of all these things i noticed the aspirin and lightbulbs were gone days later

Back in 98 we had a model that set us up for an ambush. Nothing was stolen but few guys got swollen. I do not miss my days of shooting at all ;)

I learned long ago to turn the tables on them..

I take their makeup,tampons and anything else cool they have in their purse home to my girl.. they get paid enough, so they can buy more...

This is the pirates booty that I have pillaged from them...

I'm kidding of course.. fuck thieving ass models though..

Yep. I can relate.

I make them turn their cell phones off while they are shooting. They are here to work, not text etc. If their phone dies, that's even better.

I had a model steal a check from the back of my checkbook then write a check for 1k to her friend. When the check hit my account, I got a copy of it then searched MySpace for the name on the check. Found the model on the girls friends list and took care of it from there.

LMFAO! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I love you bro. :thumbsup

Theft
 

All things considered I have been lucky, very little taken. One time I shot a girl who brought a girlfriend, I shot the girlfriend too because she needed Christmas money, she repaid me by taking all my toys and some wrapped Christmas gifts I had stashed in the wardrobe room. Early on when I didn't know better, I let a boyfriend sit in and he kept leaving for a "smoke". After they left I discovered an entire camera outfit gone. They denied it. I used to shoot for a website that went out of business, they liked total amateur black girls with big butts and big tits, nearly 100% of whom had babies at home. I would shoot them and their friends all in the same day, they would pile in the car and come out and I would even feed them. Afterwards all my toilet paper stash, soap, and general bathroom supplies would be gone and all my drawers and cabinets would have been gone through. One time a girl took a dump and flooded the bathroom and instead of telling me she said she was stepping out for a smoke and never came back. What a mess. Another girl took her lunch break to look for a place to get some smokes and never came back, leaving all her worthless stuff. A week later I saw her sitting in the grass smoking and drinking beer with a local homeless drunk. One time I ran across a deal on a box of panties, about 300, for sale for $10 bucks, I bought it and put it in my wardrobe room. After about a year one of the girls took all that was left, she probably got 200 or more. I had the most trouble with male talent who would take food from my fridge out to their car. I used to keep a bucket I put my change into and male talent would take money out of it. Never did girl talent take my change or my food. Usually if I find something the girls leave behind I will mail it to them, it takes time and effort to do that but it is remarkable what a good impression it makes on the girl. One time I actually got robbed by a girl and three guys. But overall I feel my girls have been very honest. We need another thread of interesting stories.

Ya, LOL, I get that here, too...especially funny when a girl tells me, or Rob, that she has never...but one of us has, and has shown the other...LOL!
* wake up ladies *

Sounds funny but, yeah, they think they can take anything because you saw them naked, and now feel like everything is free to them..most of them are spoiled already..:2 cents:

No, most of them are broke as fuck.

The "spoiled" girls are usually awesome to work with as they are doing it strictly for fun.

it largely depends on the quality of girls u are booking

If youre booking crackhead broke Street girls for $100 bj aka stree hookers they are much more likely to steal than well paid pro model

Check fraud, kidnapping, extortion
 

First I have to say that I have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful models who were great human beings.

Now for some of the others, not so much


Check fraud
$1800 check written off my checkbook made out to one of my model's friends. Fortunately the signature was so off that I received full credit back. Had to close the account though which was a major pain in the ass.

Credit fraud
two separate credit cards stolen and used

Cash, bras, panties, tattoo cover-up, dresses, alcohol, sun glasses, and I once caught a model once stuffing the duvet cover from the Palms hotel in her suitcase. I had to explain to her that unlike towels, hotels would notice something like that missing and charge me for it.

3 cell phones + a few chargers

NOW HERE IS WHERE IT GETS WIERD, REALLY WIERD


Kidnapping
A model's friend called me needing $200 to free my model from some drug gang. I wound up sending her $70 just so she would stop calling me.

Extortion
A would be model called and asked for $200 because a guy she was staying with took the mini-fridge out of her motel room and the motel manager was holding her there till she either paid him $200 for fridge, he was then going to call the police at the end of the day. She actually put the manager on the phone with me, he sounded legit so I sent her $100.

More Extortion
More than once a model has threatened to scream through my neighborhood about what's going on at my place or even call the police and turn me in (for what?) if I didn't pay her more. Of course I am always more than fair with my models and explain upfront what they are getting but that doesn't seem to matter with some of these girls. The really amusing part is that these same girls will call the following week asking when can they shoot again!

Gas Money
A few models would call me begging for gas money so they could come shoot, I have huge stack of western union receipts no joke! Of course they never seem to make it to the shoot.


