I've been trying to be more intentional about what I wear day to day, leaning into pieces that feel comfortable, effortless and still put together. It makes getting dressed so much easier and that's honestly why I keep going back to Quint's. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are flattering and everything just works out without overthinking. Quince makes it easy to refresh your every day this spring with pieces that feel as good as they look. They use premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton and ultra soft denim. Their lightweight linen pants, dresses and tops start at $30. They're easy, breathable and perfect to wear on repeat. Everything at Quint's is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality and craftsmanship, not brand mark. I've been loving their 100% organic cotton boyfriend Crew sweater. I ordered it in light blue and I wear it on repeat. The fit is relaxed yet polished and the fabric is really soft while still holding its shape. It's one of those pieces I can throw on with anything and I instantly feel put together. And when I saw the price I actually had to do a double take. It feels like it should cost way more.

Radio Rental Storyteller 2
I was in sixth grade at the time, so I was probably around like 11 or 12. My family was originally in a rent to buy situation which didn't go out the way they wanted it to. And we had to move like really quick into another house. It was like a really big house. We ended up getting four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and it had like this really large living room with an overlook. It was gorgeous. I do remember meeting the landlord. They came to the house like once I believe, when I was like a kid. And they didn't seem like bad people, they were just like older folks. My parents bedroom was like the biggest bedroom in the house. Their master bedroom had a very big living room that attached to it. And then it would lead to a hallway where their closets were. And since we had that big living room, me and my siblings always used to have sleepovers over there. I'm one of six girls, so like that's just how we kind of bonded. So we'd always have movie nights there and we'd like hang out it was great. At the time, my family was like, super not into technology. I've been programming since I was nine, so, like, anytime they needed help with something, like, it was me who had to help. This was a time where, like, streaming was becoming really popular, like the Roku, Netflix, all that kind of stuff. So my parents had switched from cable to Roku that connect directly to the tv. So it was a sister sleepover night. Everybody had went to bed. I was the only one up. I cannot fall asleep without the TV on. It has to be on at all times for me to fall asleep. We had lost the original remote to the tv. We had to physically get up, and on the side of the tv there's HDMI input settings. And you have to press it until it reached the HDMI input setting where the video was being broadcast. So that night I got up, I went to go change HDMI settings. When I hit the second HDMI setting, input comes on tv, which never happens because there's nothing plugged into the HDMI setting because we don't have cable. Something pops up on the TV that I've never seen pop up before. That's where I see all these image panels of different CCTV footage. So confused of, like, what it is I'm even looking at. And I take a couple minutes to comprehend it. And I'm staring at each image. I remember it being very grainy and it was very low quality. Each image is a different part of a house. One is a kitchen, one is the living room. There's a couple other ones throughout the house, like a basement. I had no clue, like, what I was looking at. First thing I'm assuming is that it's a cable image. Maybe my parents got cable again, you know? Or there's another input setting. The last panel was a little bit of a smaller living room. And it looks like there was someone in the panel. Somebody was looking at a tv. I noticed the pajamas, specifically that they were wearing. Very distinct. That's when I noticed that it was me. I'm looking at imagery of my own house. What I can only assume to be was camera footage. It's all of her things and all of her belongings. I was like, so scared, my stomach dropped. I was small enough to kind of jump and hide behind the TV stand. And so that's what I did. So I didn't have to look at these images anymore. And I switched that last HDMI setting and put it back on to the Roku. And then I run back to bed and go to sleep. I do this Thing which I still do when I'm really scared. I just go underneath the covers and I fall asleep as quickly as possible. Because you can't be scared when you're sleeping. So the quicker I fall asleep, the less I will have to be scared or worry about it until the morning. The next day I was trying to figure out like, you know, where these supposed hidden cameras could be. So I look around the house, I'm looking everywhere that I saw the footage originally showing. It looked like the cameras were placed in the foyer where you walk in the basement where you would be watching TV or watching a movie. The main living room where everybody would sit, the kitchen where it would point to everyone where they were eating. And then my parents master bedroom living room. I took my hand and I rubbed it against the wall to see if I could find anything. And I could not find anything. Nothing. I'm looking through all my parents phones to see if they could find any recording apps of like camera footage apps or on their browsers if they have anything that's like a streaming for a camera. And I literally could not find anything. I looked all day that day. Nothing. I didn't tell my parents because I guess at the time I was just way, way too scared. What I did tell my parents, they were pretty mad that I didn't tell them at first about what had happened. Like I said, I just cannot believe my parents could install anything. They can't even do WI fi. It was a rented house, so there was no way that they were allowed to put anything up like that, especially install something in the house. We had very strict rules when it comes to that. We would always have people who had to contract and come over. Especially because it was like a rented place. We can't hire our own staff to do all that kind of stuff. We have to have the landlords do it. My theory is that for some reason the landlord really wanted to watch all of us make sure the property isn't being broken somehow. But at the same time, as like a kid of six little girls growing up in a house, I think that is a very creepy way to ensure that your property stays safe. We were all kids and these people who we do not know were pretty much watching us. I feel like after I had found the videos, I kind of like did like shift the way that I acted in that house. As I'm in college and a computer science student now, it really like kind of disturbs me a lot more. I just think of being like watched in that house. I think of all the Moments where I was, like, doing something personal or just even like, eating dinner or being around my home watching TV and thinking about the fact that, like, somebody could have access to what I'm doing right now and watching me and watching what I'm doing right now. And that definitely scares me a lot.

