Two guys in Gold Coast area of Australia stole a penguin from Sea World
Full Episode
So this guy got arrested for stealing a penguin? Now his name is Rhys and Rhys is 21. He's a Welsh contractor living in Australia. And one day in 2012, he does one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of. So he's chilling at home with his friend, this guy, Carrie. Carrie's 20. And they're hanging out at this apartment and they decide, hey, let's go out and get drunk.
And pretty quickly, they're off to the bar to get a few beers. And after they're there a while, they end up at a party on the beach. And at this beach party, they're really hitting the liquor hard. Like they end up drinking a liter and a half of vodka between them, which is almost an entire bottle. And as the night rolls on, they're having a great time. And so they just keep drinking.
And one of their local buddies joins them. His name's James. And between Reese, Carrie, and James, one of them has the worst suggestion ever. One of them's like, hey, you know what's right next to us? What's that? SeaWorld. Want to break in? All right. And pretty quickly, Reece, Kerry, and James are breaking into SeaWorld Australia.
And so they're there in the park and they're wasted walking around, checking things out. And I guess they come across the shark enclosure and they're like, yeah, sharks. And so they go inside and they find a fire extinguisher and they start playing with that and they're spraying it all over the place for some reason, just causing havoc.
Then they go over to the dolphin tanks and one of them's like, I'm going to get in. And he starts stripping down and one of the others films it because, you know, you got to film your crimes.
I'm going in there, man. Look at the dolphins. Yo, look at them. Let's go get a penguin, man. We're begging for them.
Now, I don't know if you heard that, but he said, let's go get a penguin. Let's go get a penguin, man. Because this is when they get the bright idea that they're going to steal a penguin. And so they make their way over to the penguin enclosure, which it's weird none of these enclosures seem to be locked.
But then again, maybe the people who run SeaWorld just assume no one is going to be dumb enough to break in and steal a whole ass penguin. But anyways, they get to where the colony of penguins are chilling.
And I don't know if one specific bird catches their eye or if one of them is closer to them than some of the others, but they scope out the penguins and they decide they're going to take this little guy. His name's Dirk. Now, let's talk about Dirk for a second. Dirk is seven years old and he was born in captivity. And so he's lived in an enclosure his whole life. And he's just a little guy.