All in all I chalk it up to the cost of doing business, it basically goes with the territory doesn't it? as someone mentioned earlier in this thread, for the most part these models act under a sense of entitlement because they got naked.

I dont steal from them
I accidently leave my shit at their place

Why are you letting your models hang around long enough to steal that much stuff?..

have you ever shot content?

Aaron. I bet you look smokin hot in the Costume Jewelry


Sad to see that sort of thing happens.

Nope, that's why I asked.. :upsidedow

Stop hiring crack heads

I've only had one model steal from me and that was Sabrina Maree.

She scammed me out of $1500 :Oh crap

i thought so :winkwink:

they are on location for 6-8 (or more) hours and you can't look over their shoulders all the time - impossible

Actually a lot of guys shoot out of their own places especially since POV became what it is today.
Often they'll have a designated room setup for shoots with its own bathroom for girls .. its so easy for them to walk in and just steal whatever they want

The guys who own HTM have been dumb enough to lend several models money. 98% of time they never see the money again, and the girl never works with them again either. One of them got laid for it, though.

I've been shooting longer than most but I can't remember ever getting anything stolen on set. I'm pretty vigilant though and I don't leave stuff laying around in the open. I've lost a few hundred bucks on plane tickets where the model never showed up, but nothing missing from my house or another set.

One of ours stole in iPad and for the life of me I have no idea when he was along and had time to get it! There were 2 of us there and I thought we watched him the entire time!

iPod
bottle of cologne in bathroom
CDs
loose change
wallet
cell phones

Now keep in mind this is a list of shooting over 15 years!

Gotta watch those shady models who are willing to get naked in front of a camera for cash!

For future reference, "holding" someone against their will is considered false imprisonment, which is a crime. Next time, encourage the "manager" to "call the police" that minute or offer to gladly do it for him. :winkwink:

One dumb whore (or should I say smart whore) stole her model release. I could not prove it so offered her $100 to come back and fill out a new one. Otherwise my content would have been worthless and a couple thousand doown the drain. Her name? JOEY MORRISON

For the record I don't hire crack heads

These girls were all on heroin or crystal meth.

It wasn't like I placed an ad for drugged up models. I had a few IE (Inland Empire) models who recruited a bunch of their friends to me, who in turn recruited some of their friends, this went on for a few years till I realized enough was enough and severed my ties to the whole county!

The good news is that it gave me the impetus to start a whole new recruiting campaign which has been extremely successful :) Actually finally shooting the long awaited Bachelorette Party 3 with 5 of my new models who I am fairly sure won't be stealing anything. What I do though with my new models is give them the same horror stories I mentioned in this thread so they are aware I am mindful when things go missing.


When my old IE models call me up I just offer them $500 if they can complete a drug program but so far no model has taken me up on it. For some reason getting clean is the least of their priorities.

:kisskiss

I know of a model that picked up the tape after the scene and left, she had just gotten paid cash of course :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I never had a model steal from me during a shoot.

One time I paid half of modeling fee in advance and I never heard of that model again. Some of her friends avoided me for years and would not want to work for me anymore because they were afraid of me asking them where to find her. I found that out 15 years later when I saw one of them on Facebook. One bad puppy ruined it all for their sisters.

Another time a model took the freebies in my hotel's bathroom like soap, shampoo and tooth paste. I freaked out and told her to put it back. She did, but could not understand why I wouldn't allow her taking the stuff.

Really - good luck!

You shoot in Costa Rica? I did a few shoots there with hustlers...no problems but we only did a few there over the years.

The girls on your new site certainly don't look lime crack heads....

hawwwwttttness.
Nice site!

Post some here this thread needs some boobs!

^^^ This is true. I know it for a fact. ;-)

One model stole a USB wireless for the keyboard and later on asked me to look at why this "USB stick" does not work, then I asked her where she got it from, she said she picked up the logitech mem stick in the shop yesterday :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh made fun of her for like 20 hours strait :1orglaugh

I was wondering the same thing.

And I do not find this response 100% valid:

because of this response:

This response proves that its all about how you manage things (things as in things and things as the shooting).

Details?

Sanity
Virginity
and some fruit loops

We had a model who was stealing minor things off of desks etc. When we confronted her she denied it. So we showed her video of security footage of her stealing framed pictures off the wall (really!). As she gathered her things and was about to leave, she stopped at the kitchen and put a bottle of wine in her bag. When she passed one of the desks she grabbed a stapler, both right in front of us. When we asked her to put the wine and stapler back she said "what wine and stapler"? What a nut.

Don't think a chick could be hot enough for that to be okay :1orglaugh

My virginity

Sort of extortion $1 500 because i was kind of dumb ass ...

cheese , yep they like the Blue Cheese , 1 UK model took it 2 times on different occasions.
