And they're like, Why don't you go after all these housewives, you know, and stuff like that.

But the brands don't always have the budget.

You know, so they don't they don't call me for that stuff.

I mean, they may call someone else because I don't do a lot of fieldwork anymore.

But but there's a lot of stuff still happening outside of like the major retail locations and malls and things like that.

You'll still find like if you do a search on local on local news on Google, you'll still see shops.

And like there was a shop in Long Island that was selling a lot of fake handbags and things like that.

So you'll still see them.

But yeah, it's not like it used to be or back in the day.

They were just openly on the streets because now they're there.

You know, you can get arrested for a felony for doing that.

know stuff like that just it used to be a thousand pieces you would need a thousand pieces to quantify you know a felony or to qualify for a felony now it's kind of a cheat but they use the um they use the uh retail price so one rolex watch would be you know 10 times a felony so it's cheating in a way i always think you know every industry kind of cheats and flouts their uh

their own acumen or whatever you want to call it, their successes by saying, around Super Bowl time, you'll always see $1 billion worth of jerseys seized in Chicago or something like that.

Well, that's because each jersey, they use the retail price or the potential retail price of 300 bucks, stuff like that.

And same thing with Rolex watches and stuff.

So the numbers are inflated.

So I always, I always like to know how many pieces they got.

Cause to me, that's important because that's really from an investigator.

That's the booty right there is, did you get a thousand pieces or you get 300,000 pieces?

And, um, you know, that's, that's where you're actually doing some good, getting some stuff off the street, you know, is taking a major warehouse down and stuff like that.
