Dane Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Thanks to those that responsed on part 1. I just saw all the private messages and will get back to you asap. More importantly we need anyone who has been a victim at any skiing/climbing/ hiking area parking lot in the last 3 years to file a report if you haven't already. That is easily done via the phone @ KCSO Com center 206 296 3311 or by dialing 911 and getting into that program. Just let them know where it happened, when it happened, who was involved and anything else they ask. Without that data there is no crime. Please make an effort to get anyone who has been a victim now or in the past 3 years to file a report. The report that was filed in September, case number, 03-290856 has indeed been investigated. No charges have been forth coming...not enough evidence was my take on it. That may not be entirely correct. But my suggestion is we need to do more to have this followed through on. A flood of victim reports to KCSO would be a great start. Quote
LUCKY Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Does having my car prowled 6 time last season with nothing being taken count? If the KCSO would respond to a car prowl in progress there would not be a problem. Yet they have the nerve to consider exit 38 for sex predator houseing Then you could go climbing , fishing, biking...car prowled and raped in the same day Quote
Thinker Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Maybe you should consider changing your Avatar to something else...I think "LUCKY" might be jinxing you. Quote
Dane Posted November 26, 2003 Author Posted November 26, 2003 (edited) Here is the facts jack... Any crime, including having your car prowled needs to be reported if you actually want to do something about it. I read somewhere, Lucky, that you offer your expert opinion to others on whether or not their cars have been recently. Stealing credit cards #s might be a victimless crime. After all the bank pays it when or if the fake charges are founds weeks or months later. "Victimless crime" is why this has continued. Takes about as long to report this stuff as it does to cruise this web site once a day. Does having my car prowled 6 time last season wito nothing being taken count? If the KCSO would respond to a car prowl in progress there would not be a problem. Hard to believe but the KCSO has a some what limited coverage over much of King County. No one has been hurt (yet) and very few have been attentive enough to actually file incident reports. But just like climbing you can take some responsibility on yourself if you want to solve the problem. If you haven't filed 6 incident reports....which can all be done over the phone then you aren't willing to do much. With very few victims willing to express their distain you won't be seeing KCSO in a big hurry to get to a car prowl in progress 10 miles from no where. Them is the facts jack............

Reports, phone ins, and even gone to the effort of signage. Then in September another incident and report. All for nothing! The report and interview turned into he said/she said and the BGs walked. There is nothing of substance being done from my review. But it isn't from lack of interest. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 LUCKY is a good man. All flame directed at him is really not necessary or justified. I have known him since when was it? 95 or so... LUCKY, keep driving the climbers the way you have. Quote

Sure, the banks are the ones who actually cover the charges, but they don't just pull that money out of thin air - they pull it out of you and me and the girl working at the coffee shop and the guy who tunes up your car and... Ever heard of service charges? Ever been charged interest on anything? Banks have to cover hundreds of millions of dollars each year in credit card fraud in the U.S. alone, which means they have to charge their customers (including you) hundreds of millions of dollars in fees and interest each year to cover those costs, and that amount is increasing rapidly. They also charge retailers like me a % fee for each transaction. The more fraud they have to absorb, the higher that % goes, and that increase eventually shows up in the price of every single item you buy. So if the Exit 38 bandit is in fact credit card related, then by all means do what you can to stop them, because make no mistake they are costing each of you money, even if it isn't your car or your credit card that's involved, even if you've never been to or even heard of Exit 38.
