Glad to see nothing has changed in the world of safety since 1994. I still wrap my wallet in three layers of thick rubber bands. Takes me a few extra minutes to pay at Trader Joe's but at least no one can steal my wallet and immediately open it in front of me!
"Quick! Open your wallet and give me all the cash" "Oh just give me a minute, I was going for the world record for rubber band balls with it as a base"
No to rain on everyone's memes but the rubber band thing was to deter pickpockets, as the rubber band was supposed to make the wallet harder to remove.
Lol the point is though that criminals have in their mind how a robbery should go and if you do something like this to throw them off-script they will usually panic and bail.

The robbery random encounter is only triggered when you approach the ATM. If you use the quicksave glitch to clip through the walls of the bank furthest from the ATM, you'll be able to access the safety deposit boxes without triggering the encounter. These are usually safe, non-respawning containers, unless you're using the buggy 2008 patch for the U.S. economy.
About calling the police when going out of town - I lived in a REALLY sketchy part of town. To the point, where I had called the non emergent line to get the teens from banging on my door and waiting on my porch step after 9pm waiting for me. Once I was going on a six day trip and had cameras up. But I wasn't already paranoid enough, so I called the non emergent line and they had a patrol car drive by like twice while I was away. It made me feel a little better that if something happened there was a report that I tried to have it protected.
It’s funny because the video never showed an infant being robbed. The video was made in 1994, *for people living in 1994.* What? Did you come out the womb at the ripe ‘ol age of 35? I was born in 1994 and I don’t recall sh*t because I was a *baby.* Those robbers must’ve stolen my memory.
@@linkskywalker5417 Possibly, but you might wanna ask the Ancient Greeks that question first. Oh, and while you’re at it... can you also ask the Egyptians why you look just like your Mother’s Brother?
I work as a security guard. “Maintain adequate lighting” is SUPER important. Easily one of the best things you can do to keep your shit from getting stolen. It doesn’t matter if it involves pestering your city to fix the broken streetlight outside your home or getting some motion activated flood lights. If the criminal can get into your home or business and get away I’m the dark then they are more likely to try. Both home and businesses should follow this advice

The advice for being followed is way simpler. Take odd routes rather than a direct route. If the car keeps with you than it isn't just coincidence anymore as no one is going to take a bunch of unnecessary turns just like you unless they are following you.
Yep. And if they're still following you, start driving to a police station and phone them ahead of time to let them know you're being followed and will arrive shortly.
Another trick I've heard, along the same lines as the "odd route," is to drive all the way around the block until you're back where you started from. If someone isn't following you, they'll break off at some point before you complete the full circle.

The "Comply and give up your belongings" thing makes me laugh because when someone tried to rob me a few years ago while I was walking home from work, I said no, they pulled out a weapon (I live in Australia, so, not a gun, I'm not sure what though.), And I booked it back towards work, but the person trying to rob me was so confused when I said no that they didn't know how to respond, lol.

I got suckered in with the last ad he did for them and now I have trust issues. At least they honored their 100% satisfaction guaranteed offer. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the boxes of trash cereal I can barely stomach without contributing to rampant food waste...
I am reminded of an old Discovery Channel show called It Takes A Thief, where these two former burglars did mock break-ins at people's homes, then gave the "victims" a total home security makeover. This always included an alrm system, and at least one safe, usually by a company called Gardall.
These were the "duck and cover" of the 80s-90s. Most thefts, assaults, and murders are likely to be committed by family members or people you know. But knowing what to do when a stranger in a polo shirt attacks makes us feel safer.
@@Arbiter099 just the other day my douchebag cousin left a dirty bomb in a thermos at my front door, so I immediately lobbed a water balloon filled with VX at his trick ass yes, technically, it wasn’t a thermonuclear exchange, and I retaliated with narrow-scale chemical warfare, but I’m not interested in collateral damage, okay?
This also, added with the fear of violent crime going up while violent crime statistics in general dip with police failing to do their job causing white and other privileged people who own homes in the suburbs more paranoid. They can start the whole "there goes the neighborhood" thing again because apparently in America, a real country, you can't have anything without a little racism.
