ONLINE PREDATOR STEALS MY CAMERA & RAMS MY CAR WHEN CAUGHT!

yoo I have an 89 prelude

Jorge Barajas

> mfw watching the confrontation.

SumDumGoy

Love your videos man. This one was wild & you do need to hire or find someone to be by your side just in case. Be safe out there man. :)

Djh Gaming

Handle your anger

Benjamin

I respect your ability to h

Benjamin

Holy crap dude! I remember watching this video on YT but the ending is crazy. Awesome work as always Zach!! Stay safe!

Belen Ramos

😂😂😂 That is so awkward where you have to make friends with the predator to get your stuff back

Timothy

I'm a brand new member to your Patreon and have never seen the ending to this video before... I've watched your videos on YouTube for a long time and watching this made me feel so sorry for you. Compared to how you normally speak, you sounded so out of character here and seemed (understandably) very shook up. (Hearing you yelling was certainly a new experiance!) Seeing you in a situation like this was difficult to watch... You seem like such a sweet and kind man. Please be careful, Mr.

Rose

Damn, the Arby's was disappointing 😓. At least one more down for the count 😀👍. Good Job Brother!

Colin Moran

Dude, you got Batman-level intelligence. You danced your way out of his pressure at the end so well! I thought you'd lie and say you'd delete the footage, but you didn't! And then you called him out for his lawyer parents crap! EPIC ending!

Pzap

You got in his car bless your soul Zach

J.B

this was absolutely insane

Ryan Ozenbaugh

Finally becoming a patron was such a good decision

Dani

Wow, that really was something else! I could tell how stressed you where, but you kept it up great! Good Job! (Gonna catch them all ;))

Jonas Köllinger

Wow this one was tense!! Well done sir!

Andrae

How are you taking care of your self mentally after this kind of encounters?

Sara with an H

This guy couldn’t argue anything because at the end of the day, he was trying to pick up a minor for sex. What a total loser

Led

Thank you for your service Brother!!!

J.L. Cop Pett

So respectful and nice to restaurant employees, and little do they know a predator is just meters away. Man, you are the bravest that I've seen. I appreciate your service in helping to keep kiddos safe. Our family has worked in CPS for years, and we love watching your channel. Keep up the good work!!!

J.L. Cop Pett

This is a weird one man. You're one brave, unique, cool human. And you clearly have a zest for life and making the world a better place however you can. But as a former Afghanistan-vet Marine, there's something that's drilled into us from the moment we get to bootcamp. That is "keep positive control of your weapon at all times"- which means holding on to your rifle 24/7 with at least one hand (or otherwise direct contact with it with a part of your body), with no exceptions, ever, while you're in possession of your weapon. And that extends into every piece of gear valuable to us. From scopes and NVG's (aka 'serialized gear'), to basic things like backpacks and wallets and cellphones- whatever we would be truly screwed if we lost. I keep my wallet in my front pocket, wrap one of the straps of my backpack around my leg when I'm eating at airports, etc. With glasses and cameras, just making sure you're arms-distance from someone sketchy you're interacting with is an equivalent. You're an extremely self-sufficient and capable dude, just word of advice from direct experience- always be weary of someone taking your stuff. For example I find the whole idea of 'open carry' states hilarious nonsense because if someone malicious is in your vicinity, and plans on doing something bad, you make yourself a target by being the one guy that has something that threatens them. And it's out in the open so it's a perfect opportunity for someone to plan, grab, and use against you. I'm all about CCW's though (which I'm pretty sure you have right?). Anyway, you're a badass my friend, been a fan for years. Keep up the great work, but "safety is paramount", stay safe out there my man! Takes infinite guts to do what you do.

Bigolelargeone

Words can not describe my feelings for that animal

Amy Velasco

Someone gotta say it. Zack man I don't know if you acted a certain way purely because of your position and need of a lawyer but it seemed like you got bad adrenaline control and weren't assertive enough. Your camera was in his possession way too long, you reasoned with him way too much. Either way it seems to have concluded well enough. I'm no lawyer but after he took your camera and hit your face that seems like you have the right to defend yourself from an aggressive thief and pedophile. Not tryin to knock ya, love the vids. Just curious if you acted a certain way for legal reasons or if you have any regrets 🤷

Brad Mylius

Haha that's hilarious!!

Zach Sweers

Never eat the food right before they close a fast food place... just sayin.

Hypno Phobia

"I'm not gonna screw you" *screws*

Zach Hart

Months ago I got one of your stickers and my husband called and said "um...you got a letter from Zach in Michigan" and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I'm in Minnesota. My husband said it in a voice like he wanted me to explain and I was just like ooook? And when I got home I opened the letter up and my sticker was inside and I was like OH!!! YAY!!! and I showed my husband your page and he was like Jesus Christ, that's disgusting. (Meaning the pervs, of course.)

C C

You are just gorgeous. Oh- and the video is dope :)

Avery Lowrimore

Wow this guy, does he not even consider the NEW criminal charges of destruction of property, theft, assault??? What a moron this guy is.

Sunshine

Shit Zach, that was intense! Absolute hero as always, keeping kids safe, the chat log doesn’t lie!

Ian Black

I call this guy the Betophile.

Phil Bates

He said in the bonus+ commentary video that Preston only ended up paying a couple hundred before just stopping... the damage was in the upper $3,000!!

Kristen DILLIGAF

excuse me ..why did u just fart in my face sir

Eman Ahmed

So did he actually pay you for the car to be fixed?

Александр Вагнер

Totally off topic but I’m not from the US and I always love seeing how people working customer service talks there, they sound super friendly

Sin Tea

I love how he casually eats mozzarella sticks before confronting the predator lol

Miles!

