The crime situation in St. Louis is out of control. City officials cut the number of police officers over a year ago and the city is still short officers. 911 calls frequently take hours to answer.
But rather than deal with the rising crime rates, City Hall is preparing to sue Hyundai and Kia over the rampant car thefts.
On a personal note: Last week my older brother and sister-in-law stopped by my home. They needed a place to park their car and a ride to an event in the city. The parking garage tenant said they could not park their Hyundai rental in the parking garage because too many are stolen.
So I dropped them off at their party in St. Louis City. more here
I should sue stupid Dem politicians for inciting violence.
I’ve been able to control myself so far, but they keep getting stupider and stupider…
What is it about Kias and Hyundais that make them easy to steal?
“Will our Legislators grant us such a law … or shall we be compelled against our wishes to become judges and executors of what we deem a proper penalty for the commission of such infringement upon the rights of property? Stockmen are law-abiding citizens and heavy taxpayers, and are undoubtedly entitled to proper protective legislation, and when this fails who can blame them for destroying the vampires that are preying upon their material interests?”
Ross Deegan, a prominent member of the Montana Stock Association wrote this in a letter to the Helena Weekly Herald, published January 30, 1879, calling for action regarding cattle and horse theft.
In the old days it was Chrysler K cars. The telco shut down the Brookland CO Maintenance Shop and left the K car because it cost more to start that car than leave it there for eternity.
As far as I know it’s still there… covered in even more dust.
“There’s more men that need hanging, than horses that need stealin'”
Probably need to resurrect that line of thinking.
No immobilizer systems on the Kias/Hyundais
It was some Chrysler products a decade or 2 ago, place hands on window and force down until regulator broke, shove screwdriver into glow ring and pop out lock cylinder insert screwdriver where lock was and turn to start, less messy then what they did to Chevy columns, nothing is new under the sun.
Bell COs are the fuel of nightmares. An entire floor of a DMS switch that was manned 24/7 by Bell grade mofos. Scores of mofos.
Coffee cups still on the tables. Nobody been there in 40 years.
The terminals that still work are reporting errored cards and timing slips.
Erik the ne’er do well unmasked scumbag,
Someone backed over a PSTN connection point on my neighbor’s property, not sure what you call them, grey rectangular box about 2 feet high, they are all over the place usually bent over. It’s broken in half, thousands of copper lines exposed. AT&T came out a few days later, parked a van by it for a few hours and left, I never even saw anyone get out of the van. Broken box still there over a month later. I don’t know why they aren’t required to clean these eyesores up, there’s 4 of them visible down the street from me, ugly AF.
There used to be a show on TeeVee where the cops would plant a car wired with cameras and an ignition kill switch,!then sit back and wait for the fun. In nearly every case, the perps were POC. Always with the same excuse: “I thought it was my friend’s/cousin’s car”. Followed with “I dindu nuffin’.” Show finally went off the air, probably because they couldn’t get enough of the “right people” to steal cars.
Has anyone in LE caught on to the fact that auto thefts are influence by law enforcement as it currently is, and a porous border, especially one that’s so much more easily crossed with someone else’s car, going south than going north?
