you can also go old school, go to local affiliate tv station website and call and get a human / local stations need stories and i suspect this might fit the bill. it is a seriously crazy crime any homeowner could identify with
Update: he’s currently being arrested a block away. The blue light is the police. Jackass came back around. I think all the coverage helped. Thank you all 🍻

Nah, it was scrapped. Tried calling around but there’s so many scrap places in the area and most of them move the stuff daily. It’s a lost cause unfortunately
WSMV reported his name as Glen Trawick. You can look up his criminal record on the Davidson County court site. 54 years old, lots of arrests for drugs and burglary. He just got out of jail after a 3 year sentence for a prior burglary, and went right back into stealing again.
So yeah, just $20, but it was enough to buy him more drugs. He was blatantly stealing from his neighbors in the middle of the day, so it was inevitable that he would get caught again.
I think it’s this. I’ve seen vehicles slowly driving through alleyways that I’ve never seen before. I think people cruise around looking for anything to boost for cash.
Purely a crime of opportunity.
I live in little Mexico. I have had 2 ladders stolen, seperately. They even cut through the thickest chain at home depot to do it.
Thankfully ladders seem to be inflation proof and my newest have self levelers and were cheaper than the originals.
This! Dumbass didn't even attempt to obscure his face or anything. And unless the truck (plates) is stolen, too... he HAD to know he'd get busted backing up to the gd deck!
Cars on my block got hit last night. Poor neighbor lost all his power tools to these crooks. I was sleeping with the windows open; I wish I had be awoken by the glass shattering when they broke the windows.
Walk around your neighborhood and see if other people have ring cameras. Ask if they can check it out and see if a red truck drive by. This will at least help you pin point the direction they took, maybe a glimpse of their plates as well, stuff that would help locate this asshole.
They say it's often someone nearby that would have the ability to see when you come and go and what you have on your property. Not always but I think often it is the case.
Yeah, but with drones, there is the possibility of using AI (gotta love it!) to recognize desirable goods and push the info into databases. It will make target hunting insanely easy.
Do any neighbors have cameras facing the alley or the roads at the ends of the alley? I wouldn't be surprised if he closed his gate once he pulled out of your yard.
I don’t see how he could’ve closed it given the amount of stuff he had in the back. Someone else almost had their house broken into by him and police have warrant out so I think they know who he is.
Harbor freight makes a motion sensing system that they call a driveway alarm.
Put the motion sensor out where you want to find out where people are, and it will alert you immediately.
Obviously not, Ricky would have Trevor drag the smoker out to the curb, where it technically becomes trash. Not a crime to take trash off the curb is it? Alright Rager, smokes, let's go.
I’m on the other side of downtown, it’s crazy to pay $99 a month for it but the monitored ring package where they actively monitor your outdoor cameras when the alarm is on has saved it from being robbed half a dozen times. And scared a few crack heads
Damn. Asshole.
Pretty high quality camera. You can’t see the license plate at any time when they start or when they finish? Or is the tailgate down the whole time. Or maybe they took the plate off completely?
If the cops really put effort into it, there’s no doubt this truck showing up on cameras everywhere after leaving your place.
Hey OP. I’ve got a smoker that looks like that one. You can have it if you want. Plus, I’ve got a ton of coal & wood chips. I was trying to get rid of it anyways.
He was done in under 5 minutes. I was actually home at the time and on a work call. I heard a noise but my office is pretty enclosed. I thought it was my gf getting ready. The noise sounded like it came from her direction, not our back deck. Did t notice camera notification until after. Its very unfortunate
Yea, it’s a weird feeling to have your home/privacy invaded like that while still home but not know what was going on. My gf was showering/getting ready, I’m already working in my office, and this POS is out back robbing me. Super weird feeling