I havent heard him cuss before...

Noe

You handled this so well Zach! Your calm demeanor is amazing. I can't believe he tried begging you and tried BRIBING you to delete all the videos. You are a great guy Zach. I appreciate you and what you do!♥

Kristen DILLIGAF

this had me really worried for you !! i can not believe what went down. the fact that he calmly called you after and tried to reason about the damage he did is crazy !! i'm glad you hung up on him as savagely as you did. please take good care of yourself !!

anila !

I bet (no pun intended) he is from NY. I am from Western, NY and his verbiage is definitely ones we use. Bet is a common one. That coupled with him saying hes going out of state.

Erika LS

I actually don't think the "both my parents are lawyers" was supposed to be a threat. He was saying that he recognized your "lawyer speak" when you wouldn't say that you would delete the footage.

Alfonzo

seriously

Marie payan

wasnt expecting the fart into the mic lmao

Marie payan

lol

Zenovia

The nerve of this guy to even think that he was in a position to make demands, while fully acknowledging his crimes and that you had recorded him with your glasses.. fucking ridiculous.

Vidalia grace olson

So sad and so true.

Danielle Buhr

What's Achievement Hunter?

Salmon Of Knowledge

Saying "I didn't lie" after trying to delete footage has me in tears

Alex Bujak

This one is insane

Dr. Dynamite K11d

Bet. I really thought he was about to ask you to go grab a drink and go bowling or something.

Rob Rullo

Dude is an actual psychopath. His narcissism is unbelievable, and he has no concern over how his actions affect others.

Slater Davis

Hahahahah "i don't like to take it from the rear" you're hilarious dude

Chris

The friendliest man in the world ordering mozz sticks waiting to crush a predator lol

Sinned034

I'm glad you like that, haha. I spend a lot of time with that. ;-)

Zach Sweers

predator doesn't want to be blackmailed...proceeds to try to blackmail you for car damages

KB

"Both My Parents Are Lawyers"

1x

The predator was watching Achievement Hunter play a game lmfao listen for when his phones start playing stuff over Bluetooth in the scuffle

rosera

Motherfucker pulled the "my parents are lawyers" card. I love how you turned it around on him. Worth subbing for this episode.

Ian Tacquard

would've taken his keys out of the ignition

MikeTheDead

Here is a PERFECT example as to why predators/abusers need to be exposed like this; he was sneaky and went to many lengths to cover up who he is. Thank you for this and be careful!

Finnamon

PLEASE do an update on this predator if and when it's possible. That was intense.

Nancy Scott

Haha I'm only 11 minutes in but your travel music has me hyped!

Phil Bates

Bet.

Phil Bates

No doubt. The attitude he had when he pulled up had me a little upset as well. The how dare you film me look on his face. Spent a good ten minutes struggling to operate that camera!

Chase

How you phrased everything you mentioned to him perfect!!! The audacity of this guy though my god, well done for staying so calm and getting your things back! X

Amy Josephine

i never wanted to kick a predators ass so badly... this guy really pissed me off for you. every predator makes me mad, but this dude just hit different.

bre

Subbed to the patreon for this one. definitely worth it

Maltex

Swear I thought the same thing. Both Prestons have alot in common besides the name

Robert Dye

I'm surprised Zach didn't just take the camera back. You're within your right to fight him for stealing your property..

Jason Longo

This video alone was worth subscribing for. Damn that was amazing.

Tom

you're pretty amazing. I know the olds is an amazing car, but turning the convo into damage appraisal from the having evidence for pedophilia was an amazing tactic.

Matt Girouard

lmao got bitched out by low life scum

caleb

Not the predator listening to Achievement Hunter 😭

Nadia

You were too nice. Should’ve beat his ass

GeauxGetFresh

Please give us any updates on this dude and what became of this whole situation

Psyche Flynn

You should've hit his horn repeatedly. Get some attention so youre less likey to get hurt

Levi VP

thank you for roasting him! he's such an idiot

Linda

That Arby's employee was delightful! :D

Enda Seán Byrne

Pulling up to Arby's cause he knows the staff have got his back 👌🏻

Kelsey Tupper

You should've just called the police. This guy committed multiple crimes lmao.

GoochTroll

bro i can't believe the amount of bravery you put on when confronting these demons, literally they could have a weapon and you would be killed bro, also the financial burden -like having to fix your car- is also very risky, god bless you brother

DextroSpeaks

This really scared me. What if he had a gun? Do you protect yourself? Wear a bullet proof vest? I never thought a situation like this would happen to you. PLEASE be safe going forward

Alyssa Hehemann

He couldnt handle getting caught and came driving back... what a weenie

Jadie

I found it hilarious while watching how much leeway he thought he had. Like, why did he think he had the right to negotiate with you? He followed through on meeting with an underage girl, he tried to steal your property, he hit your car, and it was all recorded on top of it all. I don't know where he's getting that "confidence" from.

Aria Graff

Bet. LOL that got old real quick

John Clearwater

Agreed! I love at the end when he scoffed and said “I have Michigan’s most powerful attorney” ha!

Woooowww, I feel for your Oldsmobile, when I had a 91 Honda Prelude, I babied it.. Please stay safe, he definitely came-back to try and defend himself or take your evidence out... I wouldnt trust him, he sounds scared of being exposed as well.

Ervin Chan

Bro, this guy is a fucking JOKE. He DESERVES to be exposed sooooooo much just for this!!! What a fucking baby!!!

Ellie Fugerer

Lol when he told you he'd pay you should've told him your Patreon.

Lucky Saumur

What a piece of crap

Grady42

LMAOOOO you really said I don't care about anything but this old ass car & he took you seriously I'm crying

Stephen

That phone call at the end alone was worth the $5, good shit.

