Today, we're surviving 24 hours with real criminals ranging from pickpocketing all the way to Grand Theft Auto. These criminals are some of the smartest and most evil men in the entire world. And for the next 24 hours, they're going to be showing us and teaching us how they committed their crimes.
And in order to survive the day, we have the police helping us out. So, make sure you keep watching until the end. Starting with a magician who specializes in pickpocketing.
And today he's going to show us and teach us how to pickpocket strangers in plain sight. So you can steal someone's phone without them even noticing. Yeah.
Yeah. That's what a pickpocket does. In fact, while we were talking and setting up the shot, um I got yours.
Wait, what? No. So, we're going to give this a try today.
If you want to. It's up to you, man. This is scary.
Let's do it. Let's steal some stuff. Uh Drw, don't say that out loud, bro.
All right. We're going to start with the easiest form of pickpocketing, which is called the table steel. You're basically stealing something off of a table, but it's right in front of someone.
So, even if something's in front of their face, you can take it without them knowing as long as you create shade. What is a shade? So, shade shade shade is something that blocks the ey line from the steel.
That's risky. This is risky, but it's like the least risky thing we're going to do today. Oh my god, there's more.
Yeah. And little did we know, this was going to be the riskiest thing we've ever tried. And that's why we were working with the local police department to make sure nothing got out of hand.
Do you see these girls over here? I could steal their glasses without them seeing. They have a phone out.
I'll see if I can get a phone, too. This is crazy. Why am I nervous, bro?
I'm just about to witness a crime, man. What if he gets caught? We're out.
Oh, there he is. Look at our phone. Hey guys, how's it going?
Okay, so it looks like he's distracting them with that clipboard. That's the shade. Yeah, that's smart.
Be aware obviously that there's cameras there. There's a camera right over there. Just keep track of that so you know where you're going.
He just took someone's phone. He literally just took someone's phone. Dude, you can barely see it.
Okay, wait. Look at Look at the clipboard's on top of the phones right now. He's going to Oh my god.
Okay, it seems obvious, but it's because we're looking out for it. Like, these people have no idea what's going on. They literally don't even know.
They just got robbed. Oh my god, look at him. Okay, he's coming back.
He's coming back. Moment of truth. Hey guys, I think I think that was a success.
Got a pair of glasses. I also have some lip gloss. I think that would match you pretty well.
Of course, we got uh we got Judah. Wait, let me see. Let me see.
What are you doing? I'm putting my number in here, dude. Wait, what?
I thought I thought why he got it. And now it's time for him to teach us how to do it. Okay, so here's the crash course.
All right. First, establish a contact. Next, you need a clipboard, something that's going to create shade and cover up the objects, and then engage their intention as you're doing the steel.
Okay, so I think you'll be fine. Okay, you got this right. Wait, wait.
Shouldn't we give them their stuff back? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And after we gave them their stuff back, it was finally time for me to give it a try. All right, he's going in. All right, Brent's up.
Do not disappoint us, Brent. We don't want to get arrested. Hey guys, how's it going?
Okay, it looks like he's going for that phone right there. Look at Look at Okay, good. Establishing context.
That's good. He seems nervous. Here we go.
Here we go. Oh, he got it. He has the phone.
Let's go. Okay, cool. Thanks, guys.
Oh my god. And he got out of it. Oh, he knows he lost his phone.
Dude, that was amazing. You did it. I stole someone's phone.
First of all, kudos. Well done. First time.
I'm very impressed. But second of all, you should give that phone back. You definitely All right, I'm going to go give this back right now.
And after giving him his phone back, it's time to move on to level two. That was awesome. But I think we should raise the stakes.
Oh, I like the sound of that. We're going to do something way harder, which is called the watch deal. Okay.
Why is it called the watch deal? Obviously, we're stealing watches. Oh, okay.
I I see it. I saw that you're wearing a watch. Now, I couldn't steal your watch without you knowing.
Probably not, right? There's no way, right? But what we're going to do is we're going to go up to some people and steal their watches.
Uh, true. Look at your wrist. What the How do you think we're going to get arrested for this?
