Also some people I know in Portland, OR says its being reported there as well. Is this happening in metropolis areas all over the US? If so, maybe it's gangs jacking shit to resell on ebay or something? Like the last 6 years or so street gangs seem to be more crafty then in the past decades. -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |

QUOTE: "There are several billion of you. The education of your children and your living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant life are nevertheless under the thumb of a small number of your political, financial, military and religious representatives. Your thoughts and beliefs are modelled after partisan interests to turn you into slaves while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in total control of your destiny, which in essence is the reality. But there is a long way between a wish and a fact when the true rules of the game at hand are unknown." Thelightside.org/EARSite/library_changetheworld.html |

The idea of ordering valuable merchandise and having it delivered to your home reliably and without anyone fucking with it is very much a first world concept. As such, it is actually a rarity in the world. In South America, someone earlier on in the delivery chain would steal whatever you ordered long before it ever got to the actual delivery guy. |

We used to send them presents and very often the box would be sliced open and the contents stolen before the box or envelope ever reached their home a producer I worked with marveled at our newspaper vending machines, something we take for granted...he said back home you couldn't have something like that because if someone put a quarter in and opened the machine they would swipe the whole stack of papers and then sell them on the corner |

Just a month or two again a local corner store owner got caught taking all the papers out of the vending machine from the corner, then selling the papers in store. guess what, he's a South American immigrant. Turns out he'd been dong it long enough to make an estimated $4,000. That's a lot and a long time. Daily paper is 75cents here. -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |

Judethz User ID: 20521597 United Kingdom 12/05/2012 04:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only thing I can say i get one of those trail camera's from a big box store and mount it around your front porch to take pictures when movement is detected - a cheap one will run you about 50 bucks. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24599086 And maybe FedEx and UPS could have rear mounted cameras so that if there are any future problems they will have faces and license plate details.
