Karen uses Credit Card SCAM to steal $2000 of Giftcards and gets CAUGHT - Reddit Podcast

[@Zeruel3]

They could have started off genuinely believing there were evil spirits, that then escalated into the parents needing to stay awake as long as possible so they turned to meth, then started cooking and like everything else they did they messed it up, so horribly it got the house condemned

[@RequiemPoete]

Also, making drugs makes sense for people trying to earn money off the grid. Or its possible there were animal sacrificed decaying in the basement.

[@icedtea4933]

my guess is that when they cooked the meth they did it and got high off of it and the guy who "helped them" find spirits was just a guy trying to get them to produce meth for him to sell

[@darlap2724]

Dang, that last story had a crazy ending that was completely unexpected! I definitely didn't see that coming. Had to be a huge cooking operation to have to demolish the house, but those people were nuts as well. Great job, loving this channel since I found you! 💖

It was cook house, all that smelly junk in the yard was there to hide the smell.

[@twiggygrl84]

I don't think the junk in the yard would have smelled at all. I grew up with a backyard that was adjacent to a junk car lot. I've also lived in a minivan for nearly 2 years... cars don't bring odor like the way they're saying.... unless they used them for raw material storage. Their ghost hunter friend was probably their connection to selling product. And tweakers dig holes... it's a thing. I don't get it but yeah. The kids learned it somewhere. Or they were exposed to the product themselves.

[@AttackDog654]

Termites?

[@Aguilar1424nohemi]

It sounded like an episode of hoarders mixed with mental illness until the hazmat suits and yeah that is normally meth head behavior. My biggest question is how in the fuck did they hide their operations from cps?? Were they cooking it in the trunk of the cars that's why the kids eventually went inside?? So many questions.

What an absolutely CRAZY story. I completely agree with you that they had the most patient neighbors ever. It's crazy that this went on for as long as it did. Definitely one of my favorite stories you've read on this channel. Nice job. Like button SMASHED.

The irony is, is the Second story could have used a Karen in the neighborhood. She definitely would have sorted the situation.

Usually when locals get a hotel room it's usually for parties, hooking up, or something even more sketch. So a lot of hotels don't like providing rooms for locals.

[@o.c.kiddkidd5163]

About 12 years back I was contracted to clear, clean, and repair a small house owned by a rather wealthy jeweler who had let his prostitute/junkie niece live there rent free for years. The "home" had a single toilet that was filled to the top with human excrement...yeah. I can't imagine how it was used by the last few people who filled it either. The owners nephew was a realtor who provided a ton of work for my business so I didn't walk away from the job. I just made a plan that allowed me to trash the entire toilet, poop and all, without contaminating myself, my workers, or anything else. I suspect that what got the house in this story condemned and the children, finally, taken away, was the families unfamiliarity with indoor plumbing. After a lifetime of being used to pooping as bears do the kids, and perhaps the parental substitutes that were raising them, were doing their business everywhere in the house. I shudder to imagine it...but I can imagine it.

[@nevaehlumiere5418]

This is very close to what I commented about… I said urine and feces because they weren’t used to indoor plumbing. Therefore, they would send out hazmat people if there was urine and feces everywhere

[@pcoyle2007]

I have to congratulate the patience of the people in this neighborhood and just can’t imagine how this would have turned out if this neighborhood had an HOA with a Karen

[@Rusty_Nickle]

Last one. Holy smokes that sounds like an awesome neighbor to live in with awesome people. Noe that's a good community.

[@RequiemPoete]

The ending story may not have been a drug situation. If they were really believing demons haunted them and were doing rituals, it's possible there were sacrificed animals in the basement.

[@lizzythompson]

Or... if the children were as ferral as they sounded, maybe they were never taught to use the toilet and messed all over the house. If they didn't work, who paid utility bills. No running water=nasty.

[@snake5solid]

I am surprised that CPS let it keep going for long. And that neighbors weren't calling them more. Like... that is not normal. Nothing about it was normal.

[@jessicamgallion8977]

CPS doesn't do anything in most areas. Unless a child is truly injured, they normally won't do shit. I know the CPS in my area is like that. My daughter had an issue with her father back in June. She ended up in a mental health facility for a 72 hour hold. Once she got out of there, she told me the whole story of what happened. I called CPS right away to file a claim of child abuse, and neglect. I never heard anything for months. Since my lawyer is involved to try to get custody changes my lawyer told me to go into the CPS building and file it again since I haven't heard anything yet. I did. I took my daughter in with me and she told them everything. The lady wrote it all down, took more info, asked questions. Said that her boss would look into it and I should hear something within 2 weeks. About a month later I got 2 letters in the mail. One from my first report, and one from the second. The were dated 3 days apart, and both said the same exact thing, that it was being looked into. The incident occurred on June 4th. Nothing has been done with her father yet. And of course with the snail speed court system, custody still hasn't been changed. Ridiculous

STORY 2- OMG! I am just wondering what would have happened if there was one or more karens in the neighborhood! They would have gone crazy ! and yeah the neighbors in the original story were wayyyyyyy toooooo patient!

