Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
All of the filming equipment is gone.
Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone.
Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
It’s been almost an hour.
I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
Reward for anything found.

Really enjoying Stuart Laws live on @nextupcomedy. I’d try and say something clever about it but I think he’s used up all the clever? Anyway, if you miss it I’d really recommend tuning into the catchup down the line, assuming he’s included in that. #edfringe2024

UPDATE: Sorted now thanks to very helpful humans in airport. San Jose airport

Hi @Delta am stuck at Costa Rica airport with a connecting flight to London that leaves before our first flight arrives, there are no representatives to help and both messaging and phone lines cut us off. Can you please help?

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

@BadBoing @Delta Thanks! Got charged £100 for a customer services call that got cut off which hasn’t helped things but am living in hope

@LiZaOutlives You've also outlived a gerbil named Bubbles from London, FYI. He was two-and-a-half and saw it as his job to collect hay from around the cage for his busy brother.

Went to a screening for #BabyReindeer earlier in the week, one of those shows you just sit in silence after watching for a bit. In a good way. And it’s funny, too, don’t get me wrong. But, yes, blimey, it’s a lot! A good, whole lot. I’ll stop now. (Out 11 April on Netflix.)

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

@O2 hello - I tried to pay off my device plan (£271) and it has now been mistakenly registered as a debt on my account and I’ve received alarming messages about credit ratings. This has been going on for a month and no one on the phones seems able to help. Can someone please fix.

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

@detective_truth @LukeCustardtv Hello! Yes please, that sounds like fun. Do you want to DM me?

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

It’s channel rebrand Wednesday, everyone! RIP CBS Reality, long live #TrueCrime (not to be confused with the True Crime channel that Sony launched then closed in 2019)

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

This is absolutely fantastic #EastEnders

[maisie spackman @maisiespackman]

I have a brand new #EastEnders The Six theory which I am calling The Beale Paradox so strap in and enjoy bc it’s a bit insane🧵

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

God I wish @BarrelComedy’s Big Show was on @nextupcomedy all year round. Such a funny way to spend the evening. (Please someone now tell me that somehow it is?!? Even if it’s a lie.) #EdFringe

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

I think I'm still reeling from @avitalash's show on @nextupcomedy last night. The title, Avital Ash Workshops Her Suicide Note, should be taken quite literally. In fact I'm definitely still reeling because I got her name totally wrong the first time I typed that. Wowser #EdFringe

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

@Sticklemouse @nextupcomedy @lulu_popplewell I kept thinking, if it’s like that through a screen then what is it like *in the room*?!

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

Tonight’s @nextupcomedy stream of @lulu_popplewell’s show is going to live in my brain for quite a while. If there’s a catch-up week later on I’d really like to watch it again. One of the most ‘live’ shows I’ve ever seen. #EdFringe

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

No, the sound of the aircon didn’t come through (unlike the planes for Mark Watson on Saturday), but TBH, it just made the whole moment funnier. Not that @Iansmithcomedy’s ferocious Crushing on @nextupcomedy needs the help. #EdFringe

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

I love coming into these live-streamed #EdFringe shows on @nextupcomedy knowing nothing about them, then shouting “yes!!!” out loud at the end. That was very much the case with @performingnerd tonight. Roll on the rest of the week…

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

I couldn’t make it to #EdFringe this year *but* I am having a lovely time watching the live streams on ⁦@nextupcomedy⁩. Some planes just buzzed ⁦@watsoncomedian⁩’s set, so it’s all go tonight

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

And also the Louis Theroux comparison with Nathan Fielder, which never occurred to me before.

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

Maybe I haven't watched enough TV, but I have *never* seen anything like The Rehearsal before. The detail is utterly extraordinary. It's like someone has decided to change the fabric of the world.

[Robin Wiggs @robin_wiggs]

I realise that sounds like an overstatement, but I've been consistently floored throughout the first episode.
