In early 2015, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan kindly asked people in Albuquerque to stop throwing pizzas onto the roof of a house in the Northeast Heights neighborhood.
"There is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof," Gilligan said at the time. "It's been done before. You're not the first."
It didn't stop there either. For years, fans—inspired by the second episode of Season Three, in which Walter White throws a pizza on the roof of his house in frustration—have mirrored the gesture at the actual home where the show was filmed in New Mexico.
In fact, the family who lives in the Breaking Bad house, as it's called, has lost track of the number of times the place has been vandalized. Joanne Quintana, whose mother owns the house, said countless people visit the house every week, and during the big Balloon Fiesta weekend, that number can climb into the hundreds.
"We feel like we can't leave because when we, do something happens and that's ridiculous," she told local KOB4 News.
So, in order to stop the pizza-throwers, the family is building a six-foot wall around the house.
It's a bummer, but, maybe if they're lucky, people will start hiding thousands of dollars in their crawl space, too. And anyway, it could be worse, at least no one is cooking meth on their front lawn.
