EP 249: The Petty Crime Starter Pack
Shownotes
Nearly 250 episodes in, we've realized something:
New listeners might not be making it to the stories.
So this week, we're doing something different.
If you've ever wondered what Live, Laugh, Larceny is all about—or you've been looking for the perfect episode to share with a friend—this is it.
Trevin's Dreadful Dilemma sparks a complete format flip, as the crew creates a starter pack for new listeners and revisits some of the funniest, weirdest, and most unforgettable petty crimes we've covered over the years.
Within the first few minutes, we revisit one of our favorite stories: Madonna's lawsuit over an allegedly lewd concert performance, complete with memories of Trevin's parody song, Knockers.
Then it's time for the Top 5 Live, Laugh, Larceny Crimes We Can't Stop Thinking About, featuring:
🐾 Joseph Stroud, the Arkansas man who decorated a rival's grave with dead animals
🚌 Jinhuan Chen, the bus driver who accidentally consumed edibles while working
🛗 Patricia Ann Jamison and one of the most infamous elevator incidents we've ever covered
🏺 Mitchell Vest, whose unusual relationship with antiques took him to some very unexpected places
…and one more all-time favorite crime from the archives.
Then we jump into a recent case featuring Jalen Godard, whose attempt to rob a Verizon store goes sideways when his own truck is stolen during the crime.
Finally, Amanda brings a brand-new story from Wetumpka, Alabama, where Beverly Roberts and Mary Alston find themselves at odds with local officials after helping stray cats through a trap-neuter-release program.
Whether you're a longtime listener or discovering us for the first time, this episode is a crash course in everything that makes Live, Laugh, Larceny weird, ridiculous, and wonderfully petty.
Take a break from the heavy and get petty.
