Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans turned a recent burglary at his Los Angeles-area home into a laughing matter, reassuring fans and poking fun at the thieves who targeted him. Last week, burglars managed to steal a safe and thousands of dollars from Wayans’ residence while he was away, as reported by TMZ. Despite the loss, Wayans remained upbeat in a social media video, emphasizing that the thieves “didn’t really get much.”
“The most valuable thing in my house is my house,” Wayans quipped in the video. “So unless you’re going to put that shit on a truck and drag it away, then, hey, man, you did well. But I don’t own shit.”
Wayans, known for his humor both on and off the screen, took a lighthearted approach to the situation, highlighting that he doesn’t flaunt valuables like jewelry. “I’m not flashy. No jewelry. No necklaces. I don’t have cash. I use credit cards,” he explained, pointing to a “fake” ring on his hand.
In a caption accompanying the video, Wayans assured his followers that everyone in the household was unharmed despite the intrusion. He then directed a tongue-in-cheek message to potential robbers: “Save your energy.”
“Robbers, don’t waste your energy or your life doing home invasions, shit is too heavy!!! You want to carry all that bullshit? Throw your back out, and for what?!” he joked. “I repeat, I don’t own shit valuable,” he added, advising would-be thieves to choose “better” targets.
Marlon Wayans’ ability to find humor in adversity showcases his trademark wit and resilience, resonating with fans who appreciate his candid approach to life’s challenges.
