I still have 2 spots open on our Adventure Filmmaking Sailing trip in two months! I'd love to have you apply if your are interested left.ly/sailing2024
That guy buys stolen computers. He would have taken yours apart for parts or made a new one out of it but bet your ass he knew exactly what he was doing and you are lucky you went there as soon as it was pinged. I'm glad you got it back, but I would have called the cops and not PAID HIM SHIT! He knowingly bought stolen item. He's no good. Glad you got it back.
About your bike. As someone who has a few ebikes and seen other's get stolen I can't suggest you getting GPS trackers for your bike enough when you get/build another. And get more than one for redundancy. Of differing companies like an Apple and a Samsung for eg. GPS tags can give phones a warning they're being followed but if you have two and they get the warning and find one GPS tag they'll most likely think subsequent warnings are the old tag still. Also I can't suggest ebike insurance enough. Mine is 75ish a year and it's fully covered even ebike rental and if I hurt someone while riding or damage something while riding. I use Oyster but all big companies have ebike insurance now. If you live in a high crime area it might be more expensive though. I live in Maine which is the safest state in the US and then not near a city so that helps. So your quote might be more than mine. GL and stay vigilant. I could talk for days about security like this. Also, covering your bike has been shown in a(iirc London area)study to curb bike theft. I think the idea is if they don't know what is under it for easy checking out they will move to an easier target. IDK but it's something to remember.
THANK YOU for saying you need a new space. You should not be living your life in constant fear of safety and privacy (for yourself or others). Go build out another shipping container or something. SO happy you found it!
Riveting storytelling, and a GREAT video! Sorry this happened to you. I had LoJack on my laptop when it was stolen in Vegas in 2012. Two months later, the guy took it out of his closet to check it and try to sell it, and I got a message from LoJack that they had contacted the police with the location of the computer. The Vegas police are VERY serious about grand theft from visitors, so they started surveillance, and about two weeks later, the detectives called and had my computer AND all the VO stuff I had in my bag - about $5k worth, and the guy went to prison for 15 years (he had other outstanding warrants). LoJack is some of the best money I've ever spent. And you're right...the feeling of relief when you get your stuff back, is indescribable.
my toxic trait is I would've stormed over to Darryl asked one question and if it wasn't the answer, Darryl would've got assaulted... Cheers for keeping your cool!
Glad it came back to you... frustrating that the culprit is probably doing the exact same thing to unsuspecting victims as we speak who wont find their valuables again.
Wow Levi! First off: Congratulations for getting your Macbook back! But beyond that, you made such a good movie out of this. The storytelling, the music. I could feel the tension throughout the whole video. The retention graph for this video must be insane!
The timing of that is absolutely wild! Without the security footage your brain would have been in a blender. So glad you got it back!!! Hope you can find a better office space soon 🤓
So glad you got your computer back Levi! And per usual….great story telling. Had me at the edge of my seat (well, bed…haven’t gotten up yet) 🤣 Cheers!🥂
Wild video ! Congrats for having your laptop back ! I live here in Calgary and the security is also an issue in many buildings . Hopefully you find a safer place for the next studio
Eh, that shop owner sketchy af. He knowingly bought a stolen laptop, knew the find my laptop was activated, probably knew he was busted at that point, and then has you buy it back...WTF.
in my mind, he was getting the laptop away from the thief for the smallest amount possible, knowing that the owner will surely be willing to reimburse him -- he is in essence doing what Levi wanted to offer the thief, just the shop owner had more leverage, and likely got Levi a better "deal"
I love that you shared this. I recently had my backpack stolen from my car when I was at a shoot. My wallet and my mic were stolen so I totally sympathathize with your story
Had a similar shock with my ebike stolen before 8am also in a split second. Managed to get it back through a similar lucky sequence pf events. Glad you got it back, that would not be nice to replace.
I feel you brother. Got my laptop stolen twice (plus gear) so I know the feeling! Never found them again though so I can just imagine de happiness you must've felt, haha. Awesome vid.
