Owners of Breaking Bad house erect fence in effort to prevent throwing of pizzas on roof

Only in America!



Tourists making a pilgrimage to Albuquerque, NM and visiting the (Breaking Bad) house, in which unexpected drug mastermind Walter White once lived will, no longer will be able to snap the photos they seek — and will probably also have limited opportunities to toss pizzas onto the unassuming abode's roof, as was famously done on the show.

The owners of the single-story home are fed up with the constant tourist traffic and impositions, and are constructing a giant, six-foot-tall wrought iron fence to guard against the attention, local KOB4 News reports.

"We don't want to gate ourselves in," homeowner Joanne Quintana told KOB4. "We're the ones who's being locked up." But with "hundreds" of visitors passing by over some weekends, they've decided it's time to make a change.

Maybe that competition should be held in the neighborhood.

It never would have crossed my mind to do anything but take a long look as we passed by.

We also saw the car wash. But we didn't go in because who washes a rental car?
