Charlie, if you’re wondering about what the inside of the Toys-R-Us bunker looked like, why not have Roofman on the podcast and ask him yourself? Many (most?) prisoners are happy to talk about their experiences and he would be a good source to ask directly (even though prisoners sometimes exaggerate). You’re certainly big enough that he is unlikely to refuse. Food for thought.
He had the perfect skill set: he used to be a commando who owned a roofing business but had his family killed in a horrible McDonalds incident. Ultimate villain back story
Considering how peacefully he accepted the first arrest and how hard he avoided the second, I feel like this is more evidence of how horrible America's prison system is.
I’m not entirely sure why he chose to rob the restaurants this way, but my guess is he really just needed an excuse to rappel down from the roof. He was probably insanely bored. It’s just dope as hell.
DUDE! I remember watching this news LIVE. So here's why he went through the roof: he would cut a hole in the roof and get in the in-between space. He waited until the restaurant closed and they had taken all the money to the back. Then, with the store locked up, but before they put it in the safe, he would drop down and rob them. He often brought a bag of goodwill sweaters and passed them to the employees when he asked them to wait in the walk-in fridge. Many employees refused to identify him and spoke highly of him.
He is already living in the attic of that viewer's house. He escaped years ago. No one detected his escape because he created a convincing robotic decoy with advanced AI using a garbage can, a mop, VCR motors, and an iPhone
As a former Toys R Us employee that worked the bike section and someone who had to help tear down the store after it went under, I can confirm there is a decent amount of space behind the bike racks. He wouldn't have been doing any jumping jacks back there but he would have had about a 3 ft wide room to move around and stand in certain areas. I cant guarantee all stores were like this though.
This man is just an incredible survivalist. He's aware he's doing wrong when he told the police they did a good job. Makes me wonder if this guy was doing this to test himself, for fun, or for some other reason.
This guy isn’t even unlikable. Through the whole vid I was rooting for him and his crazy ass schemes. Also, I would pay so much for a movie about this guy

this man really took the whole "I am living in your walls" thing to heart.
Imagine working at this specific Toys 'R' Us store not knowing there is this super genius engineer/thief/craftsman living under the roof.

He’s one of those guys the teachers said “if he’d only apply himself” about.
The whole donating stolen toys part makes him sound almost like a modern day Robin Hood. Almost.