There's only one way to find out, dude. No, I don't. That's not what I wanted him to say.
How do you find someone to steal from? And after scouting out the area, we found the perfect person to rob. I think these guys are pretty good behind me.
So, I'm just going to give this a shot. Okay. So, he has a wash on his on his left wrist.
Leave it up to me. Okay, cool. We'll see how this goes.
Hey, how's it going? Doing good. I'm going to actually have you uh here.
Take the uh take the microphone. You can face the camera and u can I move you like right over here? Yeah.
Yeah. Take one step back. Will you come over too?
A little faster. A little farther. Yeah.
Perfect. That's great. Have you ever been a victim of street crime before?
No, I haven't. Okay. You've never had something like stolen from you?
No. Okay, good. I have a little uh a little gift for you.
Dar, does this watch look familiar? This is yours, right? That was super.
I'm a victim of street crime. And after that, Ben showed us a few more tricks. And now it's time for Drw to try.
Hey, so what is one tip that you need to give Drw before he tries it? Drw, don't try this. I'm trying it.
I'm trying it. I'm sorry. You know, even though this is a horrible idea, I do kind of want to see Drw get arrested.
So, let's just You know what? I do, too. And after a few minutes of searching for a good person to pickpocket, we got to pick a subject that's not going to beat my Drw finally found his target.
I just have to pick someone and go. She's got baggy pants. Which one?
The girl. The girl with the backpack right there. This is such a bad idea.
I know. I'm I'm doing a couple interview questions. Uh All right.
So, do you come to Venice Beach often? What are you doing? We're What?
I'm Okay. Oh, no. We're just doing like a We're doing like a Okay, we're doing like a pig pocket video.
That could not have gone worse. Guys, stop. Let's go.
That did not go good. What happened? I tried to grab the phone.
It was so good. I was like, we got to block the wind. The mic's not going to hear it.
Dude, she's going to call the police, aren't you, bro? I almost had it. Her phone was in my fingers.
I know. We should probably get out of here cuz I'm afraid she's going to call the cops. All right.
What did we learn here today? Um, don't trust anyone. Thank you so much, Ben.
Of course, man. Oh, before I go, I apologize. I couldn't not do it one.
Now, it's time for the next criminal, Randall. And keep in mind, these criminals only get more and more dangerous from here on out. And some of the things we're about to do are pretty risky.
So, make sure you keep watching. This is Randall, an ex-convict who spent 3 years behind bars for stealing things like purses, laptops, and phones out of cars. Oh my god.
For educational purposes, how did you break into cars? Spark, you know, crowbar. But really, I use my my best friend Louis right here.
What? [Music] Oh my god. I didn't think you were going to break my car.
My bad. And before we try this one out for real, Randall has to teach us how to do it. Okay.
There's a lot of valuables in that car. You going to need to break that window, grab them, and take off. 20 seconds or less.
Go. Okay. Got it.
Here we go. Oh my god. You got it, Dom.
Let's go, Dom. Bro, dude, I missed. That wasn't even the window.
I've seen a lot of crazy things, man, but I ain't never seen something that dumb, dude. It's heavy. Oh god.
Oh my god. Yo, that was awesome. Okay, now what?
What you mean? You got to grab. Oh, right.
Um, I got it. I got it. Now what?
You got to run. What am I going for? What is happening?
Now it's time for us to try this one for real. But instead of us breaking in, we're going to set up a sting operation and try to catch someone in the act. So, pretty much we're at the hot spot for all car breakins.
Maybe one every 10, 20 minutes. What? So, we got some valuables right here in the car, man.
Shouldn't be too long for somebody to take the bait. Dude, is this my phone? Don't worry.
Don't worry. All right. We have a slime cannon that's going to explode in someone's face if they try and steal this or anything else in the car.
Okay. Well, that better work, bro. So, if anyone breaks in, just let me handle it.
I just need you guys to stay put for your own safety. And now that everything's ready, it's time to catch a criminal. Okay, so we're in the control van and we have all eyes on that car.
Oh, look at this dude. He's walking around the car, right? Look, he see it, bro.