I had some gear stolen out of my rental car a few weeks ago and while the bulk of it remains gone forever the thief was dumb enough to post some on Facebook marketplace the next day and my hands weee shaking when he grabbed a camera case I hadn’t even realized was stolen yet to take out my stolen cameras. Once I had them in my hand I told him his story of ownership was BS because they were stolen and walked away. Adrenaline was all time high lol.
So much of this resonates with me. I had £20k of camera gear stolen from the back seat of my car in London. I learnt the lesson the hard way that kit on the back seats isn't insured, it has to be in the boot with a cover over the top. Luckily my Mac pinged its location and I eventually got that back (I went through the same rollercoaster of emotions watching it on 'find my'). I eventaully saw some CCTV of the thiefs distributing my kit to other people coming and going in cars, so that was all long gone (along with all the footage i'd shot that day). Glad you managed to get your Mac back, what a great feeling 🙌
This video was so great! I had my phone stolen out of my pocket last year and it just feels so horrible to lose something like that. I hadn’t backed it up to the cloud in a year so I lost all of my photos and videos. It was really just a sickening feeling. I never recovered my stuff but it feels good to see a success story. Made me feel so much happier for you like your victory was mine as well. I wouldn’t have been able to let the guy go though. I have to imagine that computer shop has security cameras inside and the footage would surely reveal the face of the guy with your laptop and if he is indeed the same guy that the other people identified then you should have a very clear case to take legal action against the guy.
So glad you got it back. I know that area well and I would look for a studio space on the south side of the overpass. You were very lucky. Loved this video. ❤
I had a similar situation with a phone. What a feeling it is when your detective work pans out. Thanks for sharing. You brought that feeling back to me! Glad you found it!
Man, what a rollercoaster this was to watch! Sorry this happened to you. Glad you got it back! Good luck finding a new (hopefully more secure) space! 👊🏼
As someone who had vintage bikes stolen and turn up in East Van "market place" on two separate occasions I found this an emotional watch haha. I should mention the second time involved a sting operation with undercover cops and multiple phone calls between myself and the thief...both times I got the bikes back due to outside parties getting involved and wanting to help (hope for humanity) congrats Levi! Glad you got it back and I know its hard for people to understand the euphoria when you get something back thats been stolen...Peter (now living in Ireland! as I got fed up of the DT eastside lol)
Oh my god - dude this was chilling and I was on the edge of my seat! I have a similar space where I create content for brands and this exact thing could happen to us, so I’ll be extra vigilant after this! Appreciate the awareness man. Glad you got it back! That shop guy was sketchy 😂
My heart was racing throughout this video! It’s a horrible feeling, I don’t know why I kept watching it. I had to buy back stolen musical instruments and camera lenses from 4 pawn shops (US). Essentially the law allows them to charge what they paid for the items, but only if you have a police order. It’s a bummer. Good news is the police found them within 24 hours and identify the pawnshop and thief. I don’t recall the details but they use a database to access pawn shop sales. BTW, I think Daryl is sitting on that couch behind the screen - 18:04.
Fantastic storytelling. It must have been so frustrating to live in real life though. Thank you for transforming it into art for us here. P.S. I hope this video gets a million billion views.
Soon as Levi would've suggested calling the cop, that store guy would've handed over that computer. Glad he got it back and also created some good content out of it.
Levi, I have a really funny anecdote for you from my corporate employment days. I often worked in computer training centers owned by a big publicly traded company. One of the centers was a brand new build-out with a centrally managed alarm and entry system so I could call the security desk in California to have them open the doors for me in DC. But!!!! The contractors completely screwed up!! There was a motion sensor which was supposed to unlock the doors automatically when anyone approached the door from the inside. Well, for some bizarre reason, the contractors had placed the sensor OUTSIDE the office! Anyone on that floor in the building who approached our training center would unlock the door by virtue of moving! I am literally laughing out loud remembering my first training class at this beautiful new facility when I discovered this. Predictably, we had an incident in the first or second week in that facility where someone wearing a hoodie, recorded on camera, entered the training facility and walked out with a mini-tower computer which was in the common area of the office suite. I remember getting the door lock contractor into the office and having to demonstrate that moving anywhere near the OUTSIDE of the office would unlock the door!!! You really can't make this stuff up!
