Pizza Delivery Theft and Car Accident
Speaker 1I'm working at pizza , you know , living my best life , probably like 25 at the time and , uh , there was a time where I don't know what happened . I think my window I broke my window somehow , um or no , my driver's side window wouldn't roll up . So my window at this time was always open and you just , you know , you're delivering food all the time . It's just like you kind of get used to it . It is what it is . I had a shitty car at the time as well . I think it was like a Cavalier , like a 2001 Chevy Cavalier .
Speaker 1So while you work at Pizza Hut , I'm always basically I'm always forgetting that my window is down Because I'm running in and out of my fucking car delivering food . So I have this one delivery and it's to my mom's building . So I'm like , let me just call ahead , let moms know I'm coming through . You know what I mean . Mom , fire up the stove , put some fucking fresh on the fucking stove and make a nigga , some food . Oh , I just missed a delivery they gave me . Fuck , yeah , anyways , damn , that hurt , yeah . So you know , I used to do that . All the time .
Speaker 1When I worked at pizza hut , if I had a delivery near my mom's house and it was like around dinner , I would just call like hey , be there in 20 if that's possible . Chef up some fire , have it on the table . Bing , bang , bang , boom , you feel me . So that's in action , everything copacetic . I deliver the pizza to my mom's building , go to her door , eat dinner and then come down to my car and in this time I've forgotten my cell phone in my car with my window down , and my mom kind of lives in like a sketchy area . You know a lot of crackheads .
Speaker 1So I immediately run down when I realized I've left my fucking phone in my car . I run down in a panic , I look and my fucking , uh , all my cords , my aux cord , my charger , my cell phone , and some crackhead must have just seen an iphone like just sitting inside a car with the window down and these motherfuckers snatched my phone chargers , everything right . So I run down and my phone is missing . I'm trying to play it cool because I'm like maybe I forgot it upstairs . You know what I mean . Maybe I just panicked , but I didn't . It wasn't upstairs , so I had to call my brother from my mom's house and I call my bro and , thank god , my brother , this nigga's done saved me .
Speaker 1It was dope about having a brother is usually , if they're of age and you're on somewhat of good terms , you have another body . If you need help with something you know what I mean there's another grown man you could call on . So now there's two of y'all . You know what I'm saying . So I hit my bro up like nigga . These crackhead niggas stole my phone out of my car . Can you help me ? Like , roll with me , see if I see any of these niggas , we could just call it off your phone . And if we see any of these motherfuckers picking up a white iphone through their like you know what I mean we'll run up on them and see if that's my phone or not . And of course , my brother was fucking .
Speaker 1In three seconds this nigga pulled up and we go to pandora . My mom lives like a couple blocks from pandora , not too close , but that's like , that's like the crackhead block out here , guys , meanwhile , first of all , I have to call my job and tell them hey , my phone's been stolen . I'm not coming back until I got to go find my phone , like peace out . You know what I mean . Forgot to tell you guys . That's part right , because I've completely abandoned my job at this point . Told them like hey , my phone's stolen , I got to see if I could find it . And we're fucking calling this phone .
Speaker 1We're driving up Pandora from maybe , uh , from Vancouver and Pandora all the way down to Douglas and Pandora . So we just keep doing laps . We keep doing laps and we like drive in front of the hostel there on Pandora and Blanchard and we see a fucking some like crackhead dude just like pull out a fucking iPhone , like he was like annoyed right , like it kept ringing . You know what I mean . He looked annoying and I seen that and I told my brother to pull over and we ran up on this nigga correction , my brother ran up on this nigga while I fucking cheerleaded from the fucking car and he fucking snatched up my phone . My brother's's seeing like oh , this is Burke's phone , it has a bunch of missed calls from me and , yeah , kind of just flexed on the crackhead and it's easy . You know my brother talks shit . You know what I mean . So he just comes back to Carl like yeah , nigga , this is how I do it . You feel me Nigga who live like this . Nigga , this , how I act . Nigga this hot tank .
Speaker 1Somehow we found the crackhead from just doing laps calling the phone and we got my brother , got my phone back and that was pretty dope and we walked back to my car , my little shitty , chevy cavalier , and this is the best part of the story . We both get in the car man that I'm like man , thank you bro . And both get in the car man . And then I'm like man , thank you bro . And fucking , I put the car in drive . I think I fucking just punched the gas , boom , just smash into the car behind me , not knowing I put the car in reverse and not in drive . I'm like , oh shit , I throw it in drive and I just I had to skirt out . Guys , I'm not gonna lie . Alright , I had to skirt out . You know what I mean . I'm talking to my bro like man , you know the Lord , look out for your boy . You know what I mean .