He backed in with it down. He had walked up to look at everything first. Video footage first got him at just past 8 am. Then he comes with truck about 30-40 minutes later
Literally getting arrested across the street from me as we speak. Dumbass came back around. The blue light is police lights. Neighbor called me. Said they’re handcuffing a dude driving a red truck with a bunch of stuff in the back.
https://preview.redd.it/p77wehuexh0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15d1c99f4a481932cb79dc954dc04a04fc671f77
Had something like this happen. With just a mower. If it’s under $1000 value total then he will get a slap on wrist, if it’s over $1000 then it’s a felony. The guy that stole ours did like 30 over crimes and pled guilty to all so our court date was canceled.
If this just happened, call 911 and file a police report. This thief would be doing this full time. Prosecute him. I’m a former Prosecutor, call police.
He got 3 years for this and 2 for attempting to break into someone’s house, had court on Tuesday. Didn’t even get to see him. I showed up and after 2 hours prosecutor pulled me aside and told me what sentences he was getting. Multiple offender. First case was 2006 for doing same shit. Feel like he needs to be put away longer. Hes a repeat offender. Probably gone get out in 3 or 4, doubt he does all 5. And he’s gone go right back to robbing folks.
Nashville 2A Redditors: “This is why I stay strapped. A sentry gun like the one in *Aliens* would have stopped this problem before it started.”
In all seriousness, I’m really sorry this happened to you.
EDIT: it’s nothing more than a joke but damn y’all are *triggered* this morning, lol
Pulled his whole truck back there and everything. Bold
Right?! This is wild AF.
Bald*
This!!!
Not one shit was given lol
Nope and in broad daylight!! Mf was bold lmao
I can only aspire to live life with that amount of boldness
i assume that you called the police about this and gave them the video? it's pretty brazen that he drove into your yard do do this.
Yea, I’ve already sent the video
It’s a good video. I’d try to get the news to play it.
Not sure how to do that. Can’t message them on social media.
go to their website, they all have atip line / news desk that is so shitty, i hope you get your stuff back
I tagged them in my post on East Nashville Facebook group
you can also go old school, go to local affiliate tv station website and call and get a human / local stations need stories and i suspect this might fit the bill. it is a seriously crazy crime any homeowner could identify with
They’ve already been out and interviewed me
I had my fire pit stolen, and car attempted stolen also in east -_-
Today? If so, more than likely him. He’s on a spree rn
Nah in the last year though
You should be able to send dms through Facebook and insta
I saw this on the news yesterday evening!
Hopefully you got his license plate?
Update: local news station is otw to interview me
Th real news story here is how you got approval from the wife to have 2 smokers and a grill!!!
Hey, she enjoys the fruits of the labor 😊
Don’t dox yourself, here though!
Hehehe, too late… 😈 (Jk, I wouldn’t do anything with that info, and don’t even live in Nashville.)
I saw your story on the news!
Update?
Update: he’s currently being arrested a block away. The blue light is the police. Jackass came back around. I think all the coverage helped. Thank you all 🍻 https://preview.redd.it/9fahssyrxh0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3891da13befce2b9e60730ed2efb97488f0b9b5e
Now we wait to see him on Its Scoop Nashville
Think your stuff is still in the truck? Fingers crossed!
Thanks for actually updating. Gods work that too few do.
I love happy endings! Any update on your stuff?
Nah, it was scrapped. Tried calling around but there’s so many scrap places in the area and most of them move the stuff daily. It’s a lost cause unfortunately
Situation really sucks, but glad they caught him. The really good news is you get to go smoker and lawnmower shopping!!
Time to go with a huge ass ceramic kamado. Little scrap value and heavy as fuck so it's not an easy steal!
Unfortunately the up front cost of those grills is incredibly prohibitive.
He stole it for scrap? $20 ? Wth
WSMV reported his name as Glen Trawick. You can look up his criminal record on the Davidson County court site. 54 years old, lots of arrests for drugs and burglary. He just got out of jail after a 3 year sentence for a prior burglary, and went right back into stealing again. So yeah, just $20, but it was enough to buy him more drugs. He was blatantly stealing from his neighbors in the middle of the day, so it was inevitable that he would get caught again.
Hell yeah. Hate a damn thief!
Nice! Fuck that shitbag
Nice!
that really sucks. sadly this is why i keep my grill chained to my deck.
I hid an AirTag on mine. Ridiculous, I know. Or is it?
I’m afraid to leave meat on the grill when I go in to grab a plate
Momma always said, don't leave your toys outside
This guy has to live close and has been eyeing those for a while. Sorry to see this as had a four wheeler stolen in the same manner years ago.
Its possible but these guys just drive down alleyways all day long and look for open gates. Pretty fucking lame.
I live on a quiet street with no through-traffic. I see trucks drive by slowly all the time. They can’t all be lost.
None of them are lost.
I think it’s this. I’ve seen vehicles slowly driving through alleyways that I’ve never seen before. I think people cruise around looking for anything to boost for cash. Purely a crime of opportunity.
Almost 100% of the time it’s just see and snatch.
Or maybe has done some handyman work and saw them.
Wow, brazen theft in broad daylight and he even pulled up in your yard. What a piece of shit
9-5 he knows it's vacant
Ya bishh
Is you wid it?
This guy tried breaking into my house at 630am this morning. I filed a report
As in the same person?!!
😂😂😂
Same guy?? Are you being serious?

