Can't say I've ever heard of anyone going to this extreme to take a look at a Delorean Time Machine Replica! Anyone else have any crazy stories like this? Bob certainly seems to be telling the truth here, no reason to make this stuff up. Seems like a very bizarre situation. Happy the car wasn't damaged but what a huge issue. Hope the people get caught via social media.

Not saying that VB is doing that, but after al I have seen, I look at almost every event like this through the lens of suspicion....that is if I care enough to look at all.Quote:

Hopefully pictures pop up on the internet of the people who broke in, as they were certainly taking pictures of the car. Would be easy to spot.Quote:

Yeah, here's the direct link to the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fClj_U5TCsk&t=54s
I was working on a TV show for NBC, they wanted the Delorean for a scene, I was there a few days.
We wrapped at about 2am the night before, I locked it up in the trailer about 3am, so I slept late in the bus.
I felt the bus moving a little and at first I thought it was the wind, but the wind is usually a gentle sway along the bus left to right,
but this was a jole forward and back, like someone was jumping on the hitch.
When I checked my cameras I saw a little gray car driving away.
It took me a bit to get dressed and go outside and check and that's when I discovered the switched lock.
I asked the old man who was manning the Goodwill station next door and he confirmed there were people back there.
I checked with mall security but they were no help.
I went to the Target, the WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot that were near by and none of them had sold the lock.
So maybe it was shoplifted or purchased at a different store I didn't check.
Most people believe that the lock was put there so they could come back later and steal the car.
Little did they know I was inside with a very large pistol nearby.
Had I gotten up a few minutes earlier and caught them there would be full of lead right now.
Needless to say, I changed all the locks with the biggest ones I could find.
I am having a new trailer made soon and it will have an alarm system, inside and outside active cameras, etc.
This is another reason I don't advertise and put decals on the side, etc.
I don't anyone to know what is inside there.
If I so much as open the door to check the ties, I will hear cars screech to a stop behind and people will jump out
and run up to take pictures and ask stupid questions...
I should be thankful, it has kept in business since 2004, hundreds of rentals and 28 car builds.
I just need to beef up the security from now on.
I tried to watch the video.... Too many F-bombs for my liking. Didn't finish it.
Here's an easier, less expensive security method. Back the trailer close up against a wall. This prevents unauthorized access to the rear door, and unhooking and outright trailer theft. Boom, problem solved without a risk of being in the news because you blew away a delinquent BTTF nut with your "very large pistol".
:gun:
Yeah right.Quote:

Was that a little too much for Talk? Oh well:spank:
