Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode 154 of Heist podcast, the True Crime Podcast, without any of the murder. I'm Simon. And I'm Matt.

0:23.3

And kind of, I guess it's best to assume what we're going to be talking about. There's a little bit of murder.

0:29.9

Yeah. It's, yeah, it's not, there's a little bit of darkness in there. But, you know, that's only really assuming.

0:36.0

Yeah, exactly. It hasn't been completely proved. Well, yeah. Either way, we don't get on to it too deep. Matt, how are you doing, buddy? How are things? I'm doing good, feeling good. Yeah, man. Just stumbled upon this episode, really into the story. Can't believe we have never covered it before. Yeah, I have no idea. Where'd you pull this from? I had no idea.

0:54.5

When I read it, I had no idea that we'd even been tracking it down. I think I saw it in a book and then I found some videos on YouTube about it. Oh, nice. Well, man, this is a wild ride. This is great. Awesome. Well, I mean, listen, we don't need to keep talking. Should we get into some heist news?

1:10.9

Let's do it.

1:11.4

All right.

Investigate Middle of the Night $600,000 theft. This is from ABCA.

Stealing hoverboards. Hoverboards. They don't mean the ones

1:30.8

from back to the future. They mean the ones with the two wheels, right? Yeah, I wish. It'd be way cooler.

1:35.0

They should have never, they should have never been allowed to call them hoverboards. I know. I know.

1:39.5

Two wheelers or something. Just after 2 a.m. Friday morning, while most of us were fast asleep, security cameras captured the start of what police are investigating as a heist worth more than a half a million dollars. It happened outside the warehouse of GoTRAX, a wholesaler of hoverboard, scooters, and more in Carleton. It's kind of like I'm watching a movie, said GoTrak's C.O. Nathan Carlson of seeing videos of the

crime. One of those moments that's very surreal. Carson said in the middle of the night, a group of