Look, he see it. He There's been like tons of people walking by the car. No, no, no.
This guy's different. This guy's different. He's going to come back.
What he don't know is what's going to happen next. There he goes. He's coming back.
He's already back. Okay. Oh, wait.
Oh my god. He has a hammer. Look.
Oh, you are. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The slime.
The slime. Cue the slime cannon. Cue the slime cannon.
That's so good. Got him. He can't even see, bro.
He's wiping his eyes. Oh my god. He's having a bad day, man.
So, how's it feel to be on the other side? It feel pretty good not to be the one in cuffs, man. Now, it's time for the next criminal, John.
And he's made thousands of dollars from scamming people. Guys, meet John or as they call him on the street, scam man. What?
Your name is Scam Man? Yo, shut the up. So, this is a credit card skimmer.
You put this over the top of the real credit card swiper and as soon as they swipe the card, you get all their info. Wait, so is that an actual skimmer? Uh, are we are we recording?
I mean, yeah. Oh, um, no. So, this is a a replica one.
If this was real, it would be illegal. Uh, right. Yeah.
No, that was totally convincing. We're We're good. We're good.
All right. All right. So, all you got to do distract the clerk and you pop this on real easy.
How are we supposed to distract the clerk? I don't know. Maybe something like this.
Oh, that was my slushie. Watch what happens. Watch what happens.
Are we allowed to be doing this? This is the point. Now he's distracted.
Oh my god. Okay, so that's it. How would he ever notice that?
Well, they wouldn't. But there's a couple ways that you can not get scammed, right? So, one, if you're using a card, tap to pay.
Okay. See on this right here. It's called a D scammer.
All right. Could detect any skimmer anywhere. Just like this.
Wait, what? Wait. That's super useful.
And now it's time for our sting operation. But before we get the cops involved, let's go to a few stores to see if we can find a skimmer on one of these scanners. Here we go.
Hey, there you go. Well, moment of truth. It beeped.
It beep. What? You know about this?
No. What happened? Is it?
Oh my god. That's a skimmer. A skimmer?
What? Credit card skimmer. Been taking all your customers information.
Did you know about this? I'm I'm going to call my boss, man. Wait, wait, wait.
So, so wait. Do you have security cameras? And after a little bit of convincing, he let us go in the back to look through the security footage.
Wait, dude. I cannot believe we actually found her. Dude, if we can find the scammer, that'd be so good, bro.
And after watching a few days worth of footage, we finally found the culprit. Look, look, look, look, look, look, dude. How does he do it so subtly?
We have his face and everything. How did we find this guy? I'm not snitching, bro.
And now that we have our evidence, it's time to call the police and catch this criminal. What's going on, guys? How's it going?
Doing well. You guys the ones that found this the skimming unit? Yeah.
And after explaining the situation, the cop let us come with him to get it all on camera. Uh, we're about ready to head on over there. However, I'mma park back far enough where you guys need to stay out of the way while we do our investigation.
Okay. Wait, wait. So, we can come in the car.
I'll let you guys come in the car. Then we followed the GPS from the skimmer and got his address. So, is that is that the guy?
Let's go find out. Should we just stay here? See him?
And even though he told us to stay in the car, it was taking too long. So, we went to get a closer look. Yeah, that's definitely happened.
Yeah, that's 100%. Yeah, right. That's my phone.
That is my phone. Man, watch this car. You going to take me to jail, dude.
He put him in a handcuffs. I mean, yeah, he deserves to be arrested, bro. He's been stealing from people.
Who's going to drive my car? Don't worry about your car, man. Your car's here to save us.
We did it. We just busted a criminal. Thank you so much, John.
Really appreciate it. Okay, now it's time for the next criminal. His name is Jeff and he was a professional thief who stole over a million dollar worth of jewelry.
So, Jeff, how did you get away with so many burglaries? Three quick things. Got to have a place.
You got to have your crew. You got to get in and out fast. You weren't fast.
You got caught, bro. I'm just saying. Who's with this guy?
Look, it's a joke. You got a punchable face. I'm sorry.
