1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for calling the cops on

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: my teenage nephew after he robbed his own grandmother with Alzheimer's.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Okayop, this is okayop. I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Frye and we tell you a little funny stories on

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: the internet.

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Samuel, I am curious. Have you ever robbed somebody

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: a gunpoint? It could be a gun point if that

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: was what you did back in the good old day,

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: back in the good old days.

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: Or stolen anything.

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: Back in the eighteen hundreds. I used to hold up

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: every bank on the block. They called me old Sammy

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: quick hands. No I haven't. I haven't held up anyone

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: at good point.

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: What about stolen anything?

16
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: In Australia, I was basically starving and I used to

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: get two for one groceries as what I called it,

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: it's a self checkout, and so I would just scan

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: like every other item. I did not get caught, but

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: my like one of my my roommates did and so

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: he is banned from all of these stores in all

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: of Australia.

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: No, you got scared straight, huh? I did? Yeah?

24
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: And stealing is bad. Stealing is bad. But you know

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: I was a starving college student. Yeah, and you know

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: protein shakes can only take you so far.

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had similar experience. See.

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: My thing is like I had never like done any

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: like petty theft or whatever like before I left home

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: for college. But after I had left home for college,

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: I would like not have a ton of money or

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: negative money and some credit card limit.

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: So what I would do is I would go.

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: To Vonn's or Safeway and get like a granola bar

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: or not a granola but like a cliff bar or

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: something like, something that felt hearty, and I would eat

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: it while I was walking around pretending to look at things.

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, then just leave.

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. So that was my like foray.

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: And now if there's like teeny teeny tiny things, then

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: I'll just take it. If it's if I don't if

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel like like, for instance, I needed a

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: binkie for my Halloween car and I didn't feel like

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: paying seven dollars for a banking and that was the

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: only option, so I just took it.

46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: John is a thief. Guys arrest me.

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't do it often, but every once in a

48
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: while there's a seven dollars binkie that is the only

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: object I need that I will take. But today's story,

50
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: we have someone who did a little bit more than

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: steal a binkie? Am I the a hole for calling

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: the cops on my teenage nephew after he robbed his

53
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: own grandmother with Alzheimer's?

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: Why would you rob your grandmother? She's already having her

55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: memories taken from her. You're gonna take her a belonging.

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: My mom has late stage Alzheimer's and has been unable

57
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: to manage her money and needs around the clock care.

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: It probably would be safer to put her in a

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: nursing home, but she made us promise to only do.

60
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: That as an absolute last resort. This is sad. Thy

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: gets spicy later.

62
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: Down the line, Spicy Grandma, what was she teach him?

63
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: She had a lot of investments in savings from my

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: dad before he passed, so we could hire a professional

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: care in her home.

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: The money that came from dead parents like Bruce Wayne.

67
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: My sister is the one who lives the closest and

68
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: visits often, so she handles my mom's finances. We give

69
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: my sister about two hundred dollars a month for her

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: to run errands, help look after my mom, since we

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: both live out of state. My other sister called me

72
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: to tell me there's been a lot of cash withdraws

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: recently on my mom's card I check and for nearly

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: a year there have been a ton of three hundred

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: to four hundred dollars withdraws, so like constantly throughout the

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: year there have been like withdrawals every time three to

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars. We call my sister who's handling the finances,

78
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: and she is also confused and says she never takes

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: out cash. She only pays bills with the bank card

80
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: and uses the credit card for groceries, et cetera, So

81
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: she never uses the ATM to withdraw. She freezes the

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: bank card and I take a red Eye flight over.

83
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Long story short, we asked the bank where the ATM

84
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: withdrawals were happening. My sister was shocked when she googled

85
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: the location, she found out that it was right next

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to her son's school.

87
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: What yep, No, her son is him from Grandma?

88
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Dude?

89
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Don't do it, nephew. Respectfully, we waited until the sun

90
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: got home, and.

91
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: Then we confronted him.

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Asked him where he worked, and he said a local restaurant.

93
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: We said, hey, we would love to go with you

94
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: to the restaurant to confirm that he worked there, and

95
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: he got really really panicked and said, uh, the.

96
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: Management has changed, so they wouldn't know who I am.

97
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Oh, sounds like he's totally innocent.

98
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: So innocent this guy.

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: I asked him then for his paycheck, and he finally

100
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: finally gives in and admits he doesn't have a job.

101
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: I wonder where he's been getting that money.

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: My sister asked.

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: Him where the money for the new stuff he bought

104
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: comes from, and then he finally broke down and he said, yes,

105
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I've been stealing the bank card to make cash with.

106
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: Draws from my own grandmother's bank.

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: Account, and I don't even feel bad about it.

108
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Then I asked him where did he even get the

109
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: pin for the bank card. Then my sister piped up

110
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: and confessed she writes her pins on sticky notes so

111
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: she doesn't forget them.

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh see this is you know, like like, obviously the

113
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: sun is terrible for stealing his grandma's crap. But uh,

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: but you got to you gotta practice some safe security.

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: You know, you can't just write down your pins everywhere,

116
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, for the whole world to see.

117
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: I take the big statements and I calculate that he

118
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: owes all whopping fourteen thousand and three hundred and eight dollars,

119
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand dollars. He's stolen over fourteen thousand dollars. Bro,

120
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: What is he buying when Jordan's Are you getting bro?

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: At this point, I laid down the law. I told

122
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: him he has to pay it back.

123
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: Now.

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: I am going to file a police report on him

125
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: for theft.

126
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: Wow, really laying down the low Good for you.

127
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: At this point, my sister begs me not to, saying

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: if he has anything on his record, he might not

129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: get into college.

130
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, I should have thought about that before he

131
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: take advantage of grandma's.

132
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: I told her I won't if she pays it, but

133
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: she said she's struggling and doesn't really have the money.

134
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: She's a single mother.

135
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I told her that isn't good enough, and she complains

136
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: her son is only sixteen years old and he doesn't

137
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: know any better. That works if he stole like twenty dollars.

138
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I told her they won't put a sixteen year old

139
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: in jail, but he might do it again when he's older.

140
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: So it's much better for him to learn his lesson now.

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: She said, we could just take it out of her

142
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: son's inheritance that would be coming from his grandmother.

143
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: And I yell at her that.

144
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: If our mom was in a state to judge, she

145
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: would write him out of her will for this. Call

146
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: my lawyer and I ask what I should do, and

147
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: he suggests filing a police report, but not including my

148
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: nephew's name just yet.

149
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: I did just that.

150
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I filed the police reports, and my sister is screamed

151
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: at me that I ruined her son's life by involving

152
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the police, and he's only a kid.

153
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm not happy about it.

154
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: But at sixteen, if he's stealing from his own grandmother

155
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: with Alzheimer's, who look at who looked after him when

156
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: his own mother was sick, I can't imagine what he's

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna do when he's older.

158
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: Curb that behavior now before it gets any worse. I

159
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: feel like that kid ain't raised right, you know, not

160
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160