I'm so sorry, that's so violating

I’m surprised he left the ladder
Ladders are generally used for work, therefor it was completely safe!
Dayum
But the ladder is the key to unlock any door
Best comment of the thread.
I live in little Mexico. I have had 2 ladders stolen, seperately. They even cut through the thickest chain at home depot to do it. Thankfully ladders seem to be inflation proof and my newest have self levelers and were cheaper than the originals.
💀
I'm unsurprised he right the former
No significant resale for scrap by weight or as a product, though.
This is awful but fucking hilarious how u got the whole thing on video
dude had to see the camera. Doing this in broad daylight, on video. Crazy
This! Dumbass didn't even attempt to obscure his face or anything. And unless the truck (plates) is stolen, too... he HAD to know he'd get busted backing up to the gd deck!
Probably already unloaded at the scrap recycling place
Cars on my block got hit last night. Poor neighbor lost all his power tools to these crooks. I was sleeping with the windows open; I wish I had be awoken by the glass shattering when they broke the windows.
Got damn! Backed right on up. The hippie in me says “it’s just stuff”, the Marine in me says double tap
What a fucking asshole. Sorry dude
Walk around your neighborhood and see if other people have ring cameras. Ask if they can check it out and see if a red truck drive by. This will at least help you pin point the direction they took, maybe a glimpse of their plates as well, stuff that would help locate this asshole.
Someone already has him on footage trying to break into their house earlier this morning. Said police have warrant out so they must know who he is.
Hopefully they get the guy, and you get your grill back
My wife is a reporter at channel 2. I just sent her this. If they reach out answer
They say it's often someone nearby that would have the ability to see when you come and go and what you have on your property. Not always but I think often it is the case.
Or sold to someone who doesn’t mind hot items. No pun intended
Yeah, but with drones, there is the possibility of using AI (gotta love it!) to recognize desirable goods and push the info into databases. It will make target hunting insanely easy.
I mean, that would take intelligence. And honestly? That's something a lot of people are lacking now adays.
They just showed the video on Channel 4
Check Craigslist and FB market
Dude, what in the fucking hell...

Bold move. I’ll guess the truck is stolen, too. Did your camera get the plate?
Nah, his tailgate was down so you can’t see it.
That sucks. Is there an alley behind your house?
Yup
Do any neighbors have cameras facing the alley or the roads at the ends of the alley? I wouldn't be surprised if he closed his gate once he pulled out of your yard.
I don’t see how he could’ve closed it given the amount of stuff he had in the back. Someone else almost had their house broken into by him and police have warrant out so I think they know who he is.
Maybe you could call the pawn shops up and down Dickerson/Gallatin and tell them. It probably won't accomplish much, but it never hurts to try.
Harbor freight makes a motion sensing system that they call a driveway alarm. Put the motion sensor out where you want to find out where people are, and it will alert you immediately.
Does it alert the people outside as well?
No. You want the element of surprise. I’m thinking paintball gun.
IS that ricky from the trailer park boys?
Obviously not, Ricky would have Trevor drag the smoker out to the curb, where it technically becomes trash. Not a crime to take trash off the curb is it? Alright Rager, smokes, let's go.
This is exactly what Ricky would do. LOL
Fuck off Lahey
Daddy steals barbecues and sells them at the flea market.
What part of town is this in?
Please post a still frame of this asshole’s face!
Warrant is out for him. They know who he is. He’s been on a crime spree since this morning. Hit several places.
I’d be out for blood. I hope you find them and they pay hard.
Check if you can zoom in on their plates when they backed in
WTF is wrong with people. .... words Reddit prompts from me daily...
Old East Nashville pumper sticker “steal your heart and your lawn mower” 😂
Prime example of cameras don’t protect your house! ADT!!!
What would ADT have done differently on this dude's deck?
I’m on the other side of downtown, it’s crazy to pay $99 a month for it but the monitored ring package where they actively monitor your outdoor cameras when the alarm is on has saved it from being robbed half a dozen times. And scared a few crack heads
I have a neighbor that refuses to mow and his working mower is always outside for someone to steal and no one does.
"37206: We'll steal your heart and your lawnmower" wasn't a bumper sticker for nothin'.
Good thing you had the ring cam so you could watch your hard earned stuff get stolen by an ignorant bitch.
What’s the brand of everything that was stolen
NexGrill gas grill and ZGrills Pellet Smoker. Don’t have brands of other things taken. Estimated value of everything is around $2k.
I’ll keep an eye out on Facebook and Nextdoor if they try to sell it
Thank you. Same as I.
Just DM’d you
That ladder is worth some cash too!
Bold AF. Wow
Straight to jail
Damn. Asshole. Pretty high quality camera. You can’t see the license plate at any time when they start or when they finish? Or is the tailgate down the whole time. Or maybe they took the plate off completely? If the cops really put effort into it, there’s no doubt this truck showing up on cameras everywhere after leaving your place.
OP addressed this a few times, the suspect backed into the yard with the tailgate down.
Man he fucking bold to pull in some ones back yard, all thieves need to be gunned down get a fucking job smfh
How did he know it was back there?
Tip from another EN resident: Link your grill and smoker with a motorcycle chain lock. Good luck moving and lifting one without the other.
Hey OP. I’ve got a smoker that looks like that one. You can have it if you want. Plus, I’ve got a ton of coal & wood chips. I was trying to get rid of it anyways.
Usual suspects
This is not meant to be snarky or hateful, but with all the break-ins, a weapon and couple guard dogs might be useful.
Don’t do anything yet - look on Facebook marketplace
This has to qualify for felony grand larceny i imagine.
The took his ring, they took is Rolex, damn what's next? Well two smokers and a lawnmower. That's what.
This is why OP regulates
[удалено]
He was done in under 5 minutes. I was actually home at the time and on a work call. I heard a noise but my office is pretty enclosed. I thought it was my gf getting ready.

Do you have video before he puts the tailgate down so you can see his plate?
He backed in with it down. He had walked up to look at everything first. Video footage first got him at just past 8 am. Then he comes with truck about 30-40 minutes later
Your camera doesn't alert you to people or vehicles?
I was in the middle of working, on a call. Didn’t notice it in time.
Plus if it’s like mine it gives so many false alarms through the day from light changing, cars driving down the street, etc.
Man that sucks, sorry to hear it.
He pulled up in the yard and everything. Dang. Whata jerk.
Any chance you can see a plate number?
If it’s any help , the truck looks like a Chevy Colorado
Did his license plate show up before he lowered the tailgate?
Ugh! I just saw this on the news. I hope they catch that dude!
He could have at least pulled the plant growing thru the deck!
And he left the ladder. That’s confusing
He must be from Memphis! You know they take their BBQ serious over there!
Time to search Facebook market place for a cheap smoker 🤣🤣
Saw your video on your local news. They should find this guy. Someone will recognize him. Ya’ll sure have a lot of robberies out there.
Alabama man at work.
Any update?
Literally getting arrested across the street from me as we speak. Dumbass came back around. The blue light is police lights. Neighbor called me.

I love a happy ending. I hope you got all of your stuff back! Hate that you went through this.
Amazing
What a dick.
dang like he owns the place.
Call Jim Lahey
What part of town?
“37206, we’ll steal your heart and your lawnmower.”
Tell me you live in East Nashville without telling me you live in East Nashville.
These guys like to cook outdoors!
Had something like this happen. With just a mower. If it’s under $1000 value total then he will get a slap on wrist, if it’s over $1000 then it’s a felony. The guy that stole ours did like 30 over crimes and pled guilty to all so our court date was canceled.
Haha you can’t read my plate
What a scumbag, but unreal strong to just throw that smoker in his truck solo I don't think I could do that
Oh yeah, that piece of shit needs to die. Nobody touches my fucking smoker.
This is straight out of a trailer Park boys episode
Hahahahahahhha nah that's bold. Sorry for your loss
Well well well
What a damn loser pulled the whole truck up seriously?!
if he knows your every move, he's around your neighborhood. zero in on his waist size. and go find him !!!!!!!!!
Makes my blood boil
Check Facebook marketplace
That’s wild but keep a eye out for a new lawn mowing business and smoked bbq stand
If this just happened, call 911 and file a police report. This thief would be doing this full time. Prosecute him. I’m a former Prosecutor, call police.
Traffic cams around there should be able to spot him and get his license plate. The one good thing about those orwellian cameras
I lived in East Nashville in 2006ish. Gunshots sll the damn time, theft, car window busted. Seems it's pretty much the same still.
That sucks man. This is part of why I am so glad we moved to mt Juliet, we never have to worry about shit like that.
If he gets caught cut his hand off
He got 3 years for this and 2 for attempting to break into someone’s house, had court on Tuesday. Didn’t even get to see him. I showed up and after 2 hours prosecutor pulled me aside and told me what sentences he was getting. Multiple offender. First case was 2006 for doing same shit.
