Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott vorgiez some interesting crime stories here in the Omaha metro,
including story from WOWT First Alert six. Several homeowners in
North Omaha. You know how on the side of the
house you have an air conditioning unit, a big, heavy
air conditioning unit. It's attached to the house through a
(00:22):
series of tubes and cables and wires, and it's it's
a big, heavy unit out there in a concrete slab
just outside your house. You know how A lot of
people have that. A few yet, Yeah, there are fewer
people have that in North Omaha. They're waking up, going
is it a little warmer in here? And then like
one of their neighbors comes over and says, hey, I
(00:44):
thought i'd let you know because I've had to do
this from my neighbor occasionally. He's got a crew that
comes over in Moses Lawn and even though his lawn
isn't all that big, they come out there with the
big writing lawnmowers. And I think it's only because it's fun.
You know. It's one of those things you kind of
stand behind and you ride it like a jet ski,
(01:05):
and like, well, I'm not gonna not do that just
because I can't fit it through the space between this
guy's neighbor's fence and this guy's air conditioning unit. So
this crew is constantly banging into his unit, banging into
his air conditioning unit and knocking it off the concrete slab.
So then I gotta go over because I'm not going
(01:25):
to touch the guy's unit. Can't help myself. So I
go over and say, hey man, you're your air conditioner's
been knocked off the slab. He says thanks and then
does nothing about it. But at least I did my
neighborly duty and telling him, well, it's kind of like that,
except they come over and go, hey man, your air
conditioning unit is gone. It's just exposed wires and tubes
(01:50):
on the side of your house. People are coming in
and they're stealing people's air conditioning units in North Omaha.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Do we know why.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, because all the the metal and the copper and
all the other stuff that they can sell the salvage yards.
Now the police say, well, we check with the salvage
yards to see if some people are coming in there
and selling air conditioning. Who's like, yeah, I got a
new air conditioning unit. And rather than you know, allow
(02:20):
the company that gave me the new unit to take
it away. I thought maybe I'd just throw it in
the back of my Honda cord and just bring it
down here. It's barely hanging on by a bungee cord.
And even though it looks all beat up like some
guys just like I know, it looks like I just
kind of wrestled it into the back of my trunk
and dragged it down here. But no, it's all totally
(02:41):
in the up and up. I was hoping i'd get
some money for some of the copper wiring and other
material and stuff that's in here. And obviously the reason
why this is happening is because there's someone on the
black market who's buying this stuff without going through the
legitimate salvage yards. But they're checking with the legitimate salvage yards,
(03:03):
going you see anything interesting in here, Like we're a
salvage yard. Everything is interesting that comes through here. Every
single day. People are like, I got a kid's tricycle.
Can I get any money for that? No, but thanks
for stopping by. So police say they're trying to catch
these guys. In the meantime, they're telling people, you know,
(03:26):
it might not be a bad idea to put a
emotion sensor light on your air conditioning unit. That way
thief comes over there in the middle of the night,
under cover of dark and comes up next to your
air conditioning unit and starts loudly hacking or sawing away
at that or maybe they know how to disconnect the thing.
(03:49):
I don't know, and then the motion sensor light comes
on floods them in a spotlight. They're like, hhh, like cockroaches,
what do I do? And they run underneath the refrigerator
or under the baseball words. So that's the idea, except
there's something in this story that says, here's one of
the neighbors that tells the reporter for WWT. They said, yeah,
(04:10):
they stole my air conditioning unit right in broad daylight
the middle of the.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Afternoon, so a light wouldn't help them.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
A light wouldn't help them, in which case police are like,
get one of those motion sensor lights that covers them
in shadow. It'll confuse them. I don't know. If if
they're doing it in the middle of the night, you
flood them with light. If they're doing it in the
middle of the day, you flood them with dark. Goodness,
gracious do. I have to think of everything, so.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I don't think that would work. But okay, I.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Would freak out. I'd be like, is there an eclipse? Suddenly?
It just got really suddenly, it just got really really dark. Yeah,
here's another thing. You can do. Take a couple of
days off in that neighborhood and hang out by your
air conditioning unit surreptitiously, maybe in a book and a
nearby tree with a high powered rifle.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And I don't think that's allowed work on.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Your it's allowed to. You're telling me I can't secretly
be in my own tree with a high powered rifle.