You're lucky I don't want to go back to jail. I kick you in the balls right now. You know what?
I was stupid. Truth. So, we're not actually going to be robbing a store today, right?
No, no, no. I'm just showing you how. Okay, perfect.
Just making sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. And that's what we all believed, but Jeff had a different plan, so make sure you keep watching. Okay.
So, does this look like a store you'd rob? Shut up. Sh.
As I was about to say, this is what we call a perfect place. Wait, what makes it perfect? Glass everywhere.
Let's go take a look inside. Yeah. Yeah.
Why? We shouldn't be going in here. Why are we going inside?
Welcome. What's up, pal? Is there anything in particular I can help you with today?
Uh, no. We're just looking. Thanks, buddy.
Yeah, I think we're good. Thank you. Sure.
Just let me know if you need anything. Damn, look at that. Holy crap, man.
All right, guys. So, when you get inside, you first got to pick the case. Second thing, you don't want to face the cameras.
Okay, bro. There's cameras everywhere. No, there's only three.
This is easy. And the third step. What?
Gloves. You just You just have gloves in your wallet. Wait, why are you putting them on right now?
I know. Wait, why are you putting them on? The last step, bro.
Chill. It looks like you're about to rob this place. Cuz I am.
What? Bro, what? Oh my god.
What are you doing? What is happening? Where is he going?
The is going on. What is going on? We got to get out of here.
Holy He just broke the whole thing. John, we're not going to get out of here. He just smashed.
Let's go, bro. We're going to look like we're part of it. Exactly.
We're going to look like we're part of it if we stay here. Let's go. Why?
What just happened? I don't know. He literally broke the case.
The look on your faces. Oh, look at our face for what? Wait, what?
What? This is my buddy. This is my store.
Huh? Okay, let me get this straight. You used to rob jewelry stores and now you own one.
It's called being reformed. Then is this the jewelry you robbed? Why the dude?
You just scared the out of us. Wait, what? Why?
Why did you just have to get arrested? I'm literally shaking right now. Wait, so this is all a prick.
Yeah. And that's how you rob a jewelry store. That was the worst example ever.
Oh, dude. You broke your own case. Why did you do that?
Nah, we're renovating next week. I thought it added up perfect with the with the filming and everything. That was horrible.
Dude, you're a psychopath. Okay, you know what? We got to get out of here.
You guys want to look around? Come on. No.
A good deal. We're done. Sick of this.
That was the worst idea we've ever had. You could say that again. It wasn't that bad.
What? Look at Drw. I got a diamond necklace.
Put it back. Why? Put it back.
Fine. Now, it's time to move on to the next criminal. And for this one, we're actually going to be robbing a famous YouTuber's house.
All right, guys. This is David. He's an ex-convict who robbed over 200 houses in less than 4 years.
200? Well, that's almost a house a week. Oh my god.
And how are you not in jail? I was got sentenced to 10 years, made it out in 2020. What?
You guys ready to break in your first house? Yes. No.
Yeah. Wait, what? Put these on.
Oh, wait. Why would we put these on? These are so noticeable.
Exactly. Anyone who sees us will think we're workers. Oh, so uh whose house are we robbing anyway?
It's a YouTuber's house. What? Yeah.
Wait, who? Okay, so a few months ago, he told me that I can come back anytime I want, even when he's not there. Yo, this house is really cool.
Thanks, bro. You're welcome here anytime. Really?
Yeah. Oh, cool. Sick.
Yeah. Okay. Oh, I don't think that's what he meant.
Okay, dude. Whose house is this? Look at all the nice cars.
I'm not telling you. Okay. Wait.
So, how are we supposed to get inside? Wo. Slow down there, buddy.
First, we need to knock on the door. Okay. Well, you're the criminal.
Why don't you do X criminal? Okay, ex criminal. I got it.
I got it. Okay. What happens if we knock on the door and they actually are inside?
Play it off. Tell him you're a Girl Scout. Act like we're selling cookies.
I'm not going to do that. Go. All right.
Oh my god. I feel like we're going to get caught. He's knocking.
He's not talking right now. Oh my god. No one's answered for about a minute, so they must not be home.
