Houston Man Gets Free Beer For Life For Finding Stolen Bus watch!

youtube.com — A Houston Bar called Lucky's recently had their "Party Bus" stolen. So, the Rod Ryan morning show on 94.5 The Buzz, put out a bounty. The owner of Lucky's Bar said the first person who finds the bus gets free beer for life, at his bar. Not even 2 hours later, some lucky bastard found the bus, and called into the radio show!

  • Bukowsky, on 04/25/2008, -3/+58I swear to god... I was listening to this whole thing unfold LIVE on the radio. Freakin' Hilarious that the local news here in Houston covered it, and then posted the video on YouTube!

    Apparently, the bus was found about five miles from my house, at Katy Mills Mall. (but I didn't take it) What a lucky bastard!
    • spectre, on 04/25/2008, -0/+15Dugg for the disclaimer, 'but I didn't take it'.
      • thcobbs, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4My guess is that the guy who "found" it had something to do with that.
      • Bukowsky, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I wish i would've found it though!
    • themastersb, on 04/25/2008, -13/+3I hate when people make up fake stories
      • InsaneMachine, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4So what if it's fake, not implying it is, if it is fake, then he is only deluding himself.
      • JBmtk, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4Don't you just hate people like this?
      • pushmouse, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8People should only make up real stories.
        • RetroRufio, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I burst in to laughter reading your comment, well done.
    • PabloMac, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10I would find two stolen buses for free beer for life.
    • jeremyrayne, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3We listen to the Rod Ryan Show every morning here at work. I ended up at Katy Mills Mall at around 11AM, and the bus and news crews were all gone by then.
    • clarionhaze, on 04/26/2008, -3/+1Turns out this was an inside job to get the bounty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU
    • jackalsclaw, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2how long until someone steals the bus again , just to collect the reward?
  • RorObSN, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6This is my dream! This is one lucky fellow...
    • JosefH, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1The American Dream--Free Beer and Sex.
    • diggduggjoe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Maybe not, someday in the future we find the guy dead in a pool of his own vomit.

      It would be cool to walk into that bar anytime in the future and get a cold one, though
  • ennTOXX, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8What a lucky bastard. CHUG CHUG CHUG!... :||
    • bot001220, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Good for Lucky's, but why did the guy who found it have to be an ASU burnout?

      I guess there's no question as to whether or not he'll stop by every day for beer.
  • jonxblaze, on 04/25/2008, -0/+89I wonder what the offer will be if someone stole the Playboy bus???
    • JLecker, on 04/25/2008, -2/+56Or the Bangbus, for that matter.
      • thcobbs, on 04/25/2008, -2/+29That's easy.... Herpes.
        • IglooBurner, on 04/25/2008, -2/+8cup's always half empty for you?
        • degron, on 04/25/2008, -1/+12Oh I think his cup is full, there was even a video floating around about it.
      • yohnstoppable, on 04/25/2008, -1/+26You'll be rewarded by hearing some douchebag yell "yeah, bro! side wall her dude! yeah, dude, yeah!"

        God I hate bangbus
    • TheScreamer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13A lifetime's supply of hand lotion ;)
    • Devrdander, on 04/25/2008, -0/+49You get a lifetime of sex with Hugh Hefner... Enjoy!
      • klipseracer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I'll take that. A foursome sounds good!!!! or fivesome. Whatever he wants.
    • chrishiggins, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Free beer still.
  • nitroburn, on 04/25/2008, -0/+15Cory seemed apprehensive about hugging the short bus.
  • RonnyIsRondo, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4Dreams do come true.
    • AppleGeorge, on 04/28/2008, -1/+1I came all over your Mom's face last night, bitch.
      • TrevorBelmont, on 04/28/2008, -1/+2What the ***** is wrong with you? Try civility for a change.
        • AppleGeorge, on 04/29/2008, -2/+1The dude is my friend, and I litterally ***** his Mom, so shut up you little faggot.
        • RonnyIsRondo, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1He didnt really BUT my dad did his mom.
  • radarbeam, on 04/25/2008, -3/+7What if that guys decides to pay a few rounds for all his friends?
  • zmigliozzi, on 04/25/2008, -3/+2This needs to happen in every major city.
  • CyberSol, on 04/25/2008, -10/+1Lol wut?
  • battletrax, on 04/25/2008, -19/+2So if i find some stolen cocaine, i can get free cocaine for life?
  • Mier, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13He can have 3 pints a day. I think that'd be a fair deal for life or life of the bar whichever ends first.
    • AtWorkSurfer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8In the long run I think it would be cheaper for Lucky's to give him all the beer he wants - maybe he'll die of pancreatitis or liver failure in 5-10 years and they can be done with it.
  • MISking, on 04/25/2008, -2/+9Rod Ryan is the best DJ in Houston, not surprised to see him support Lucky's to find their bus. This takes Free Beer Friday to a New Level!
    • sonar_un, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3I wouldn't say the best DJ in Houston (Although, Houston does have some pretty crappy DJ's all around)