Not really. Most thefts are small pickpockets and shoplifting that have nothing to do with your relatives or acquaintances. And contrary to what video says, they happen in crowded places where it's much easier to blend with the others and hide yourself from the victim. Most murders and physical assaults are a result of spontaneous disagreements between strangers taken too far (gang violence, fights after road accidents, in bars, during protests etc).
I'm wondering if Ian would have fun with the instructional tape about fire safety from the 80s that was made by, I think, the Seattle or New York fire department and McDonald's.
@@RetropixleDS So my understanding is two-fold. The first part is that if memory serves, Ian hit a bit of burnout after the lack of success with Televoid compared to the food videos (mainly due to the yt algorithm) and felt a need of a change of content and then didn't know what to do with televoid. Pretty sure he mentioned this on a Nancy Drew or Bully VOD. The second point is that televoid episode 6 (the party one) was in itself a fine conclusion: One where Ian finally escaped the televoid realm and joined us back in ours seamlessly.
The shrub thing is interesting. I remember watching something some time ago and they talked about how it was good to have shrubs or rose bushes under low windows to deter people from trying to climb in.
I'm always interested in these old things. Especially those old drive-in style ads you run before your streams. Good to see old things from past eras come to the present from time to time.
A lot of these are actually pretty good tips though lol.and you can absolutely notify the local authorities if you will be away from home for an extended period of time. They're even willing to do check ups on the property during your time away to make sure it hasn't been broken into
brutalmoose is the only channel where I stick around for the sponsored segments, he and his Wizard Editing make these amusing regardless of what is being sold.
That guy wasn’t just randomly running up with a gun to someone just holding out a wallet, it was a scheduled theft. He called first and told the victim to be waiting at their door with their wallet ready, and he’ll be there at 5:30 to steal it. So now you can see that it was very convenient and helpful.
Fun story, a friend and her abusive ex used to get into fights about keeping their blinds closed. He had a lot of video games on display and she would argue that they should keep the blinds drawn so as not to potentially be robbed. Well cut to about a year after they break up and guess who got 4000$ worth of stuff stolen
@@couchmaster3773 Dude, burglars are not just staring into people's windows looking to see whether or not there's anything to steal. The majority of criminals are smart enough not to do that, and the ones that aren't get caught pretty quickly.
The weird seat belt is the old automatic kind. The part she buckled in is usually always attached to the buckle and it moves forward along the door frame when you open the door. There's also a lap belt. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those!
"It's not a tape you would show to children" Unless you want to give them nightmares not from the crime on screen but from the musical sting between segments.
Most people are more insane than paranoids. They are embarrassed to lock their homes and cars for some reason -- they think they're invincible and will never be robbed. It's predictable when, at some point, their unlocked car gets stolen or ransacked. Hate to tell them I told them so, but taking a few basic steps to secure your property and safety is better than being robbed. I still can't figure out why people are embarrassed to lock their doors, but they need to do it.

I'm so glad to see a video like this in my notifications! I was worried you might have stopped going over stuff like this after the end of the Televoid Party video.
the whole remember the persons hair cut and color is actually something that is very useful, but you want to do more then that, the more details the better.
I think id rather stick to the cheapo store-brand stuff, it costs like 1.5$ per box and I can walk home with it without waiting 59 trillion years for the postal service to lose it.
some of the cereal isn't all that great apparently, every review(not from their website which doesn't seem to have the option to leave one)I've seen rates all but the fruity ones low
Peanut butter and blueberry are by far their best flavors. But $10 a box ain't cheap, and you have to buy a minimum of 4. I recommend it if you're keto and wanting a treat but far to expensive to eat regularly.
I live in a very small town. Because it’s so small and everyone knows each other, NOBODY ever locks their cars when they go into stores or service buildings. So from first hand experience, I can tell you with certainty that there are people out there who are complacent because they feel so safe in their community that they will not lock their cars. As someone who works with a lot of office works and stuff, I had to watch a video just like this, and it was updated for 2019, most of the information on this video is exactly the same.