Great to see you again Levi, excellent to see succeed in retrieving your computer. I was somehow unsubscribed to your channel. Thankfully still received notifications from the members only portal. Would enjoy liking and commenting on the members only content, but it is disabled. Very best to you and your family👍 Cheers !
Don’t want to jump into conclusions but the shop owner buying a stole laptop makes him part of the crime, specifically because he knew it was stolen. If you didn’t show up he would’ve sold to someone else and get the other guy to continue to bring stolen laptops. Hopefully police will investigate that shop because they prob have a lot of other stolen laptops not just yours
The computer guy could have said he paid $200 and told you that you need to pay $200 but he didn’t do that. Amazing that you were able to track it down.
The computer guy should not have charged anything. He can’t knowingly sell stolen goods, it doesn’t matter if he isn’t the one who stole it, the only owner can take it back with no charge and it’s up to the shop owner to go after the guy who he bought it from. I have no sympathy for the shop owner or what he bought an obviously stolen laptop for.
@@randomguy3281 bro the shop owner knew it was stolen and knew shop owner knew it was tracking and probably he knew that someone is coming to take the laptop otherwise he would have said i bought the laptop for 200/300$ 🤷♂ But he charged the actual prics
Although I’m glad you got your laptop back, PAYING to get it back encourages these types of crimes because there’s a profit, even if it’s 40 bucks! That shop owner guy is a PROBLEM and is willfully involved in illegal activity! Reporting him would not be “making things worse” it will be making things better for others! Criminals don’t care about others or their things, holding them accountable isn’t being a trouble maker, it’s being a peace keeper! The reason is because a lot (if not MOST) criminals are involved in OTHER crimes as well! I’m glad you got your stuff back and I wish you nothing but the best! Great video!
@@Levi_Allen Unless some of us were there with you aren’t all these RUclips comments assumptions? Aren’t we all assuming your story is true and all these things happened just the way you explained them to happen? Aren’t all great stories/movies (like this one) edited with it in mind that the viewer is going to assume things? I encourage you not to assume I am attacking you. You dealt with this situation in a way that you felt was best. Although I don’t agree with SOME of your decisions, I am genuinely happy you got your stuff back. I wish you well. 😃
That computer shop guy was SKETCHY AF. He knew *exactly* what he was doing, he was trying to buy what he knew was a stolen laptop for $40, absolutely unreal. Hilarious that he pretended "oh, screen brightness was low" for his reason as to why he didn't call your number. I guarantee if someone were to do some searching online regarding that shop, they'd find that there were a lot of people who had issues with stolen goods somehow finding their way to that store. Also bro, you should've refused to pay that guy $40 to get your computer back. I know you were just wanting to get it back already, but that was illegal for him to even ask that of you, it was stolen property and he knowingly accepted stolen items.
This it the part of the video that DRIVES ME CRAZY. He finds a pawn shop owner that TAKES Stolen Goods - and PAYS HIM!?? The second I confirmed it was my laptop - the conversation would have ended - I would have walked out of the store and immediately called the cops and went back in with them. This guy will just do this again to someone else!
Thanks for sharing this Levi! Sorry you had to go through this but stoked you got it back for $44! Did a similar thing with my son’s AirPod pros that he left in class. Two days later followed the signal to an apartment building, got in the building and finally saw a ping by the courtyard. When I got outside I saw two kids, I pinged it again and then pulled up the headphones. I walked up and said my son lost them, to which they said they found them by the side of the road and handed them back.
When you have your government telling residents to make auto theft easier on thieves by leaving their keys by the front door...you can expect much more of this to happen.

