As 'Whip It' Blares, 2 Thieves Walk Away With Devo Fan's TV

COLUMBUS, OH – One Devo fan won't be so happy the next time she hears the Akron band's "Whip It." While in her home jamming to the song, a pair of burglars snuck into her home and pilfered her television.

A home security video caught the theft. It shows two men, sneaking past a curtain in a doorway and into the woman's family room. Meanwhile Devo's famous tune is blaring:

When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it

In a Facebook post, Columbus Police say the burglary took place in broad daylight, at 1:40 p.m. on April 29. The thieves entered the woman's unlocked apartment at Wilkes Court at Ashton Pines Apartment & Townhomes in the Hilltop of Columbus.

The victim was upstairs when the theft occurred, police said. Columbus Police did not return a message from Patch seeking comment.

Detectives ask that if anyone recognizes or has information about the suspects to contact the department's Burglary unit at (614) 645-2257.