      This would be the best Free Beer Friday though :)
    • Kotoyumu, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0Yeah Rod Ryan isn't the best DJ in Houston, Mad Hatta from 97.9 still holds that position, way longer than Rod Ryan. Rod Ryan might of been good in New Orleans, but doesn't have anything on Mad Hatta
  • consoneo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Talk about publicity.. lol
  • misterteenwolf, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5now thats a story you can tell your grandkids
  • Rwned, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2great story.
  • Miamisun, on 04/25/2008, -0/+38I bet ya the guy who stole it is the guy who found it. QUICK! Fingerprint that bus!
  • rivalius13, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I'd just ask him to get me beer all night. He'd have to make an individual trip for everyone that is in the group, but we'd all drink for free!
    • jackalsclaw, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1if the bar is stupid, they could just give him 14 coupons every week and the coupons expire after a month
  • raisinbrainMMM, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6Publicity stunt.
  • Jsmuli2, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2A Fratboy's dream.
  • Stuchus, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5Now was this an act of theft or a night of getting hammered and not remembering where your car was? It looks like to me the bus was parked in a parking lot, which I'm pretty sure if someone was going to steal a bus that noticeable, they aren't about to park it in a parking lot.
    Also Cory, just hung the damn van.
    Dugg
  • xChunk, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10"Cory give it a hug, it's back."
  • ColonelJessup, on 04/25/2008, -4/+5KICK ASS! If I were to get free beer for life, I would quit my job.
    • Ibox, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4What else would you have to work for?
    • klipseracer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I wouldn't. I'd keep working unless I was able to find a missing armored BANKS van.
  • sagat, on 04/25/2008, -1/+38I can see a headline on Digg a year from now: "Free Beer Dude loses job, family and home, still has free beer but only for another week when bar will be out of business."
  • Ontarian, on 04/25/2008, -4/+1Poor guy, seriously, he'll probably end up an alcoholic.
  • odanelus, on 04/25/2008, -0/+17One of the coolest pubs in Houston.

    They have a big Projector where people can play Wii sports or Guitar Hero 3 or Rock Band, it's awesome! I'm glad they got their bus back.
  • qwertyguy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Welcome to alcoholism!
  • tizzleG, on 04/25/2008, -7/+1Rod Ryan is a toolbox and his morning show sucks.

    ClearChannel killed my little brother.
  • fatwreck, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5I may have an idea about the culprits involved.

    http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/41f325e282
  • mytibt, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1I'd made sure that prize came with my first two liver transplants for free
    • Modizzle, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I'd made sure you have a lawyer before you talk to people.
  • mcfriendly, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1HMMM....tell me again...where did they park the bus?
  • neo2007, on 04/25/2008, -3/+6Cool how the owner offers "FREE BEER FOR LIFE", then attempts to weasel his way out by saying, "If we can figure out the logistics of it, yea definitely..." or "... if it is legal..." Are they going to ship him his beer? I thought it was as simple as the dude showing up at the bar, ordering a free beer. What logistics?
    • tanside, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I agree with you 100%
    • Bukowsky, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5That is what he said on the news.... that was a couple of days ago when it was filmed. He now came onto the radio and said that the guy who found the bus will be considered a VIP at his bar. And he will NEVER have to pay for his drinks... I don't know if that includes only him, or his group of friends.

      Either way... it's pretty badass!
    • sonar_un, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7When it comes to serving to alcohol, there are quite a few logistics involved, even the legality of serving beer for free.

      I am sure they have a few things to work out legally.
      • xaxxon, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2Also, there are financial things involved. If it is reported as a business expense by the bar, the dude getting the beer will have to pay taxes on that value.
  • Locnar, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2BURRRRB~!
  • aliendave, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Shenanigans.
  • cdahlkvist, on 04/25/2008, -2/+4First one to capture Osama Bin Laden (dead or alive) gets free beer for life at my bar.
  • shyboy2008, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Too bad the reward doesnt come with a liver.
    • phenolholic, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1you should try reading others' comments before you eagerly post yours. the liver reference has been used multiple times before yours
  • insanebrain, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3My liver is sooooo happy that I didn't find that bus. . .
    • phenolholic, on 04/25/2008, -4/+2you should try reading others' comments before you eagerly post yours. the liver reference has been used multiple times before yours
  • dolemite01, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Wonder how long before TABC ***** a brick. They went ape ***** when the bar here offered nickel drinks for awhile.
  • Dbeneath, on 04/25/2008, -0/+101. steal bus
    2. listen to radio
    3. ??????
    4. free beer for life!!
  • DarthTurducken, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4I've met that guy (the one sitting down). CJ, I think his name is. He owns Lucky's and is a staffer with Sportsmonkey.com, our local rec sports league.

    /No, there was no other real point to this comment, just a half-assed jaunt at microcelebrity.
    • ruski1985, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Wow, jee-whiz! And I replied to you...which may make me eligible for nanocelebrity...maybe
      • DarthTurducken, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3heh..I voted you up - just in case.
    • klipseracer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Can I have your autoselfgraphbioportrait?
  • Action54, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Jesus!! Free Beer FOR LIFE???!?!? woo woo!! what a lucky dude
  • bobdigi, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Free weight gain for life.

    Hey, I drink beer too, but if I had free beer for life, a beer gut would be sure to come.
  • persecutor, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1In other news... Lucky's bar will be closing in 3 day's and be reopening as a Hard Rock Cafe.
  • Acirn, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3God Bless Texas!
  • turbovince, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2That's a lot of money.
  • klipseracer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4It sounds like we should all take turns stealing the bus....
  • bmartin9678, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I shot the story for my station, KPRC, and put it on youtube. Thanks for watching it, I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did shooting and editing it. And no, this wasn't a publicity stunt, there is a police report, so this would be bad for the owner if he filed a false police report. Once again, I'm glad so many are watching it, I'm new to the youtube thing, it's a lot of fun seeing people react to the story. You guys rule.
  • teambosun, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Doesn't look like Cory likes the bus. I think he stole it in the first place.
  • scottmoss, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1When the guy gets divorced how do they split up the "free beer for life"....
  • chrisdancy, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1the guy who found it is hot!
    • faskippy, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2The free beer is only for him, honey. Nice try, though.
  • qwerty2159, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1"i think it's legal"