[@CrystallizedPaint]

Dude the last story could be the utter most best breaking bad but with horror story ghost movie or series to ever exist

[@hilla3353]

For a moment I thought they were some kind of cult. Isolating the children, home schooling them, doing strange rituals. But that's not the case, or else the kids wouldn't have been allowed to play with others and the parents, or at least one, would have been smarter

[@cherylw3669]

I'm thinking they might have been slaughtering animals (perhaps for food or weird sacrifice) in the house and then left the carcasses to rot. That would definitely warrant protective gear if left unchecked for long enough. Especially in summer heat.

[@ked49]

Both that and meth

[@nevaehlumiere5418]

OK in that one story with the family living outside of their house… Everyone assumes that they’re making drugs inside the house because of the hazmat people. My first thought was they didn’t know how to use indoor toilet and that there was urine and feces everywhere… and/or perhaps rotting food, since they probably didn’t use a refrigerator. Hence, they actually would send hazmat people to deal with a situation like that.

I hate hotels with no locals policies. I went to school 200 miles from home and when I would go back home I didn’t always want to sleep on my parents couch. I would go get a room in town but several of our local hotels have no locals within 50 miles policies. Since I still had my parents address on my license since I was moving back home after school if the other hotels were booked I couldn’t get a room. It was so infuriating.

[@Fiercetits]

The way gift cards worked at my store was even if the CC got a chargeback, there was no way to cancel those cards themselves so after getting a similar scam we only accepted cash for gift cards no more CC’s were allowed.

People who do meth too much and dont get enough sleep tend to hallucinate and have schizophrenic like symptoms which would explain a lot from this story. Even if the kids didnt partake, just being in such a toxic environment could have severe side effects.

[@valoriegray2859]

As I guessed at the beginning of the crazy neighbor story; that complaining neighbor was a member of an HOA programs. She judged those people because they didn't live up to her expectations. My guess is; the crazy neighbor's property wasn't in that HOA area, and the busy body neighbor couldn't force them to live by her standards. By the way the story went; she was probably the one calling the CPS and police. She will get hers one day though.

[@jackfoxx6351]

i think the trash fence was mostly stored inside. like a land fill in the living room. so it must had been infested with pests.

[@smorphous8928]

Perhaps the family never heard of cleaning and bugs and insects were making themselves at home there and later raccoons and even foxes came into the mix and since the garbage was left lying around that was the breaking point for a lot of neighbors to call Cps and some guys in hazmat suits.

[@SayedDoom]

Yoo good job and good luck with your video keep up the good work

[@TionJae]

Weird smells was them cooking drugs, possibly they cooked so much that its soaked into the walls of the house and if was hard to be in the house without someone being effected by it. which could explain why the Wanderer child wandered offf as much as she did.

[@Picked-man]

If I had to guess they were bringing bugs and creatures inside the house and the building was running into disrepair and it got to the point where It was so bad that it was literally contaminated with bugs and various other animals

[@averyblurryduck749]

i still don't undertstand how the family in the last story got the money to even buy the house, the cars, plants, recourses for that "f e n c e", even if it was some kind of operation with drugs going on, they're so out of touch with social interaction that they would most certainly not know how to sell that stuff "assuming they've been doing since the beginning" and i'm pretty sure being haunted by a supposed demon and not being able to live in a house doesn't make money rain from the sky, so im absolutely stumped on that question

Thankfully I no longer have to live in that situation.

They sound like gift certificates that you can't scan a balance. Small business and spa's deal with that. I had an ex co worker do that she bought her family gift certificates, then canceled the charge. They did have a serial number, so when I went to use my secret Santa, I had a pleasant surprise 😢. Ya, no, I didn't have $50 towards my spa day. She tried to downplay it, but I knew from the owner that she had bought 10 $50 certificates and canceled the transition. She was unfortunately not only dumb enough to gift me but our BOSS, whose mother was humiliated at the spa, and heard the tawdry tale. Me getting screwed out of secret Santa stunk, but Sandy getting the bosses mom in a pickle was not a great way to say Merry Christmas to a boss who GENEROUSLY tips for Christmas in cash so no tax. He was not happy. Sandy doesn't work w us anymore. He husband left and got sober after being married to crazy for 35 years. Hope you're doing better, Charlie and Sandy. You owe me 50 dollars.😅

Lots of stores do not use actual gift cards as they were made back in the day. Gift Cards are more or less a magnetic strip and/or a QR code that is attached to a Database that says that this person has paid you x amount of money. In the past Gift Cards were associated with a bank and backed by money that was held by a bank. Modern Cards are held by the shop owner. Essentially this means that a GC can be entered independently of cash.
