A HAM-FISTED ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
Intruders Flee From Ludwig the Pig
On the night of New Year’s Eve in 2014, a group of burglars experienced the fright of a lifetime. Expecting to rob a quiet home in Derby, England, the intruders instead came face to snout with Ludwig, a 240-pound potbellied pig. Abandoning all thoughts of crime once they spotted the pig, the burglars instantly fled the scene and ran for their lives. The “hero ham” had already become a popular figure in his town and was well-loved for his gentle demeanor. In fact, Michael Maughan, Ludwig’s owner, is confident that Ludwig wouldn’t have harmed the intruders, even if he does look quite intimidating.
people understand that Ludwig would never hurt anyone. Some fabricated web stories made Ludwig sound more dangerous than he is, so Maughan spoke to the Toronto Star to dispute any defamations against Ludwig’s kindness. “He’s being painted as a vicious creature when he’s actually quite a sweet animal,” he explained. “He didn’t exactly bare his tusks and charge, I don’t think. I think he got absolutely, ‘Arrgh,’ and they just ran for it.” In fact, Maughan detailed that after a two-month separation during their move to England, the pig shed tears during their reunion. Adorable and affectionate, Ludwig would have probably become friends with the intruders in no time.
Local officers believe the robbers must have heard Ludwig’s Rottweiler-like “growl” and immediately hit the road, leaving the door wide open behind them.
Even if his “bark” is worse than his bite, Ludwig succeeded in keeping his owners safe while also protecting

THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED! We Had a Blast With Dalton Dover
We’re always looking for ways we can give back to our community. In the past, we’ve hosted fundraisers, invited our clients out for a day of excitement at Fun Spot America, and so much more. At the end of March, we had an opportunity to cosponsor an incredible concert, which did not disappoint. On March 31, we teamed up with K92.3, Orlando’s No. 1 for new country, to bring Dalton Dover to Wekiva Island for a wonderful performance. For those unfamiliar with Dover, he first gained fame singing on NBC’s “The Voice.” His popularity soared thanks to TikTok and other social media platforms. His songs “Baby I Am” and “You Got a Small Town” have been listened to over 10 million times on Spotify. We couldn’t pass up the chance to cosponsor this event!
400 people in attendance. It was a perfect night for a concert, and everyone who attended had a great time. We even passed out some cool merchandise to the listeners in attendance. What made the night even better was seeing so many of our clients enjoy a night full of music and relaxation. We hope to host or sponsor many more shows like this in the future, so be sure to check our newsletter and Instagram account (@JustCallMoe) to stay up to date on upcoming events. They often sell out quickly, so you’ll want to reserve your spot shortly after we announce each event. From concerts to comedy shows, we have a whole list of events coming up throughout summer and into fall that you don’t want to miss. We hope to see you at our next event, and thank you to everyone who made our most recent event such a success!
