The real-life owners of Walter White’s house in “Breaking Bad” are sick and tired of fans tossing pizzas on their roof. So much so that after a “particularly messy weekend,” the residents of the famous Albuquerque home have decided to put up a 6-foot high wrought iron fence, KOB 4 a local news channel in New Mexico reports.
In case you’re confused, the pie-tossing is a reference to a scene from the popular AMC show, in which White (Bryan Cranston) throws a whole pizza onto the roof of his house out of frustration.
“All day, non-stop, there’s people up and down this road. They park in front of our driveway and block us in,” a neighbor told KRQE, an Albuquerque news channel.
Fans also steal rocks from the yard as keepsakes and ask the owners to close the garage when its open so they can get better photos of the home.
Joanne Quintana, whose mother owns the home, told KOB 4 the fence should be completed soon, but it hasn’t stopped people from trying to climb around the construction to snap pictures.
She told the outlet, “We feel like we can’t leave because when we do something happens and that’s ridiculous.”

Mike's love for Pimento
In one of the more light-hearted nods, viewers were reminded of Mike's consistency when he revealed his snack of choice for his security job in episode nine, a throwback to series four of 'BB.
The key fob
You can always rely on Reddit users to spot the most obscure details, can't you? Here's Walt's key,. in the 'BB' finale, and Jimmy's in the first 'Better Call Saul' episode. Sadly, the jury's out what this tiny symbol could mean.
Heisenberg's coat and hat?
This could be a case of getting over-zealous in the hunt for clues, but this coat and hat hanging up in the courthouse look an awful lot like Heisenberg's outfit.
The Kevin Costner story
In series 3 of 'Breaking Bad', viewers saw Saul telling Walt he could achieve anything, concluding with: "I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it." Well, in the final episode of the series, we finally got to see the woman who fell for Saul's trick.
Juan Tabo
Juan Tabo Boulevard is a pretty huge street in Albuquerque, but nothing happens in a Vince Gilligan show by accident. Jimmy's address - where a real-life nail salon actually sits - is also the road that the one-time meth cook Gael Boetticher resided on. It also popped up in the first episode of 'BCS', when the two skateboarders attempted their scam.
The phonebox graffiti
Like many other scenes, this one at first seemed void of 'BB' nods - but could the 'Jpi' be Jesse Pinkman's graffiti tag? The youngster would be around 15 years old in the 'BCS' world, and while it might seem like we're stretching things, the tag also appeared in an episode of 'Breaking Bad'. Hmmm...
The Cadillac
One of the show's first scenes sees Jimmy, a struggling wannabe, park next to this Cadillac. The link? This is the car Saul goes on to own, once he's finally on top (and a fully-fledged dodgy lawyer...).
Loyola's
Jimmy's meeting place of choice with the Kettlemans also appeared in 'Breaking Bad', when Mike ate with Jesse, and then later met Lydia for a business meeting.
Slippin' Jimmy fits in with Saul's dodgy knees
Obviously, when 'Breaking Bad' was created, the team had no idea that they'd later be working on 'Better Call Saul'. Writer Thomas Schnauz has revealed how some aspects of Jimmy developed, revealing that they remembered Saul's arrest scene while thinking about Slippin' Jimmy. "We thought he must have taken a lot of bad hits on the ice of Chicago and he probably messed up his knees falling down all the time," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "When we did it in Breaking Bad, we didn't have a reason that he had bad knees, but it's nice when we can tie those threads together."
Costco made buying a gold bar as simple as tossing it in a shopping cart. Adam Xi, 33 years old, called five different dealers to get a price he could accept for the gold bar he bought at Costco in October. Costco shoppers are spending as much as $200 million monthly on gold, according to a Wells Fargo estimate.
