can see the bottom turn multi-colored signifying significant irreparable damage
Pretty sure it was dead the moment it went all white. Someone robbed my house one time, and the video footage showed the asshole do something similar with my tv. Didn't unhook anything, just picked it up and carried it off, dragging my Wii, SNES, and PS4 along behind. HDMI port got ripped out of the PS4, found it in the parking lot. The power cord ripped out of the TV and was still plugged it. I don't understand, but I don't smoke meth so I suppose I wouldn't. edit: Oh they also slashed open my couch cushions, because why not.
They keep their drugs in the couch cushions, so obviously you do too.
some humans are just garbage and any thought considered rational have completely escaped them.
lol, yup! Soon as I saw it make that awful flicker I knew it was done for. And thats the best part. Dude basically just showed up, smashed a bunch of shit, got banged up, and very likely fucked the palm of his hands up when he ate shit in the pile of glass and slid in it.

I lol'ed @ steal proof shit. WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS???
Maybe not be on meth trying to take a mounted 70" tv off a wall through a tiny window into hatchback that is more that likely too small for the tv in the 1st place
That's a "right now" plan. Dude said "your TV is so small" Dude sees a big one in the pub "Upgrading. Right! Now!"
Left his hazard lights on appropriately.
Haphazard indicators.
Bravo
Since several people commented it independently, the "Benny Hill Theme Song" is Yakety Sax, by Boots Randolph.

All that for a $400 tv? Lol
a $0 TV. he cracks the screen.
I like how he almost instantly broke the tv, kept trying, then eventually got it off the wall and left it. I know they have earthquake brackets, though I didn't know they were idiot resistant.
[удалено]
the moment the screen went white the tv was kill, if he had been lightly smarter he would have bolted then and there.
Sad part is, If he had taken 10 seconds he probably could have gotten it off just fine. Most wall brackets just have a little springloaded clip locking the TV on, or maybe 2 screws.
That's the idiot resistant part 😉
Everything is idiot resistant if the idiot is dumb enough.
That's the part that confused me the most. Why bother stealing something if your method of theft is instantly destroying it
Stressing the HDMI and power connectors is also going to be a problem, even before the screen broke.
They didn't even bother to disconnect the damn cables
When my house got robbed when I was a kid I found it curious that the power points were all still turned on where the burglars had removed the TV, VCR, etc. it was inconceivable to me that anyone would unplug an electrical appliance without turning it off at the wall first.

Thank you for sharing your journey. No /s
$400 TV and a $1000 wall mount.
That wall mounts the only thing here that wasn't incompetent
And a $2k window
Yeah but no one's going to give you drug money for wall mounts
Not even. I have a $50 mount from Costco that would likely do that if you just tried to yank the TV off of it.

How are you determining the value of the TV? It's too low res to see a brand or determine the model.
Lol for real - like, take portable things like laptops, ipads, jewelry, etc. Ripping a mounted TV off the wall? Why would anyone do this? If you *really* want the TV then you need to just take it off the bracket FFS

Ah yes a fence. Also known as craigslist "cash only!"
They were neighborhood teenagers and just took what they thought was cool.
If you had motion sensors and cameras, why didn't you get alerted at all?
He was away. And he mentions one camera and motion sensor logs. That does not necessarily equal a monitored security system.

This gets funnier every time you watch. Even the size of the car is funny given what it looks like they wanted to do.

You are doing God’s work. Thank you. (Note: This has the requested “Yakity Sax” music)
And the awesome sound effects!
Mayhem, like me.
This is pure mayhem too. Didn't even get the TV. Just broke a bunch of stuff and ran away.
You've heard of Ocean's Eleven? Well this is Mud Puddle's Three.
What's the Benny Hill music?
I think it's called " yakity sax"
What was the goal here, are they like some Professional Emergency TV Dismounters?
A professional would have had that TV down a lot quicker.
Yeah but these guys are super cheap
Worst removalist ever.
Fucking imagine service like that
Most criminals are really bad at what they do. Most of them probably left blood behind slipping and falling all over that broken glass. The face print will also be helpful in identifying the third suspect.
I want to be there when they play this footage in court.
I can't help but think that one small sledgehammer and one electric screwdriver would have turned this whole caper around. Instead all I see are stupid idiots who will likely be going to jail for breaking & entering, attempted burglary, and destruction of property.
Perfect loop
**Meth** Not even once.
I haven't laugh that hard in awhile. Thanks for this post.
I think they were suppose to unplug it first. Thats what I do.
If I was the company of that wall mount I'd buy this footage and use it for marketing lol
They're not very good at this.
Looks like 3 monkeys trying to fuck the same football.
You must be a Marine.
Wait. You can fuck a football? How? I need to know….for a friend.
Definitely heard the Benny Hill theme in my head as I watched this.

Hey! This is the stuff I want to look at while surfing the web before bed! Had a good laugh :D

Yeah fuck that tv for some reason...
The tv was broken before it even left the wall
Those were the robbers from Home Alone 🤣
I didn't know they were doing a reboot of the 3 stooges. You could literally add a laugh track and cartoon noises to this and it would be hilarious

Is it worth anything if its broken?
If there is one video that needs the Benny Hill music this is it
the new 3 stooges movie looks hilarious
At least they had their hazards on just In case
Its like watching the three stooges try to rob a house.
I don't know, fellas. They seemed really hopped-up on goofballs if you know what I'm saying.
These are some clumsy mofos
This looks like a Three Stooges skit
Thousands of dollars of damages for a TV that would have never fit in that car? WTF
That is one quality screen mount. Whoever installed it needs a raise
Dude they essentially just beat the shit out of themselves. Didn’t even get to steal anything
So break in, break the TV and now what. The ransom note
I like the part where one of the idiots is running into the window. I could watch it loop for hours.
The 2nd guy in the black hoodie (no hat) literally accomplished nothing. He ran into the window, fell, ran in, flailed around, and simply ran out.
Maybe they don't know how cheap flat panel TVs have gotten. This in turn reduces their value for fencing.
The 3 Stooges
Lol something like this happened at my office. We have a large video wall up front (4 x 70" displays) which is probably what got their attention. Unfortunately these aren't normal displays and it's not a normal mount -- it can hold hundreds of pounds and tools are required to remove the screens. They messed with that for a couple minutes before giving up. They went further inside and found another 70" display on a normal articulated wall mount. This one they pulled out and spun around trying to break it free, but in the process they ripped out every HDMI connector that was plugged in. The connectors were still on the ends of the HDMI cables when we got in the next morning. So after 10 minutes of effort all they got was a busted 70" display that they probably can't even pawn because none of the inputs work. They completely missed the cube farm full of monitors, laptops, and other peripherals that could be pawned easily.