Corbin

Great video! And seriously, when you farted it literally started to smell in my car, passed a papermill at The same time😅

Thomas Kristiansen Berg

Did you press charges?

Ann Marie

Making a predator wait until after you’re finished with your mozzarella sticks is the biggest predator catcher flex of all time.

Brian Toal

I’m tired of this grandpa

Bee

"Dude...im not gonna screw you over" but he out really trying to literally screw kids....um not the best character traits

Natasha Dunn

i agree.. i'd rather stay a patreon member for your podcast and investigations but i don't think u should be meeting these animals in person

Brian McElligott

trying to guilt someone? pretty low... but a pedophile? in the industry we call it karma instead. ;) good stuff man

wrapfield

i like that my 5$ feels even more well spent when i can see this guy crying about being recorded for a video hahahah

scumbagjoseph

Please for the love of god tell me you pressed some sort of legal charges or something. 1. Assault (The scratches he left on your face plus the altercation with you trying to get your camera back) 2. Theft (Temporary Theft) 3. Vandalism / Caused the accident to your car 4. DESTROYING EVIDENCE (LIKE LMAO) 5. Last but not least TRYING TO MEET UP TO HAVE SEX WITH WHAT HE THOUGHT TO BE A MINOR Please tell me you gave all that footage to some form of law enforcement dude

Burrito Mafia

Can your next sticker be “who’s penis is this?!”

Hanzo Shimada

“bOth mY paREnTs aRe LAwYers” BITCH IF YOU DONT GTFO 🤡🔫 I hate predators they’re all narcissistic demons

Pawns Transformed

That was maddening to hear the guy try to say both his parents were lawyers and that he is “trained in doublespeak” but that’s totally not a threat. What a tool

John Clearwater

Lol "for all I know you could be recording this right now" 😂 Also, that guy was soooooo stupid! If you were streaming someone would've been called the police on that. 😂

Monica

Holy Shit this interaction is so weird 😳 😂

Antassium

Dude please have a bodyguard/strong friend to watch from a distance when you approach these guys. At least they could call the cops if something really bad was to go down. You could have been way more hurt than this. Other than that great video!

Lena

"i dont take everything at face value." lol then how did he get caught messaging a grown man he assumed (at face value) was a fifteen year old girl smh. great video bro. but be safer.. lol

marky said

This predator was such a crybaby. Listening to him after the meetup was pain. But you stayed cool the whole time. Stay safe Zach.

Pavel Žoch

The fact the he thinks that you have to delete the evidence before he has to pay you..LOL!! Then tries to say his parents are lawyers

JJ Marie

Listening to him trying cover his ass is so nauseating

Andrea H

if his parents were lawyers i think he would've known not to speak with a little girl sexually over the internet ...

wishbone

why were you so concerned with getting out of there so quickly????

Carter Ashley

Is the insurance gonna cover it?

Emily Bell

You're a much better man than I am. I would've flipped and called the police on him right then and there.

Max

I say this out of love, and I say it before looking at your newer videos which likely address this issue. I'm mid-way through this video. I see you've encountered a total sociopath or psychopath. Calm and cold. You're hysterical in his car. You mean well and you provide entertaining content. But so what. Is it worth your life? Stop doing this bullshit, and don't listen to the people who say to continue. Those who say that do NOT care about your safety. All it takes is one sociopath with a knife or gun, and you're gone. I'll watch your updated videos now, hoping that you've made this realisation yourself.

Aidan Holland

Betttt

kat

Bruh you need to be more careful.

Ashley Trafford

what a pathetic predator. stay safe out there.

GIgi Lui

☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ ~ ZACH!!! You had my heart racing, I was scared for you for a minute or 2, omg! Now that all is said and done, I'm so glad your ok! I must admit tho I'm slightly disappointed that the Predator is OK to, I kinda wish you had gotten in 1 good punch to his head or even a good scratch on him. What a slimy puke, good job providing him an experience of a lifetime, one that is costing him money, feelings of humiliation and regret , hopefully the memory haunts him for the rest of his life! I'm proud to be a patron for you, I can't think of a better person to stand behind and support 100% ☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ Ps... I'm not gonna lie, once I knew you we OK, I went back and played it again, your perseverance, being so macho, not giving up, kinda gave me a funny tingle in my belly! No lie Zach, that was hot! •°~•°☆•°~•°😉❤🤍💙😉°~•°☆•°~•°

Faceted In Mass

Says “I’ll delete it.” Proceeds to post on Patreon LOL. I’m so happy you have this video! Only subbed for this video lol but I think I’ll stay

Linda Ramos

A penis of another man that also just happens to be parked at the arbys.

aodq

what a piece of shit. He crashed into your car in order to hold some advantage over you in case his little deletion plan didn't work out.

aodq

This was so good. I need to be your body guard

Angel Angelov

the ANXIETY the confrontation gave me omg

zora

Man, I hope you have your CPL cuz one day you may need it... these predators aren't messing around... I really don't doubt they would try to kill you. Many of them probably have nothing to lose. Praying for your safety my dude.

Ty Butler

“Are you kidding I have Michigan’s most powerful attorney” ok flex??!

Deven Aleman

Damn that whole confrontation was scary, stay safe!!

Evelyn Harvey

The only thing arby's is good for--catching predators lol

Christian Evora

Arby's sucks dude, that ruined the whole trip, lol. Worse than the car accident.

Galaksee

Be careful man. Watching the lead up to the confrontation is a serious anxiety war

Steve Bazemore

This man is a serious threat to society, he belongs in the pedo gulag.

Gerk Garb

You should carry a friend with you next time.