…ngl, 😭 women kinda do get actively stalked on a regular basis. Just working in retail could easily get you a stalker maybe every other month. But still, if you drop the stuff on the ground and when they bend down to pick it up, take advantage of their guard being down, and attack. Bonus points if your purse if full of crumbled cookies and and pennies.
This. My coworker drove home after closing the other night and was followed home. She lives alone. They weren't able to get in before the police arrived, but they yelled a lot of shit at her, and now she's always afraid of closing shifts.
Loved this video! Seems like a throwback to older game review style commentary brutalmoose stuff. Would love to see some more of this mixed in with your longer, more intricate videos
11:50 i don't know where you live, but yes it does happen, the guy just waits for you to go out or arrive at home, when you open the door they dash at you and i leave the reset for you imagination
To be fair, crouching down to pick up valuables scattered all over the floor opens you up to a swift roundhouse kick to the head.
Or a stilleto heel to the face.
Or you could just shoot her to avoid getting in that situation.
Never lower your head to your victim, as they will surely deliver a powerful double axe-handle maneuver to your exposed neck, severely hindering your ability to pick up scattered valuables.

@@SuperSisby It was either Danny Gonzales or Drew Gooden... I THINK.
I got suckered in with the last ad he did for them and now I have trust issues. At least they honored their 100% satisfaction guaranteed offer. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the boxes of trash cereal I can barely stomach without contributing to rampant food waste...
@@StoutShako compost
@@SuperSisby Drew Gooden did it. As part of his buy wierd adverts for a month, video. The Magic Spoon part was grisly.
im getting ready to move out and start my own life on my own, so thank you for teaching me safety/self defense Brutalmoose
Good luck!
Good luck, dude.
living on your own can be fun. Just be aware of your surroundings and you’ll most likely be fine.
Make sure to call and let the police know that you're moving.
@@lauraanjema7415 That is true. The police are always glad to be called on their emergency line for non-emergencies
I am reminded of an old Discovery Channel show called It Takes A Thief, where these two former burglars did mock break-ins at people's homes, then gave the "victims" a total home security makeover. This always included an alrm system, and at least one safe, usually by a company called Gardall.
These were the "duck and cover" of the 80s-90s. Most thefts, assaults, and murders are likely to be committed by family members or people you know. But knowing what to do when a stranger in a polo shirt attacks makes us feel safer.
Most thermonuclear exchanges are likely to occur between your friends or family or people you already know too
@@Arbiter099 just the other day my douchebag cousin left a dirty bomb in a thermos at my front door, so I immediately lobbed a water balloon filled with VX at his trick ass
yes, technically, it wasn’t a thermonuclear exchange, and I retaliated with narrow-scale chemical warfare, but I’m not interested in collateral damage, okay?
@@RobCamp-rmc_0 you've just got your priorities straight! It's about sending a message!
This also, added with the fear of violent crime going up while violent crime statistics in general dip with police failing to do their job causing white and other privileged people who own homes in the suburbs more paranoid. They can start the whole "there goes the neighborhood" thing again because apparently in America, a real country, you can't have anything without a little racism.
Not really. Most thefts are small pickpockets and shoplifting that have nothing to do with your relatives or acquaintances. And contrary to what video says, they happen in crowded places where it's much easier to blend with the others and hide yourself from the victim. Most murders and physical assaults are a result of spontaneous disagreements between strangers taken too far (gang violence, fights after road accidents, in bars, during protests etc).
“blueberry. a cereal that tastes of blueberry” - milk jug ian
truly mystical times we live in
YESSS so excited for a new video. I love weird, obscure, rando VHS tapes and your coverage of them is the BEST
god the 90s were buckwild. simultaneously “stranger danger at every turn” and “hey you have to actually tell children hitchhiking is a bad idea”
I'm wondering if Ian would have fun with the instructional tape about fire safety from the 80s that was made by, I think, the Seattle or New York fire department and McDonald's.
14:06 I deadass blankly expected the narrator to say “Once you recognize this bad man in blue” because he’s so ubiquitous 😂
Does anyone else miss Televoid? I think this could’ve been amazing as a televoid episode.
It really could of been...wonder what caused it's demise?
