Story of Chain Smoker v2 - Truck Thieves to SEMA Show

[@warwickandrews]

Update: the thieves were caught and the one that hit me was charged with assault 🤌

[@gerbil7771]

Glad to hear they got caught, way too much shit gets stolen these days. It’s awesome to see local guys winning and making whicked builds.

[@warwickandrews]

@@gerbil7771appreciate the kind words!

[@chriscomer1472]

Its Canada .. Trudeau will probably give him a medal and a parade

[@theglitch99]

​@chriscomer1472 I was going to say same thing if it was in the USA!😂

[@caseyanderson1297]

Should've been assault with a weapon, attempted robbery, along with a list of other things... glad you're okay bud. Awesome vid, awesome work. Just found your channel!

[@matthewrogers94mr]

One thing I like is here in Texas is if someone tries to steal your property you have every right to defend it.

[@warwickandrews]

God Bless America

[@tazzthedoodle7861]

Here in Canada people are forced to take in in the arse. You defend property with force you go to prison.

[@canadian_7377]

Nice to see Warwick post as a fellow Calgarian :)

[@warwickandrews]

Thanks bud! Represent ✊

[@r3drvng3]

That pisses me off so much hearing you can't even defend yourself cause those guys would've either lived and ran away or been shot dead in texas, first time watching any video from you glad to hear it all ended well for you and you're okay after everything

[@brandonweiss8300]

Respect man, you faced adversity and powered through. I can feel your excitment, congratulations!

Cool story. Love your passion and your truck

This story is movie worthy. Nice to see your from Calgary. I lived there almost 15 years and been living in BC the past few years. But i have alot of eagers to move back... Again great story.

[@Peezy193]

You should definitely be able to injure someone on your property whilst they are trying to steal your stuff. That’s outrageous

I know it’s a complete joke

No cameras no evidence. Remember. You got big yard 😂

Great storytelling personality. This channel will blow up soon.

[@warwickandrews]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Hope so lol but I’m fine if it doesn’t, these are going to be awesome videos for me to rewatch in 20 years so I’m looking forward to that

Damn dude. Blow after blow, but that’s what separates the men from the boys!! Great job! Awesome build. Wish I had the freedom to just go all in on a project like yours!! I’m 52 going on 20 but have a 3 yr old and a job I can’t afford to miss work at, slave to the man!! 21:13

Thanks Tim glad I was able to keep you entertained!

[@ericward4023]

Love the super friendly Canadian life style but bro!!! What the eff happens when you’re seriously hurt or worse just for walking up on someone trying to steal from you . People like that need to know immediately that what they did is not okay via a serious beat down or anything else that they will make them remember that lesson for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah love the build by the way! Awesome job 🤙

[@warwickandrews]

I mean I saved my truck and I stayed out of the drama of getting charged with assault like the guy that hit me did so I’m pretty happy with the overall out come either way lol but thanks none the less!

That was a warning boop, just because it was SEMA week.😂

[@devildon1969x]

I'm surprised that you didn't move out of Canada after all that you've been through, but you are happy so that's what really matters, amazing build, and glad that everything has worked out for you, keep your head up, you're an inspiration to to lots of people who love older trucks and many others who are following a dream, keep up the good work

[@warwickandrews]

Oh man I haven’t even posted half of it. The amount of theft that I dealt with at my old shop was insane. Moving to the country was the best decision I could have made, although that doesn’t change Canadas inflation issue and overall decline in the economic world so moving outta the country probably wouldn’t be the worst lol

[@MrTrackday101]

In the US, you could have protected yourself properly and held these 2 till police arrive. But, Canadian laws don't allow citizens to protect themselves it seems. Glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Stay safe🤙

[@warwickandrews]

It’s a shame but hopefully some laws change in the next few years with new government. Time will tell

Or get a pound Dawg they are a pretty good deterrent and early alert system...or Motion sensor that sets of an alarm or flashing light inside is another good one...dunno if you cameras have the ability to set off an alarm pretty common option nowadays :) good shit anyways roll on next vid!! :)

Heya Shaun thanks for the comment and for watching! Especially all the way down in NZ, which is just the Canada of the southern hemisphere lol. I’m actually representing both sides because I’m dual citizen NZ and Canada. I lived there back in 2006 when I was doing summer training for snowboarding, bought a car and had a blast with the rhd! Definitely shout out to our guardian angel tow man Bryce, and as for robbers I’m in the country now so it’s been much better since the move but believe me I have more than just a wrench for them next time lol

[@billmcmeekin7909]

Our poor country sucks! Took my Max, brand new enclosed trailer to Calgary with my mint C6 Z06 to have the heads done, last year, having to stop in Edmonton. Some somewhat skilled thieves broke into Max not damaging the door badly at all, and drilled out my ignition. Thankfully the immobilizer was still active and it wouldn't start. Cops came and stated mine was the only vehicle of six in Edmonton that night that wasn't stolen! Vehicle theft is as common as coffee at Tim's, is what RC's said. Got my Vette and truck repaired and never stopped except for fuel ( slept in truck) until home. This is what my country has become? Can't have anything nice I guess out in public :⁠'⁠( Good thing I have a beater also for daily driver. Canada, Third world country! Happy your okay, and got to keep your truck. Cheers ehhh, stay safe.

Our 2000 F350 with the 7.3 (after $12,500 worth of upgrades including a new KC turbo) was stolen in North Portland while we slept at The Portlander Inn. We carried our luggage out at 11 AM the next morning and truck gone! The thieving rat bass turds crunched the front bumper/grille -- ruined all the door handles -- and kept all my tools, chop saw, etc. where the back seat of our crew cab used to be. It's such a violation and I'm adverse to any law which protects these sh!t heads. :(

[@erebostd]

@@warwickandrewswhen i check your laws i find this: Defence - use of threat or force 34 (1) A person is not guilty of an offence if (a) they believe on reasonable grounds that force is being used against them or another person or that a threat of force is being made against them or another person; (b) the act that constitutes the offence is committed for the purpose of defending or protecting themselves or the other person from that use or threat of force; and (c) the act committed is reasonable in the circumstances That doesn’t sound so bad? Here in Austria you can get a shotgun for self defense if you want, but the people in Switzerland or Germany have similar rules to yours, and i‘ve seen other methods to handle thieves there, that would scare most of them away quite effectively 😁😉

@@warwickandrews Thats def something I take for granted, Im legally allowed to shoot somebody so long as im in actual fear for my life, i.e a robber going "im gonna stab you" and then proceeding too swing wrench.... Seems kind of backwards. Self defense in the states is very muddy aswell, im just happy to be from Idaho, where literally everyone owns a gun, and is thinking twice about stealing. I have no pity for thieves, and i don't care to let my things get stolen either. Like hell im gonna watch my belongings get stolen and not be throwing hands. Happy you got the property of your dreams now! Keep this content a commmin.

[@chrisallen9465]

Every Canadian has the right to defend themselves, to safeguard their person and their property from threats. However, with how self-defense is written into law in Canada, this right is upheld solely when the defensive actions taken are reasonable and proportional to the circumstances.

[@warwickandrews]

lol ya imagine if I told those guys “hold a sec, I need to call my lawyer to find out what defensive actions I can take that would be reasonable and proportional to these circumstances”