GloomySenpai

Chris Hansen had "have a seat". Zach has "who's penis is this?" Thanks for doing your work. The call is maddening at the end like what an annoying dude to say the very least. "I'm not gonna screw you I promise you that" right because you weren't the 15 year old girl. Haha and the Mike Morse shout out amazing

Michael

Wtf dude! That guy is a peice of shit! I was telling at the screen "oh yeah!? Your parents are lawyers and you didn't know underage sex was a crime!" Dude, stay safe! Also get tested for covid! He was all up in your space!

Kelly Woods

The risks you are willing to take for this... You are my hero Zach!

Annemarije

This was scary, you are very brave.

Tihana

Zach, this was scary. This was dangerous.

Dahlia CNM

my roommates & I are watching this on our tv & laughing at how dumb this predator is. We love uu (bet)

booke_selle

Lol wow interesting moves from this one he’s unique for sure. Seems like he has more to lose than others. I will have to point out that it did seem more like the reason he mentioned his parents was because he was explaining how he could understand your method of speaking but you dogged out pretty swiftly haha crazy video dude

Connor Anderson

I think he said 1.99 haha

Sarah Honan

Love this video!!! So funny you never heard someone say bet. Thanks for another great video!

Paige Cheitowskyj

Honestly, I think the biggest crime being committed here is that Arby's is charging $4.99 (with a coupon!) for 4 mozzarella sticks. Rip-off! 😂 JK. Great video, as usual.

Christopher Stephens

Zach I am extremely impressed with your level of self control and your ability to de escalate situations so that they don’t turn into something like a gun being used or unnecessary force. You are exactly what our police force and society needs!! Brav-freaking O my man, bravo!! You are seriously one absolutely amazing human being. Faith in humanity #Restored 🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾❤️

Semira Javorsky

This simp just totally gave himself away. How are both your parents attorneys and you don’t know it’s illegal to solicit minors for sex over the internet?.

Semira Javorsky

Tha heck

LadyBnay

This was great content. Can't wait for the next one.

Clark Landon

If only that drive through woman knew he had an image of a penis in the passenger seat.. LOL

Dawzon

Fuck this dude, I can't stand this guy. "Delete my video or I won't pay for hitting your car." Hope he's in prison

Kokobiel Draws

Hey man I'm glad you're trying to keep people safe, but please be safe.

YOoFriend

Omg...... This fuckinfg guy

Cat M

He still won't learn anything from this so throw everything you got on him. Glad you are okay!

Christopher

I love that I pay to see a grown man fart into his mic on camera then giggle like a goofball.

Jordan Fowler

Don’t negotiate with this little weezle stink bug. This guy should die. Fuck him.

Brandon Sisk

This guy was disgusting and dangerous

Emily Oliver

"I have Mike Morris!" Amazing

Sphinx Face

omlllll CANADA I had one todayy

Aamna Abdallah

omg I love Patreon, I feel like we all have our little Zach fan group together lool

Aamna Abdallah

Lmao imagine if he made an OnlyPreds account 🤢🤣

Slow Loris

I dont pay to see censored dicks, zach.

Jake Sawyer

Should of known.. NOBODY likes arbys

Carolyn Conway

I am so glad that you are OK. Things could have gone way worse. The work you do is so important and I thank you for it. I have kids of my own that I worry everyday about them being taken advantage of like these scumbags try to do. You're amazing for doing this type of stuff because a lot of people are afraid to. I wish you all the best my friend!

Tasha Watson

I like how you were so nice and even apologized to him after he stole your camera and basically assaulted you. Also “bet” is used kind of as a “okay prove it” but in a lighthearted way. So when he replied bet to you saying “yeah I live in etc” he was like “prove it

Rachel R

>about to eat a pizza pop >"WHO'S PENIS IS THIS?"

maksymiliana

He sends all evidence to his local police, he’s successfully gotten 7 predators convicted

Serana TheNecromancer

Can anyone tell me what actually happens to these guys after the videos? Do you hand over your information to the police? Do they get arrested? Really curious. This video was so good. Keep up the fight!

Elven Nyx

The fact that this guy is the same age as me is just sickening. We’re glad you’re okay, Zach!!

Keana Bevett

Zach gotta say, this is probably the best episode you've ever put out there. Honestly, I was really disturbed at how in danger you were, but im glad you made it out alright. Thanks as always for putting yourself out there and doing what none of us would have the courage to do. You even apologized to him and made small talk. He didn't deserve any shred of kindness you gave him but it shows how high your character is. Respect man and please stay safe out there.

David_delay

woah

elliot hurst

This is why I couldn't be Zach. If I were there that guy would've been shot.

RSCrushed

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO NICE JUST SHOOT HIM

Cooper Norfleet

I love the way you talk to his goofy ass.

Alien Vibes

Whenever he said both his parents were lawyers I was laughing!! He really knows the law in that case!

Gabi Westrich

BRUH NOT THE OLDS

john bower

This is the dumbest Pred. ever lol, legendary footage

kenneth malvik

Please keep us updated on what happens with all this!!

HollerzzzXOXO

It's just so funny "both of my parents are lawyers" then why you texting minors???

Wood

This guy needs to go to fucking jail

You're being too nice to this guy. He assaulted you.

I love what you do and agree 100% but ZACH THE CAMERA WASNT WORTH IT! We can replace the camera we can’t replace you!

Jessica Dean

He wrecks your car, takes your property, and scratches you yet somehow you owe him and need to delete the footage? LMAO this guy

Kennedy Thomas

I hope Trump invites you to a dinner one of these days. You’re a true Patriot!

Jen

If you have your CC, I applaud you for not drawing on this guy. Things could have been so much worse.