Okay. All right. We're good.
So clear. No one's home. Oh sh No, it doesn't.
They're not home. What? This guy's an amateur, man.
Bro, what are you doing? Now that we know no one's home, it's time to break in. All right, let's do this.
So, where do we go? Follow me. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What? What? Cameras.
Huh? Stay close to me. Climb.
Oh my god. What is What are you serious? I did not sign up for this.
So, where are we going? Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. Right here.
Side window. That's perfect. Wait, why is it perfect?
72% of people don't lock their side windows or doors. What? That's so funny because literally 72% of people watching this video right now are not subscribed, bro.
Subscribe. Subscribe. Shut up.
Subscribe. Subscribe. Open sesame.
Did you do that so easily? You do the honors. I have to climb in there.
That's right. Drw. All right, we're clear.
Come in. Done. Drw, guys.
Side door. The door's open the whole time. Wait, what?
The door's open. Wa. This is way easier.
Dude, I can't believe we're actually here. I know. This must be a huge YouTuber cuz look how nice he is.
Touch anything. Why? Fingerprints.
Unless you're carrying it out of here, don't touch anything, sir. Yes, sir. True.
Most people get caught if they're in the house for more than five minutes. So, let's split into teams of two and see how much we can grab. Dumb.
You're with Drw. Why do I get Drw? Now that we're split up, we only have 5 minutes to rob the place and get out or we'll risk getting arrested.
People leave their stuff in the most obvious places. So, I always check the master bedroom closet first. But before we went to the master closet, he made a stop on the way.
Wait, you think they hid something in the pillowcase? We need a bag to put everything in. Oh.
Okay. Okay. David and Bren are upstairs.
I think it's fair that we take the downstairs. Let's do it. Somebody's room.
I see a laptop. Okay. Laptop.
That could be something. Oh my god. Dude, he has so many nice things.
First things first, check the drawers. And one by one, we checked each drawer until we found what we came here for. Bingo.
Oh my god. What is that? Oh my god.
How much do you think all these watches cost? Definitely over a half a million dollars. Really?
Loose money just hanging around here. That's always a good thing. Dude, look at that.
What is that, bro? Holy. We found the dude.
There's like 15 PS5s, dude. They're all full. Oh my god.
And while Drw and Dom were loading up their gaming consoles, I started asking him some questions. So, what is something that you'll take versus something that you won't take? Like, how do you decide?
Well, for example, something like this, it's too big. So, you're going to look for more jewelry, cash laying around kind of things. What?
What about this? Look, there's like iPhones and stuff over here. Oh, I like that.
Very well done. Oh, and I see something over here. Look at this.
What? What? This is what we're looking for.
A safe. Oh my god. Yes, it needs a key.
Look. Oh, these rich people, they'll usually just leave the key out. They don't care.
Sometimes they even just have it open. There we go, baby. Cash money.
Oh my god. Meanwhile, Dom and Drw were stealing a TV. Dude, Brent is going to be so stoked.
Dude, there's no way he got anything as good as this. We got like 15 PS5. Go slower.
How do you go faster? Go go go. Drw.
Shut up. People hear us slower. Oh my god.
Bro, the whole screen is coming out. Dude. All right.
Well, now it's completely worthless. Bro, are you serious? While Dom and Drw were breaking things, we were finishing robbing the upstairs.
I say we go check on Drw and Dom. Yeah, let's do it. Wouldn't be surprised if they got caught by now.
Yeah, right. What the hell are you two doing, Drw? Dude, I was seeing if they had any good snacks.
And look, they have levels, dude. Oh, well, that's kind of good. Yeah, levels in the bag, dude.
We're hungry, though. All right, guys. It's almost been 5 minutes.
Let's do our final sweep and get the heck out of here. All right, sounds good. Yes, sir.
Last sweep. We do the garage for the big ticket items. Oh my gosh, there's so much stuff in here.
Why does he have a photo of Lexi? Wait, what? What is this doing here?
Yeah, where is Lexi anyway? What do you mean where's Lexi? You never bring her on these things.