Ian left the televoid, you think he would go back?
Look around at 2021 and tell me this all isn’t Televoid. Please.
@@uhsaywhatnow Seriously though. It really does feel like the televoid these days. I need to find myself some old movies now.
@@RetropixleDS So my understanding is two-fold. The first part is that if memory serves, Ian hit a bit of burnout after the lack of success with Televoid compared to the food videos (mainly due to the yt algorithm) and felt a need of a change of content and then didn't know what to do with televoid. Pretty sure he mentioned this on a Nancy Drew or Bully VOD. The second point is that televoid episode 6 (the party one) was in itself a fine conclusion: One where Ian finally escaped the televoid realm and joined us back in ours seamlessly.
The shrub thing is interesting. I remember watching something some time ago and they talked about how it was good to have shrubs or rose bushes under low windows to deter people from trying to climb in.
I'm always interested in these old things. Especially those old drive-in style ads you run before your streams. Good to see old things from past eras come to the present from time to time.
A lot of these are actually pretty good tips though lol.and you can absolutely notify the local authorities if you will be away from home for an extended period of time. They're even willing to do check ups on the property during your time away to make sure it hasn't been broken into
Hell YES! Exactly what I need today! Thx Ian, impecible timing as always!
brutalmoose is the only channel where I stick around for the sponsored segments, he and his Wizard Editing make these amusing regardless of what is being sold.
You’re the man Ian. I can always count on you making my day brighter
That guy wasn’t just randomly running up with a gun to someone just holding out a wallet, it was a scheduled theft. He called first and told the victim to be waiting at their door with their wallet ready, and he’ll be there at 5:30 to steal it. So now you can see that it was very convenient and helpful.
i’m glad you document these old vhs tapes it’s really a time capsule the feeling of these tapes are so chill and cozy
Fun story, a friend and her abusive ex used to get into fights about keeping their blinds closed. He had a lot of video games on display and she would argue that they should keep the blinds drawn so as not to potentially be robbed. Well cut to about a year after they break up and guess who got 4000$ worth of stuff stolen
$4000 dam did he have solid gold game discs?
@@jims7773 just rich parents
@@darkninjafirefox I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's the reason your friend's house was targeted, not because of a video game display.
@Matt Pace The video game display is an indication of wealth, I.E rich parents.
@@couchmaster3773 Dude, burglars are not just staring into people's windows looking to see whether or not there's anything to steal. The majority of criminals are smart enough not to do that, and the ones that aren't get caught pretty quickly.
I remember when Ian got a haircut and now his hair looks so amazingly long again 😍
Your profile picture has reminded me of the importance of dental hygiene.
The weird seat belt is the old automatic kind. The part she buckled in is usually always attached to the buckle and it moves forward along the door frame when you open the door. There's also a lap belt. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those!
Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail and thought it said “Don’t be a virgin, be alert!”
Ha!
Being a virgin raises the risk of you facing crime by 69%.
@@ah.neat.408 nice
@@ah.neat.408 I hate that this comment made me giggle.😅😆
@@NurseInTraining I always like it when people respond to one of my comments about how I made them laugh.
yesss the safety psa content!! this stuff is endlessly fascinating, especially how things change over time
ian needs to drop the hair care routine tbh those locks are looking particularly magnificent this video
"It's not a tape you would show to children"
Unless you want to give them nightmares not from the crime on screen but from the musical sting between segments.
Was just thinking about this channel! Thanks for a new vid
I cried for almost this whole video. But like.....for the right reasons. Because Ian's editing and commentary are pure gold every time ever.
I'm not 100% happy with how Ian wrote "%100 Happiness Guaranteed"
Reminds me of people who write 50$
Which, as an European, is uhh... me. Quite often.
Every video reminds me of how impactful Ian's humor and editing are.
True story: most of the reported car thefts in my city are people not locking their cars ... So some people need this advice, apparently
Same in my area, the news had to tell people to lock their cars
Most people are more insane than paranoids. They are embarrassed to lock their homes and cars for some reason -- they think they're invincible and will never be robbed. It's predictable when, at some point, their unlocked car gets stolen or ransacked. Hate to tell them I told them so, but taking a few basic steps to secure your property and safety is better than being robbed. I still can't figure out why people are embarrassed to lock their doors, but they need to do it.