Zack Stelly

Telling you to be careful might be a bit futile but glad you’re okay. Also, feel bad for all the predators’ penises you have to see. Good video!

Viivi

Bet he doesn’t know “poggers”? Ngl I didn’t know “bet” or “poggers” until recently...

Ubel

Bet

Sean Chaney-22

jheez

DMBreezy

Geez that one was scary. Stay safe man.

C P

damn that really suck :( sorry man. glad you’re okay though!

Whitney

I'm glad you are okay! Thanks for doing all you do!

Julie Bradley

I hope this dude's family & friends find out what he's been up to, including his so called "lawyer" parents. Pathetic when he acts entitled for you to delete the footage. Insanity.

Sharon Triana

man, i hate this guy. he is full of shit.

Masa Shah

I love how he eats the mozzarella sticks first hahaha me too

Brooklyn Hansen

Im suprised you never heard people say bet

Twizy

BEST CATCH YET

Jennifer Carbone

The predator may have rear ended your car, but I'm sure karma will get him "rear ended" in jail.

hertzler92

Is the car actually totaled? dang that sucks so bad

The German Dude

Get an older phone to record and stream the video to somewhere where it gets backed up, in case this happens again and you don't get it back

red

I’ll never forgive you for ripping ass right into the microphone

Seth Perkins

You need to get a backup system that happens whether the camera comes back with you or not. There are systems that use 4g and such and automatically store what is captured. I believe a lot of cop bodycam footage uses those systems.

Sean T

Are you on iOS? And is it an older version of iOS?

Sean T

HOLY SHIT! This was fucking amazing!

Masta D Lo

Hey! Just became a member. When I click to play the video it says "Sorry, due to its privacy settings, this video can not be played here." Any advice?

Tyler

I literally said that out loud when watching that part 😂

TheHelzyy

I look at my member sticker on my desk every day and wonder how you're doing, this was pretty freaky, I hope nothing really bad happens to you man :(

TheMellyBellies

Don’t you mean it put you through... anxiety. Sorry I’ll leave.

WWayne00

"Both my parents are lawyers and I've been trained to listen in a certain way" ... Yet he "didn't know" asking for child p@rn, arranging a meeting with a child for sex was illegal?!? STFU (gotta go Google bettt now)

Bren

That guy had me gagging the entire video. He is completely out of touch with reality. Glad you're okay Zach! That video put me through some stress lol

Nicole

I love that the camera had your back and displayed an error

ash

Be careful Zach, This could get dangerous.

weepingwillows21

This has been worth The $5 lmao

Toffy

zach be careful bro

Matt Rozman

Oh my gosh, the suspense!

Mary Hill

This video kept me on edge THE ENTIRE TIME! I was just admiring how nice your car looked realizing in this video it was about to be hit by a "Predpl8" LOL All jokes aside though, I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE SAFE AND GO AWAY WITH MINOR CUTS AND DAMAGE!" Also a car can be replaced, but you can't. This guy was super creepy and just looking at him gave me bad vibes. The fact that he was saying things like, "You're in MY CAR! Stop harassing me!" That was rich! He is a filthy disgusting waste of space. You really should start carrying guns if you're going to continue this. AND you need to invest in a bulletproof vest. We need you in good health to bust these sickos. You're a hero in my book. <3 Sending prayers and love!

Sarah Holmes

you should make a PRT 2 to this, did he pay you? did he harass you?

laila

If he was tough on the guy, it would have escalated. He was 'kind' to confuse the predator and de-escalate the situation

Zoe Caldwell

Also, I just want to say, as someone who has been a victim of predators many times, especially when I was underage, you really are a hero and your passion for this is incredible :)

Zoe Caldwell

F*CKING HELL I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I love how the predator is actually really smart but you're just that bit smarter. It's like a war of wits. The drama. The manipulation. AMAZING!

Zoe Caldwell

LMAO when u stopped for mozerella sticks.. i hope they were yummy

amber

Can't wait for your next video

Paul Cook III

Bro that's fucked up you should take him to court over thus shit

Paul Cook III

“Both of my parents are lawyers” sounds an awful lot like “My dad owns Microsoft”

Caden Frederick

That was intense - glad you're ok! I was thinking while watching this video - You should take some of the money you're making here and mount a car cam in the front and back windows. We use cameras on our vans - the definition in low light is great, maybe they'll sponsor you. Check em out - https://blackvue.com Another option is wear a GoPro chest harness... Then unzip your jacket as you approach the vehicle. I hope you turn him in!

Scott + Co.

I'm still laughing about the "Combat COVID" mask while everything that happened was happening

Laura C.

i cannot WAIT for the additional commentary

Mr. Rungus

Please be safe Zach! That predator is a scum bag.

Jennifer

Both of his parents raised a pedophile

TRTSATW

I love how in a way he’s trying to pay you off. I don’t think he really cares about the cost of the car, he’s just trying to give you hush money. If both his parents were lawyers he would know that’s not good. And he doesn’t even say anything about him being in the wrong for trying to have sex with a 15 year old. Definitely not his fist time doing this. Hope you can get your car fixed man. :/

Rebecca Valentine

That Was exactly what I was thinking when he was trying so hard to get it back!

Tanya Medina

If the predator doesn’t come through and pay for your car to be fixed, I would gladly contribute to your “fix the Oldsmobile” fund. I imagine many of your other patrons would donate too. The same goes for any of your equipment. Your safety is more important than material items. We’ll help you replace equipment lost/damaged during your predator hunting.

Elizabeth Schneider

I don’t think this content is appropriate for anyone who is too young to make their own money.

Elizabeth Schneider

He got his camera back.

