Get ready to be infuriated.\xa0\n
\n\nTiana Notice wanted nothing to do with her ex-boyfriend, James Carter. He\u2019d seemed perfect at first, but it didn\u2019t take long for Tiana to see his true colors. So she dumped him. But like a true shithead, James refused to take no for an answer. He called her constantly. He stalked her. Tiana went to the police for help several times. In fact, over the course of six weeks, she visited her local police station 33 times. But the police never took Tiana seriously.\xa0\n
\n\nThen Kristin lightens the mood with the story of a hilariously stupid heist. David Ghantt worked as a vault supervisor for Loomis Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina. David made very little money, but was surrounded by so much of it that he went home every night reeking of cash. It was annoying, to say the least. So when his crush, Kelly Campbell, came to him with an idea to steal all the money from the vault, David went along with the plan. He\u2019d steal $17.3 million dollars from the vault, and he\u2019d keep one third of it. But he wouldn\u2019t get the money right away. He\u2019d need to hide out in Mexico for a while. Kelly and the rest of the money would *definitely* join him later.\xa0 \xa0\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