About your bike. As someone who has a few ebikes and seen other's get stolen I can't suggest you getting GPS trackers for your bike enough when you get/build another. And get more than one for redundancy. Of differing companies like an Apple and a Samsung for eg. GPS tags can give phones a warning they're being followed but if you have two and they get the warning and find one GPS tag they'll most likely think subsequent warnings are the old tag still.

18:05 Him reaching for the laptop again and you pulling it back casually was priceless 😂
So f funny :D
Ridiculous, man. I respect your dedication. I'm so glad you got it back. Sorry to hear you're having a rough go. Things will turn up.
You legend. That officially covers the cost of me buying it back 😂 you can take credit for buying me my stolen computer. thanks for watching!

That computer shop guy was sketchy as fuck.
Did you read some of the signs in the shop? Totally above board 😂
@@Levi_Allen 18:03 😂
@@Levi_Allen Not to mention the "glassware" and torches under the counter. I don't think those are used for soldering circuit boards lol
Stores like that are little more than thinly veiled fronts for stolen goods. Incredibly sketchy, should be investigated for sure.
That guy at the computer store was as shady as the guy who stole it.....
Should have called the cops on him instead of paying that crook
Thanks Daryl for sponsoring todays video 😂 glad you got it back.
That photo of the people going on top of the building is award wining material-
Perfection
Glad it came back to you... frustrating that the culprit is probably doing the exact same thing to unsuspecting victims as we speak who wont find their valuables again.
It's a bummer how effective the technique of just walking into places and taking stuff is
Hope this goes viral for you buddy. Been around since the slack line series. Much love
Glad you got the laptop back. Great video! Best true crime doc I’ve watched in while.
Levi is the most chill dude I've never met. Even when things were down and people were being sketchy, he seemed to stay as positive as possible.
this was better than most of the thriller movies ive watched recently. Go Levi! Glad you got your computer back!
DUDE what a wild ride!! So glad you got it back in the end.
You and me both!
Wow Levi! First off: Congratulations for getting your Macbook back! But beyond that, you made such a good movie out of this. The storytelling, the music. I could feel the tension throughout the whole video. The retention graph for this video must be insane!

amazing. unsolved mysteries downtown chilliwack! computer store dude's service with a smile was wild.

This is just like the Apple Underdogs commercial where her laptop gets swiped and they travel through the city to find it before a big presentation!

Loved the video, you told the story in such a digestible way
also the track to intro Chap. 4 goes hard
Lovely storytelling tension, conflict, building of pressure❤
I had some gear stolen out of my rental car a few weeks ago and while the bulk of it remains gone forever the thief was dumb enough to post some on Facebook marketplace the next day and my hands weee shaking when he grabbed a camera case I hadn’t even realized was stolen yet to take out my stolen cameras. Once I had them in my hand I told him his story of ownership was BS because they were stolen and walked away. Adrenaline was all time high lol.

So much of this resonates with me. I had £20k of camera gear stolen from the back seat of my car in London. I learnt the lesson the hard way that kit on the back seats isn't insured, it has to be in the boot with a cover over the top. Luckily my Mac pinged its location and I eventually got that back (I went through the same rollercoaster of emotions watching it on 'find my').

Aren’t all great stories/movies (like this one) edited with it in mind that the viewer is going to assume things?
I encourage you not to assume I am attacking you. You dealt with this situation in a way that you felt was best. Although I don’t agree with SOME of your decisions, I am genuinely happy you got your stuff back.
I wish you well. 😃
@@sausagelinksys4360 - where did I say you were attacking me? I’m confused
That computer shop guy was SKETCHY AF. He knew *exactly* what he was doing, he was trying to buy what he knew was a stolen laptop for $40, absolutely unreal. Hilarious that he pretended "oh, screen brightness was low" for his reason as to why he didn't call your number. I guarantee if someone were to do some searching online regarding that shop, they'd find that there were a lot of people who had issues with stolen goods somehow finding their way to that store.
Also bro, you should've refused to pay that guy $40 to get your computer back. I know you were just wanting to get it back already, but that was illegal for him to even ask that of you, it was stolen property and he knowingly accepted stolen items.
It’s almost as if I gathered evidence for an ongoing case file 😉
When sushi calls... 😂
Dude, you have a receipt have that guy busted for selling stolen property
This it the part of the video that DRIVES ME CRAZY. He finds a pawn shop owner that TAKES Stolen Goods - and PAYS HIM!?? The second I confirmed it was my laptop - the conversation would have ended - I would have walked out of the store and immediately called the cops and went back in with them. This guy will just do this again to someone else!
Such a crazy story! I’m glad you were able to get it back!
What a rollercoaster of emotions.
it WAS worth my time watching. made a lot of fun tbh :-)
Thanks for sharing this Levi! Sorry you had to go through this but stoked you got it back for $44! Did a similar thing with my son’s AirPod pros that he left in class. Two days later followed the signal to an apartment building, got in the building and finally saw a ping by the courtyard. When I got outside I saw two kids, I pinged it again and then pulled up the headphones. I walked up and said my son lost them, to which they said they found them by the side of the road and handed them back.
Fascinating and fantastic! Congrats!
What a nightmare. Glad you got it back.
I'm glad you got your laptop back, it was anxiety inducing watching the whole thing. Sorry you have a terrible landlord. Glad things worked out.
Same
When you have your government telling residents to make auto theft easier on thieves by leaving their keys by the front door...you can expect much more of this to happen.
WOAH, what a friggin ride that was.
Great story. Glad you got it back.
I'm glad it worked out for you. Great story and told very well as always. 👍
Glad you got the Laptop back! Was one hell of a journey and I can only imagine the horror of having my laptop stolen from me