"9-1-1, what's your emergency?"
"Uh yeah, I'm headed out of town for a few weeks for... butt surgery. I'm getting a real... fat... butt implant. So... I just thought you guys should know..."
[NARRATOR] _If you lose your temper, this may be exactly what the caller wants._
This part was golden
I'm so glad to see a video like this in my notifications! I was worried you might have stopped going over stuff like this after the end of the Televoid Party video.

These training videos are always a trip
As a wise(?), cowboy hat-wearing man once said... *"STREET SMARTS!"*

Ian's hair was covering the Y in yummy milk so I kinda lost it when he said he was going to pour some of himself onto his cereal
7:54 If I hear frantic whistling like that, I just assume the local junior soccer game has turned sour.
the whole remember the persons hair cut and color is actually something that is very useful, but you want to do more then that, the more details the better.
Hey Ian! I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I have anxiety and your videos are the only thing that helps me.
Thank you!!!!
As a fan of 90s cars, this has been a treat.
dude, that magic spoon stuff is like $10 per box, and the discount code only removes most of the shipping cost so that's still $40 for 1 order.
I think id rather stick to the cheapo store-brand stuff, it costs like 1.5$ per box and I can walk home with it without waiting 59 trillion years for the postal service to lose it.
some of the cereal isn't all that great apparently, every review(not from their website which doesn't seem to have the option to leave one)I've seen rates all but the fruity ones low
Peanut butter and blueberry are by far their best flavors. But $10 a box ain't cheap, and you have to buy a minimum of 4. I recommend it if you're keto and wanting a treat but far to expensive to eat regularly.
Say No to $5 bowls of cereal.
How else will they pay for all the sponsor spots?
I was just looking for a new BM video last night - great timing right before my bday bro
I lost my shit when it got to doors doors lock window doors. I don't know why, but that whole skit was hilarious
I love the woman blowing the whistle after being robbed and looking around like “WHERE IS ANYONE???”
"Whether you actually feel that way or not. That's how you feel."
I live in a very small town. Because it’s so small and everyone knows each other, NOBODY ever locks their cars when they go into stores or service buildings. So from first hand experience, I can tell you with certainty that there are people out there who are complacent because they feel so safe in their community that they will not lock their cars.
As someone who works with a lot of office works and stuff, I had to watch a video just like this, and it was updated for 2019, most of the information on this video is exactly the same.
I love these types of videos, thanks Moose!
The tagline “someone wants to kill you with a gun” should be the American motto!
That was the best segue to a sponsored section ever, well done, ya did it.
thank you brutalmoose now i can be alert of boring crimes
Oh god, finally I’ve needed my dose of the moose recently.
…ngl, 😭 women kinda do get actively stalked on a regular basis. Just working in retail could easily get you a stalker maybe every other month.
But still, if you drop the stuff on the ground and when they bend down to pick it up, take advantage of their guard being down, and attack. Bonus points if your purse if full of crumbled cookies and and pennies.
Yeah, and if they recognise your car from one day to the next, they might do something to it while it’s parked.
being in retail can make you a sitting duck :(
This. My coworker drove home after closing the other night and was followed home. She lives alone. They weren't able to get in before the police arrived, but they yelled a lot of shit at her, and now she's always afraid of closing shifts.
Ian, I imagine you have a whole guest room just full of weird costumes.
can we please have a compilation of all your ads because they're all so GOOD. I look forward to them in every video
My health class in highschool was shown this video in 2010.
I'm safe because of my Weiner . That topic should have been included as well.
"Never go to the bank! You WILL get robbed at the bank!"
I think you meant to say my Lawyer's Office.
Loved this video! Seems like a throwback to older game review style commentary brutalmoose stuff. Would love to see some more of this mixed in with your longer, more intricate videos
10:42 This part made me laugh my ass off.
11:50 i don't know where you live, but yes it does happen, the guy just waits for you to go out or arrive at home, when you open the door they dash at you and i leave the reset for you imagination