Elizabeth Schneider

Did such a good job at keeping your composure. Listening to that guy keep going on the phone hurt so much, I wanted to yell.

MichaelC

Glad you are safe Zach 🙏 keep doing what you do. You're the best at it. I get why you were being so nice. You were doing it to keep him distracted and to get your property back. At the end of the video you can tell you're heated. 🤬 I hope your car will be ok and that he gets what he deserves for being a predator and an asshole ha.

LezBFriendz11

Thank you, for all that you sacrifice, time, patience, mentally / emotionally, all the work behind it all, to get these people off the streets, and save probably hundreds of our youth. You are truly an incredible human <3 Much love and mad respect. Your videos always hit me right in the feels.

EverElusive ReneeTaur

Awesome Video! I’m going to be able to give greater support in the near future and it will be an honour to do so brother! After this dingus is taken care of I can’t wait to see what’s next.

daybreaK

Best vid yet

DragneelSenpai

This made me so anxious 😩 but I'm glad you're okay > n < and lolol him calling you afterwards and talking to you as if he isn't the pedo who hit your car 🙄

유미 우치다-김

Glad you're safe, Zach!

Be careful dude!!! He is probably plotting his revenge and trying to track you down now.

MikeyShumy

You’re doing great work, but please stay safe!! God forbid he had a weapon in his car.

vrpup

Zach, please be more careful!

Diana

Make sure he pays by balance on Cashapp, he can charge back if he pays by bank.

Harrison

youre starting to get really clever, the trailing strategy and the way you called his phone were GENIUS

Landon

I think that was Zach's intention. To destress the predator and make the conversation about the car so that the predator does not think that that is Zach's main focus when in reality it is.

Munin

Yeah. I'd love to see the guy pay for the damages and still go to jail

Noodlz Ch. 麺クン

Aww man...and the Arby's didn't even taste good? Ruined.

Shana Banana

You need to be more brave, sorry but is for your own safety. I don't think it was fair enough to treat him "kind". He deserves the worst.. trying to go to bed with a minor and he also is a violent person. This is pure evil.

Paula Fireal

That was intense

Erik Janke

You were right to be mad about your car, but the whole conversation was about the damages he did to your car. Not about the fact he’s a child predator.

Beau Caspar

Zach I just got my sticker and letter in the mail thank you so much!

Isabella

Prayers!

Magnanimous Fantastico

i wish you showed more agression to this dude, fuck this guy lol. Awesome video, but i wish you cracked that fuck in the face. Im glad you're safe Zach. i just finished the whole video at this point, the end of the call was well handled and in the end, im kind of glad you didnt get in an actual fight, i wouldnt want you catching some sort of assault charge. much love!

Scottie Turner

man i wish Zach fucked this guy up.

Scottie Turner

"That Arby's didn't taste very good either, by the way." You're killin' me Zach...

Amanda Carr

aww sorry about the car i am gutted for you

debbie

Zach! Omg 😳 pls be careful!!!!, as Im sure you are, but extra careful!... what kills me is this guy was trying to get the footage off of the camera but you already had plenty of evidence in the chat, also with his cell phone, destroying the camera does nothing LOL. I think his parents are probably attorneys and he's used to getting out of trouble so breaking a law is not a big deal to him. Like a spoiled brat but hes a preditor!!! His entitlement triggered me. My concern is that he (Predator)will stress out so much about the footage, that you (Zack)could get hurt... more than the slash on your forehead! Finally, I am a long-time subscriber, you know that car inside and out :-)i’m positive you can fix that car you’ve been working on it for years!!!!

Tanya Medina

I feel really stressed about this guy.. pro tip don't watch this video while stoned (except for the first part cause Zach is funny af)

Nikki Taylor

Woah this is fucking intense. That guy needs mental help badly. He's a fucking danger to society wtf

Nikki Taylor

Also please be careful. I get REALLY bad vibes from that guy.

Deku

Oh he will rat him out. There's no way he won't.

Deku

What a STRANGE phone call! He was just acting like his intent to damage a young girl was no big deal and that he shouldn't face consequences for attempting it. Unbelievable. What a disgusting person. And then he was acting like the payment of fixing his car would ensure his exoneration. He must have been freaking out to try and use something so unrelated as leverage.

Deku

why does he have all these excuses when if he literally wasn’t a predator none of that would’ve happened 😭

karsyn

😝🍑💨

Slow Loris

Predator: Why are you recording me? Zach: I just came to get something to eat!

blakepre00

I know right. 🙄

rachel heath

Yoooooo I’m from kzoo oh no

Nicole Allen

The fact this guy was listening to Achievement Hunter while struggling with you makes me sick. I grew up listening to Michael and Gavin playing games and it makes me sick to think of there being such twisted and sick people in the AH community. But then again... after what Ryan Haywood did over the years he was in AH... it doesn't leave me much hope for this guy to be the only bad apple of the bunch.

Stray

Rat him out to the cops man, don't trust that shit. No predator should get away with it. Id reccommend before your car gets fixed but if it's already been done still see what the cops can do.

