Woodcutter Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Last thursday (26th) most of the cars in the lower lot got broken into somewhere about 11AM. Maybe 7 or 8 cars all with rear windows smashed. I reckon whoever it was smashed all the windows as the train went through. However, I think they were disturbed before they could rob all the cars. They hadn't gone into my car, and many others also. There was a fella who'd lost his passport & wallet, and he was rightly steamed. I think I'm gonna park in town & walk next time.

Woodcutter Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 "town',,,you know the place with the store! What nice crackheads they were, they only bust the rear windows to save us all some dough!&^%*(&^%#^%#*)(*()(()()()((*( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I wish the crackheads would agree to not bust windows out if we all promise to leave our cars unlocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 reckon you could always roll the windows down for them too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric K Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 In europe I would regularly leave my car unlocked and glove box open so crooks could see there was nothing in my car. I guess I will need to start doing this over here. Or the WCC could hire a parking lot guard, whichever is easier. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 For what it's worth, I had all doors unlocked, trunk unlocked, and a visibly empty car. They still smashed in my back window that day. (and took nothing, I don't think they even went inside) Apart from looking out for one another and intentionally striking up conversations with suspicious-looking meth heads (+1 for profiling) I'm not sure there is really a strategy that works here.

denalidave Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sounds like a climber community sting/beat down is the only solution. Once a few tweakers get a good ass whoop'n and/or arrested by the local craggers, maybe they will move on to easier targets??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's been my experience that you do not want to mess with those who have less to lose than you. It's easy to talk tough, but coming face to face with a tweaker in full tweak is one of the scariest things I've ever seen. I don't envy the police.

ivan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 indeed, fucking w/ tweakers is like fucking w/ black-berry bushes - dangerous and fairly unlikely to result in the damn problem going away anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zub Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Would tweakers be dissuaded by a comprehensive battery of surveillance cameras? They need not be real cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Would tweakers be dissuaded by a comprehensive battery of surveillance cameras? They need not be real cameras. I wonder how long it would be before the cameras were stolen? It would be kind of a fun experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obwan Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 They probably follow this website like the dude up at Static Point in the Monroe area (and enjoy the publicity), not much helps - even police reports. Maybe we could hire a pair of guys to stand guard with shotguns, pretending to be backwoods hunters ( notice I said pair - need a witness with camera). The notion of breaking all the windows when the train passes is probably correct - and then go through as many as you can. F---ing Dirt Bags. That sucks.

kerwinl Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I wonder if parking in town at the school and walking down the tracks would prevent the break ins. I know that there is not enough parking to make this a viable option for everyone, but maybe is a solution for low traffic days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I haven't been out to index in a few years but I wonder about thinning (removing?) the vegetation from between the road and parking lot to increase visibility. Anyone know if the state would allow such work to be conducted by volunteers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadman Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 There's a pretty big burm between the road and the parking lot, wouldn't really do any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obwan Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Parking at the school has worked for me the last couple times I was there - but you are right parking is limited and it was midweek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
