The Weirdest Summer Crimes You’ve NEVER Heard Of

Summer is here, and so are the shenanigans! In today’s episode, Melissa and Mandy dive into some of the quirkiest (and a few wild) crimes that have taken place during the sunny season. From beachside thefts to ice cream shop heists, we’ve got it all. Get ready to hear stories about crafty criminals, unlikely heroes, and even a few strange but funny moments that make summer crime a little less scary and a lot more bizarre.

Melissa shares her thoughts on beach thefts, including a film director catching thieves stealing from surfers in Newport Beach. Then, Mandy gets into a flower-stealing arrest in Seal Beach, California, and some reflections on her own sneaky gardening tendencies. They also cover the story of a stolen truck full of camping gear, ice cream shop break-ins by both bears and thieves, and a string of boat thefts in the UK and the US.

Finally, they discuss some wild summer crimes, like stolen ATM machines, ice cream pint thefts, and even a 5-year-old boy helping to crack a lemur theft case.