Noodlz Ch. 麺クン

Omg “both of my parents are lawyers” 😂 suuuure

Katarina Lee

if its too much too read... at least read the last paragraph! please Dont get me wrong, I totally love you and your videos but this just shows me that you are at least a bit over-confident in what you do and (at least it looks like) that you would be absolutely helpless in case someone actually were to do something to you... be more carefull. Please... Imagine that guy had a knife or gun. Do you really think he would have aimed for your chest? If I would be a predator... I wouldnt mate. And even on reddit you can find "tutorials" on how to completely dissolve a body. You´d be gone without ANYONE knowing... You should really re-think on how you do stuff like this! Seriously... Forget that stupid car and cam... Think about YOU! Doing this at night, with nearly no people arround really put you in danger... And I dont want to wake up one day reading "Video vigilante found dead in parking lot" or something like that on the news... Please be more carefull! But now let me tell you again.. I love your videos! I thank you for every predator you bring behind bars! I appreciate your work! and I wish someone like you would have existed when I was young and naive... Stay safe! A question I have... I know young kids that loved to watch you but they dont earn their own money yet and their parents are completely against paying just so they can watch some "useless videos" ... Can I share the direct video link with those kids? And NO! I would NEVER share it with ANYONE that could earn their own money in ANY way... its just that those kids are legaly unable to work and have "stupid" parents.. pardon my language

ClaraCrazy

Once these predators get caught they go into fight or flight because their whole existence is about to change. I worry for you that one will be desperate enough to try and kill you over the footage. That being said, the patreon is well worth it and I love the videos. You're a god for exposing these sickos.

i_hate_predators

Edit that fart out

i_hate_predators

Only because I had to shove it down my throat very quickly and didn't get a chance to enjoy the sauce. :(

Zach Sweers

screw that guy 100x over haha, never once cared abt if he had actually been talking to a kid and their safety, just wanted to cover himself. so gross. thank you for your work, stay safe.

Asa Leilani

The arbys not tasting good is a shame

‏‏‎

He got treated REAL nice for being a predator. That’s disgusting 🤢 .. Collage with CC Unit.

Snoopnugg

Hahahah 5:22 and the face you made 😂 s a m e

Jamelle van Mourik

Holy crap this was intense... I wonder how many of these predators would have hurt or trafficked the girl/boy they thought they were meeting. Yikes.

Lucy Lynn

please be safe zach! :(

Natalie T

i know you wouldnt, but his face would be slammed against the floor lmao i dont fuck around he would be put in the hospital.

steven cassano

Thanks again for all of your great work. I love supporting you. Stay safe!!

Shards of a Broken Life

this was the first predator video that i was genuinely terrified during the confrontation. whewwww.

Ken Moore

This made me so mad. What a total scumbag. Attacks you, hits your car, steals your cameras, then begs to be spared. This man is clearly a criminal and needs to go away for a long time.

Mathew Walke

duuude this was so intense lmao probably my fav video so far 😂 fart scene was the cherry on top

Sabina Toderici

Lol that fart tho 🤣 😂 💀

Danielle Brunner

That was crazy ridiculous man! Did he end up paying you for the car at all??

Alexander Chacon

This was pretty frustrating to watch, how that ridiculous guy was. But I laugh just a little bit when you first went up to him and said - who’s penis is this?🤨

Hayley

Always got my support x

Georgia

I’m glad you’re alive n well, people like this are vile. He’s the same age as me n it hits hard how real predators are n how sad it is, you rock Zach

Georgia

Dang I’ve never heard you that loud, I could tell it was an intense situation! Cant wait to see the follow up vid

Grace Butler

why does this sound like a threat 😬💀

Kaijah Bey

This made me very upset to watch

BYARO

I am so sorry this happened to you. This is insane!

Britt

I'm so fuckin sorry your car and equipment got ruined. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad <3

Mikayla Cobb

Lol “bet” as in say less or alright! But this predator was gross.

Fai Sounthala

I didn’t think I could like Zach more until I realized he also eats mozzarella sticks with honey mustard too 🥵🥺

Your Favorite Girl Boss

Imagine how this predator would have reacted if a real 15 year old girl would have told him “no,” tried to establish boundaries, or changed her mind while already in his vehicle. Zach is a based hero.

Alana

Stay safe man!! This was definitely an anxiety inducing episode 😭

Fae

holy sh!t dude! hope a follow up video comes next! time to get a wrist strap for your cameras! glad you were ok...

neowave

Damn dude hope you sue him for theft and assault sorry about your camera hope you get a new one

Noah

Anxiety War living up to the name..... BET!

gucciboo

Wow! Wild ride! Poor Zach, I could feel your panic and shock when he was assaulting you. What the heeeeeck, then with the begging? Okay no, bye! Better hope your lawyer parents can get you out of this 😅

Anna Lundh

This was intense. Please be careful, Zach!

Jonathan Michel

Yes, the most logical thing was to defend himself. As if assault helped his case? Legendary video Zach, your sacrifice was not in vain.

chloe sady

That guy is trash.

Xad Michaels

My favorite thing about this video is Zach in the car. I love seeing the louder, more animated and open Zach! Aaaaand it took me this video to realize he's usually so quiet at home to be considerate of his neighbors. So much respect!

Cia

Bro! I do honey mustard with my mozzarella sticks too!

Xad Michaels

You should of called the police after he hit your car.

Trent

That was an intense video, it lived up to the hype. Yikes! .... On another note, no one is going to mention the fart in the mic part???

Shiela Larson

Predator used slash! Not very effective...

Cynthia Cyanide

Really man? Just blatant racism! Please, go away.

Casey Carr

I love how he's wearing a "Confront Covid" mask when planning on not social distancing with a 15 year old girl.

Kip

HecklerTheDragon

That was an entertaining video my man. Trust me, both of my parents are YouTubers.

mangoman

That part where he tried to almost manipulate you into committing "extortion" while saying "my parents are both lawyers" really passed me off. Does he not understand that the cops have literal evidence of his suspicious actions just through your car and extortion looks almost angel-like in morality compared to what he did. Such a manipulative scumbag. If I were you, I would have told him directly that you were reporting him and the whole conversation and interaction was recorded and said "thank you, bye"

Jonathan Griffiths

Zach what kind of camera is that? not the glasses the actual camera.