Oh, wow. That's really terrible. You should definitely never watch people without their permission. Just totally completely unrelated. Don't look in the top right hand corner of the store. There's not a. There's actually a big spider's nest up there. Large spiders. You don't want to look at it. It'll freak. Okay, let's take a break for ads.

Radio Rental Storyteller 1
So this happened when I moved to a new city. I didn't know a lot of people, I only knew my boyfriend. And then we knew like a couple of his like distant family members. There where I moved was. It looked like any other like very like safe suburban neighborhood. I mean, I didn't know a lot of my neighbors because it was a mostly older neighborhood. That year I asked my friend to come visit me for my birthday because I didn't have a lot of friends down here. And so she did. She was here for a couple days. We went out and then the next morning I was gonna drive her to the airport. And the night before when we went out, I had parked like right outside my cul de sac and I had never parked there before. But like, there was no problems that I thought were gonna happen. I woke up the next morning, we were gonna drive her to the airport, we were gonna get some breakfast before we walk out to my car. We open the door and it like took a second for my brain to process like what was going on, to like understand that something was wrong. I'm a pretty messy person, so I thought maybe my car was just like super messy. Everything was just piled into like the passenger seat floor, my glove compartment, my two sides of my door, my like everything, everything was piled onto the floor. I knew that it wasn't just me, like being messy. Someone had been in my car and moved things. And that gave me like an eerie feeling. We were like, that's really weird. Like my car must have been broken into, but the windows weren't broken and like there was no signs of like forced entry or anything. I thought, okay, weird. I must have just like left my car unlocked to like. So stupid of me, whatever. But I'm like very, very OCD about locking my car. That never, I mean, I would never do that. But I thought, you know, everyone makes mistakes. As we're like kind of looking around, like seeing what might have been stolen. I started noticing really, really weird things. Like I was dumb and left a couple like some cash in the car and that wasn't taken. I left my AirPods in the car and that wasn't taken. So then I'm thinking, what kind of thief is coming into My car and, like, not taking, like, things that are just sitting on the seat. Maybe they got scared off before they could take anything. They just rifled through my car, whatever. So I get a big trash bag, and I'm, like, throwing things away, just, like, trying to figure out, you know, if anything was taken. I have a picture that I keep in my car all the time of me and my family. It helps with, like, homesickness. I just look at it when I'm driving. I was probably two years old in the picture. And it's like, me, my parents, my grandparents, my aunt. Like, whole family always wanted to just keep little memories. Anything. I could have my family around me, so when I missed them, I could look at a picture of them. It was like they were kind of there with me. That was one of the only family pictures I had physically, which was why I kept it with me so much, because we just didn't print out a lot of them. Everything was in one pile. So it's not weird for, like, one thing to be out of place. But something in my brain was like, where's that picture? I just can't find the picture. And then I find parts of the picture heads of my family members just, like, sitting on the ground. Okay, there's just perfectly cut out pictures of my family's heads. This is so creepy. Perfectly cut out, not ripped. It was like someone had sat in my car and cut them with scissors. I'm a little dramatic and I start crying because I'm like, this is so scary. Like, this is so weird. We never were able to find the rest of the picture. And as we were kind of, like, dealing with that, someone walked up to my car and they asked me if I had a break in. I said, yeah. He introduced himself as my neighbor. I didn't know a lot of my neighbors at the time. He said, was a picture stolen from your car? Yeah, that was the only thing that was taken. And he said the same thing happened to me. And he was able to describe to me how it happened to him, basically, which is kind of how I pieced together why my windows weren't broken and what happened to me, where his car was. He was able to get, like, some, like, ring camera or video footage, like, when it happened to him. But unfortunately, like, where I was, there was no, like, camera facing my car. But when he did check his cameras, when his car was broken into, all it caught was a man walking by the car. He stood there for a couple seconds. All the lights in the car went on. And then the Guy went in, and he had no idea how the guy got in. There was no, like, breaking of any windows. Didn't look like he was unlocking anything. And I'm pretty sure that that's the exact same thing that happened in my car. I'm sure there's, like, some tool that people use for criminals, like, break into cars, but it still really freaked me out. I have no idea still how this happened, how this happened to this other guy. And I've been really terrified to, like, park my car there ever since because, I don't know, it's outside of my circle. And I felt like maybe this guy just kind of hangs out outside my cul de sac. It wouldn't have scared me so much if it didn't feel so, like, malicious and, like, targeted. Why would you want pictures of my family? We did find the scissors from the first aid kit in my car, which is how he cut the faces. Some guy just came by, sat in my car for however long and took the time to do that and then left. And it scarred me forever. I think about it a lot. I don't understand the motive. He obviously didn't want to steal anything, because he didn't. He just wanted to freak me out, I guess. I have a feeling that this is definitely not the first or second time that he's done it, but I just wish I knew, like, what he wanted or, like, what he was really doing with it, because it's not. It's not something you hear every day. Like, criminal steals pictures from people's cars. Like, he didn't. He didn't want anything but that picture. So I wonder what he does with them. I imagine that he does have some kind of wall or, like, sick room or something that he has these pictures in. And I'm in there somewhere, which is just so unsettling to me. I can't figure out the why. I want to so bad, and I can't figure it out.
- [24:11]
Vince
Would it. It. Would it be totally bonkers if that guy had, like, a whole wall of other people's family's photos? Maybe he cuts out some of their faces and he puts himself in those photos. Maybe he just peruses the aisles at the Goodwill store picking up family photos and inserts himself in to be a part of their family. I don't know. Is that kind of sweet? I think it might be. Let's take a break for ads.
