Danny Bonaduce was known to be a bit of a prankster when he was a child actor on the ABC sitcom The Partridge Family. More than 50 years later, he’s been part of an ongoing prank at record stores that’s ultimately a great surprise for fans.
Bonaduce, 67, routinely sneaks into record stores and signs old Partridge Family albums that are in bargain bins.
Most recently, he stopped by Amoeba Music in San Francisco, where he spotted a $2.99 copy of the Partridge Family’s 1971 Up to Date album.
“We’re in the clearance section, which is only slightly insulting,” Bonaduce said in a recent TikTok video he posted from the store. “By the way, we got caught this time so we had to talk to management,” he added. “They were very cool.”
Bonaduce signed the record then placed it right behind a Robert Plant album in the bargain bin. He tagged the post with #autographbandit and asked fans to let him know if they find it.

♬ original sound – Danny BonaduceBonaduce has been busy this year. In August, he shared a TikTok from a visit to Eco Thrift in San Bernardino, Calif., where he found a copy of the Partridge Family’s 1971 epic Sound Magazine, behind a Jimmy Swaggart album. Bonaduce whipped out his marker to autograph the front of the album for a lucky buyer.
On April 12, he signed a copy of 1972’s The Partridge Family Notebook while at a vintage record store in Seattle. Bonaduce noted that April 12 was his late co-star David Cassidy’s birthday, so he signed the album, “Happy Birthday David,” and placed it behind a Peter Frampton album in the store’s three-dollar bin.
Bonaduce has been the “autograph bandit” for at least five years. His first bandit-related TikTok post was in 2021, where he signed a copy of The Partridge Family Album at Amoeba Music in San Francisco.
During The Partridge Family’s four-season run, the made-for-TV band recorded eight studio albums, including a Christmas album, from 1970 to 1973.
Shirley Jones and David Cassidy were the only two Partridge Family cast members to really record on the bubblegum pop albums along with session musicians. On the TV show, Bonaduce played bass player middle brother Danny Partridge.
Speaking with Pop Culture Retro earlier this year, Bonaduce joked about his fake bass-playing on the popular sitcom.
“Nobody would have thought I was playing,” he shared, adding that Cassidy called him out during a musical performance for The Partridge Family pilot.
“In the middle of the song or at the end of the song, David Cassidy turns to me, a 10-year-old Danny Bonaduce, and looks at me and says, ‘You don’t strum a bass guitar, you pluck it. Do you think you can pluck it, kid?'” he recalled.
Guest star Johnny Cash then walked over and told Bonaduce he was doing “fine.”