Proactivealex12

Zach my friend, I love your videos! Your personality shines through and I simply love watching and even re-watching your videos! Keep up the good work as I'm rooting for ya! Stay safe while catching these low life scum!

Shay Shay

Knowing you're from Michigan I wish you would run into someone I know haha. I know it's not likely though since I live in the Detroit Metro area and you're on the west coast. Have 3 different stickers from you including the chat log doesn't lie and shoot your local predators. Wish YouTube wouldn't mess with you so much their are so many worse predator videos out on their platform which are way lower in quality. Cheers my guy!

John Bretz

I became a patron just for this video, and it was worth it.

Kissingandgunshots

Please be safe, bro. Thankful for what you do, but we all value your safety first. The sticker I got in the mail was awesome btw. Thanks again 👾

Ayedan

me: *sees new predator video* my watch: *your stress levels are unusually high, relax with a breathing activity*

k4

You're a living legend mate 👍👍👍👍

Rebekah Goode

I'm still in shock. I cant believe what I just saw. Living in Australia, I've honestly never come across anything quite like that..................... $1.99 for FOUR Mozzarella sticks AND you got your choice of dipping sauce?? That's crazy.

Dan Turner

I’m glad you’re okay

WeRo

WOW. this vid is a wild one, shows how much you are willing to do to get these weirdos outta here. thank you so much for all u do!! will never regret buying ur patreon 😂

hannah

Zach, please be careful man

Nero A. Masselli

Been a subscriber for a while now, finally caved & bought your patreon, so stoked to check out the rest of your content.

Cassandra

The fact you stayed SO CALM. I couldn't. That was an adrenaline rush before my bed time man

Celeste Hill

Brooo. You need to stop going alone. I’m in your area

Gavin Rees

Dude, you handled yourself so well. I would've shit myself.

Jónas Roy

holy hell that was intense

Prism of Selves

This was intense lol

Greyden Wimer

Lol the Arby's probably saw something was going on but just wanted to close and leave.

Bach Chappell

Mike Morse top 1 lawyers in Michigan tbh. Shoutouts the 248!

Nick Vuylsteke

I knew you were in the Grand Rapids area but I didn’t expect to see you less than a mile down the road from where I work! I’ll have to keep an eye out for you.

Jared

The PREDPL8 had me goin'

Rachel Robin

This guy is from Palm Beach County based on that mask. That is where I'm from. Makes me sick. Thank you for all you do Zach, one more scumbag exposed like they should be.

Laylay Rey

My favorite parts of the video were you farting into the microphone, and needing mozzarella sticks before you confronted the predator.🤣🤣 But seriously, this was awesome and we are going to need a follow-up video.

Ashley

He has a married vibe.

Jen H

I feel like I need a drink lmao such a chaotic video😫😂 was worried about you the whole car part. Glad you're ok!

Ke

Bro we apreciate these videos, but maybe have more security for yourself.?

Milton Ramirez

Time to catch a predator... but first “Hi yes I have a coupon for mozzarella sticks”

Yazmine Manna🌱

Mike Morris, 855-MIKE WINS GO FOR THE WIN!!! Good to remember that commercial as a Michigander trying to become a lawyer.

Steve Ulinski

Oh my god I'm so sorry this happened to you! I'm really glad you're okay. that bullshit about lawyers at the end was fake as hell. no kid of a lawyer would speak like that LMAO

forest

I laughed so hard at the dumbass on the phone, then you would make comments and crack me up even more

Lawless vaper

"I'm not one of those people who takes everything at face value." Well, he certainly took that 15 year old's existence at face value LOL

Slow Loris

Update: I have to work in several hours and man, I'm not regretting if now, but I will later. Anyways, I think you should start bringing somebody with you. Even if they hide in the backseat of the car

Vii

YOU ARE GOING TO SAVE 2021

Lucas

Pls provide follow-up

Aedain the fifth

this is the best episode so far

pooonana

You're nuts man.. You're doing good for the world but putting your life on the line.

Commanderken

bruh I hope you at least could get him legally for battery and fucking up your car since you got it all on video

maisy rae

I was hoping you did a background check and already knew who his parents were and was about to whip that out lol

Gailyn

i was so nervous when he started driving back dude😳

cadelabonte

Another banger of a video

Anthony

wow! i cant believe you did this so scary! what if he had a knife! maybe have a buddy sitting on the side? :(

Amber Pratt

hahahah "bet" = the same slang as "word" and make sure to take that arbys survey to tell them you didnt like the mozz sticks, ty

Recise

Preston, Preston Garvey, Commonwealth Minutemen

Adam Stillson

this is the third time i’m commenting my bad but YOOOO their mozzy sticks go so hard 😭

Jasmine Beaudoin

You are seriously so entertaining and funny. Really makes these videos what they are. 😁

Casey Carr

Why ?

Allyson Muzzy

predator: i’ll just stick to eating your pussy zach: i don’t have a cat 😂💀

Jasmine Beaudoin

I commend you for the work you do Zach but I always worry about the safety of pedophile hunters. This could have been so much worse he could have being carrying a knife or a gun. Stay safe.

Mad Watermelon

not me trying to find zach in person to get a sticker 😅😂

Jasmine Beaudoin

Had to pause the video to tell you that real fast 😂

Casey Carr

yeah... not surprised this is the one predator who tried to get violent.

gloom

I am so glad you are okay. Thank you for doing the work you do. You are a real life hero!

Casey Carr

*Cot

Marcus Graves

@4:07 Excellent commentary here, Zach!

Slow Loris

bro what. the predator is your friend?

Lisa Dominici

I was about to go to beddd 😭

Vii

This is actually good my friend. You will be tougher and more ready next time. Let this encourage you!
