| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. |
| 0:28.3 | I'm your host, Madeline. And I'm your co-host, Kenna. |
| 0:33.2 | All right, Kenna, today I have a question for you to kick off the show. |
| 0:37.2 | Have you ever been burglarized? Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. Tell me about that. What happened? |
| 0:42.3 | I lived in this place in Denver where my car would get broken into kind of a lot. One time I threw in a |
| 0:51.3 | garbage bag full of clothes to take to the Buffalo Exchange, shut my door, |
| 0:56.2 | locked it, like literally came back inside for 30 seconds, and I came outside and the window |
| 1:01.7 | was smashed and they had taken all my clothes. I was going to take to Buffalo Exchange. |
| 1:04.9 | That's a bummer. Yeah, so I've been burgled. |
| 1:07.4 | Did you ever have to, like, call the police as a result of it to file like a police report or |
| 1:12.0 | anything? No, I think, um, maybe one time like my registration was stolen out of my car and I had to |
| 1:19.4 | call about it. Yeah, usually like if you have like an insurance thing or like something like that, |
| 1:24.4 | you need a police report. It was such a long time ago where it was just like, I think it was more just like a formality |
| 1:29.4 | to be like, my registration is gone. |
| 1:32.2 | Totally. |
| 1:33.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:34.1 | So where I grew up in Fresno, our houses and cars got broken into all the time. |
| 1:39.9 | Like the thing I say about Fresno is that, yeah, someone will steal your shit, but it's Fresno, so you can just steal it back. It's pretty tough. And the general procedure is like the cops show up a few hours after you call them. They take some notes. They help you file a report. You just need a copy of the report for your insurance company. So you can get like the window replaced or whatever, and that's kind of it. |
| 2:06.8 | And then if your car gets stolen, in my experience, they usually recover it, but sometimes it'll be lit on fire by the side of the road when they find it. |
| 2:11.4 | Cool, but not cool. |
| 2:13.3 | Yeah, but I think, like, a lot of people have this image of the cops where you call them and they show up and they like dust the scene for fingerprints and take pictures of the broken window and send it all to a crime lab. |
| 2:25.4 | And then they do like empirical data to catch the bad guy by the end of the week or whatever. |