Now there's questions as to whether or not I can
shoot it, but it all goes well. You won't have to.
Here's the way this is supposed to work. You are
now in some sort of criminal blind in a nearby
tree or bush, and here comes a criminal to take
(05:30):
your air conditioning unit. They're on your property, and you've
got to work on your like your line as they is.
They hear I recommend a shotgun just for that pump
action sound, because that'll make a criminal absolutely soil himself.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Just yeah, this sound is great. Yeah, And then they turn.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Around and they've got a barrel of your gun pointed
at them, and that's when you deliver your line, and
you gotta say it. I don't know if you want
to go dirty Harry or Liam Neeson, but it's got
to be in a low, gravelly voice. It doesn't work
if you're like, hey, mister knocking, all right, we're not
gonna do that again. You know, you gotta do like
I see you're about to take my air conditioner. Maybe
(06:17):
I'll turn up the heat pump action shotgun.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's so bad. That was That
was one of those things that was so bad that
it just kind of starts to swing back around and
it was actually good.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah. I mean it's gotta be short. That might even
be a little bit long, because the idea is is
that the guy stands there and waits for you to
deliver the line, and you're like, I see you're about
to take my air conditioning. Oh man, I'm so sorry, Like,
let me finish the line. I've been working on this
all day.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Is this with or without Batman ears? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You could definitely go Christian Bale Batman on it. I
can't hear you, I can't understand you. Why why is
it so much more difficult to understand you in the
third movie than the first one.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
The mask was too tight.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, maybe come at him with one of those Baane masks.
If we're gonna go Batman, Well, Batman, I see you're
gonna take my air conditioning unit. Maybe you think that's cool, Batman,
that's Baine.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Did you just come up with that line?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Who are you? And what have you done with? Scott wore?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So nice to meet you. I keep saying that they
can deliver the Marconi right here to the radio station.
They don't need my home address. I mean, you can
deliver it right to the radio station. I'm here most
of the day anyway, and anytime you can drop it
off or you can mail it, someone will sign for it.
Just send it right on over.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But is that come with a cash award?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't know. I'm gonna sell it at the scrap okay,
scrap heap salvage yard conditioner, Yeah, along with your air conditioning. Yeah.
I wonder what idiots are like. I got a great
idea right here before summer, I'm gonna sell my own
air conditioning unit. I'm gonna steal my own air conditioning
unit and sell it, and then in July you're like.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I was a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I got forty for the copper inside of it, and
I'm sweating my off So, yeah, I this is crazy.
So people are like building like fences and bolting down
the frame and locking the wiring box. How about this.
Stop stealing things that don't belong to you.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Thieves are terrible people.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, and then you had and then you had this
crime someplace else in Omaha a couple of weeks ago.
We're just learning about Lucy. You were probably there when
it happened. I'll tell you. I'll tell you about it.
You don't even know. You don't you don't even know
whether you should be offended. You don't even know whether
you should be offended. We'll find out next email Scott
(09:01):
at kfab dot com says, hook up one of those
electric cattle fence chargers to it. I don't know whether
I can say that's a great idea for legality's sake.
So we'll just put it out there and then move on.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You know what else? You know what it is though?
What most traps?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, putting straps on a bunch of them. Yeah, it's
not a bad idea everywhere. Yeah, Omaha police are also
investigating a middle of the night strong armed robbery at
the twenty four hour adult lingerie and novelty store Doctor
John's over by the Ranch Bowl. I know the Ranch
Bull hadn't been there a long time, but so seventy
(09:40):
second and Pine happened at three point thirty in the morning.
Two guys walk in there, started beating up the clerk
and just taking I don't know, bags and bags of dials.
I don't know what they stole there. But Lucy, were
you there at the time. Lucy is a model in
the store window at Doctor John's on a But yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Actually I was over at the pipeline having a cocktail.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, yeah, that's what a lot of people say. So
these guys go in there and they grabbed all the
money and everything they could. I just loved the idea
that it's a I didn't realize it was a twenty
four hour Can you just make it like a nighttime thing?
Is twenty four hour? Are there people at six thirty
in the morning on their way to work going gotta
stop and get a ballgag? Are there? I don't know