No, shut up. I'm just saying. I mean, people like Lexi.
Oh, yeah, they do. I'm kind of better than you. Huh?
It is a nice photo. You should put it in the bag. I'm home.
What are you talking about? What's that? Is that the door?
Someone's at the door. Who is it? She's definitely home.
We don't know that. Okay. We have a gun.
I'll I'll go check. Okay. All right.
Good idea. Go, go, go. What is it?
I don't know. There's no one there. What?
And there's a there's a pizza on the floor. Oh, dude. That's my pizza.
Wait. Move. You You got a pizza delivered?
I was hungry, bro. Why would you order a pizza to the house for Robin? Yeah.
No pizza. Let's go. I was hungry.
Just grab your stuff and let's go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Hurry.
We're good. We're good. Grab the pizza.
Grab the pizza. Go. Why am I grabbing the pizza?
Let's go. Get out of here. Go, go, go.
Wait, what is this? Don't worry about that. Oh my god.
Yes. That was exhilarating. I could see why you did that for over 4 years.
Yeah, it was really nostalgic for me. It was bringing back a lot of good memories. That was fun.
All right. Well, now we got to return all this stuff. You can't keep it.
Why? Why did he even steal it then? Because we were simulating what he did, dude.
just got two brand new PS5. All right, come on. Let's go put it back.
Let us keep one. No, just put on his porch. Okay.
Well, while we can't return his TV, let's move on to the next criminal, and he likes to scam people with balls. Guys, this is Ernest, and he's going to show us how one of the most common scams work. Do it.
This scam is called the ball and cup game. Scammers get tourists to bet their money in a game that's impossible to win. The real trick in some of this stuff is they're doing moves inside a hand where you see it go in one spot.
They're moving it around and you're looking for it. You don't know where it's at. Now, the idea is you might think it's one of these two, right?
And if if they do it right, it's under any of them. I mean, this is totally a hustle. You don't actually see it.
Get out of there. But as you move them around in that motion, you know, again, they're still too empty, but one is still there. This is crazy.
What? Bro, my mind's about to explode. I think that we should go out there and try and find a guy that's doing this in public.
And because you know the game, I feel like we should try and scam the scammer. Oh, I like that. All right, so we made it to Santa Monica Pier.
The perfect place for a scam like this to happen, right? Exactly. This is exactly where these guys want to be.
It's like a lot of high foot traffic. You got people that are traveling. I'll show you guys what to look for.
Let's take a walk and take a look. All right, I feel like this should be easy. Let's do this.
And even though it was super crowded, we weren't having much luck finding a scammer. Do you guys see anything? No, not yet.
I don't get it, bro. It cannot be this hard to get scammed. And after a few more minutes of searching, we finally found our target.
They know what they're doing. They already build a crowd. Oh, really?
Okay, so just look for a crowd of people. Okay, got it. Yo, I think I found it.
There's a big crowd like right there. Oh, it's got to be something, right? Is it something?
It's got to be. First of all, this looks like a total scam because if you look Okay, so there's this guy that's here with the checkered shirt. Wait, you're saying that he's in on it?
And now it's time for us to see if this guy is actually a scammer. People are just like walking up. Oh no, I'm not filming.
I'm not filming. Turn it off. I'm not off.
And as we got there, this guy was in the middle of getting scammed. Look, and he's already lost. All right, I'm out of here.
Wait, so did you decide to play that game? Yeah. Yeah, I lost.
Wait, what happened? I lost. You lost?
Did you know that's a scam, right? Yeah, that that that game's usually a cheating game. And I would always advise people not even to go up and look at it.
And they make it look like a game, but there's no way you're going to win. There there's there's a group of Don't give him any money. It's a scam.
This guy any money scam bullsh is not happy about that, bro. And since more and more people were about to get scammed, we decided to scam the scammer. Ernest is going to tell us which cup the ball is under by giving us a secret sign.
So this means left cup, this means middle cup, this means right cup. Yeah. Okay.
All right. You guys got that? Okay.
So, Drw's going to bet and I'll put on these meta glasses to record the entire thing. Then we walked over and put the plan in action. What?
