Apparently the LAPD does not have jurisdiction over train track smash and grab. It is the responsibility of the Union Pacific Police. oh my!!!

The Union Pacific Police are based in Omaha, Nebraska. I hope they are on their way.

Local CBS affiliate ran a story on this with the image above.

LAPD has jurisdiction but has to have a complaint from the property owner to get involved--that's the sacrosanct private property system for ya.

I'm getting to the point where my compassion is exhausted. Our next mayoral election is going to be decided on this single issue, because the bums are wrecking our parks and public spaces, destroying our amenities, and stealing everything they can get their hands on. We got bedbugs in the fall riding the subway because of the bums using the subway as a crash pad. Cost me $3,000 and a month of living out of a suitcase to de-bug the house.

To paraphrase Captain Kirk in The Trouble With Tribbles, "I want them out of my city. I don't care if takes every man we've got, I want them out of the city."



If only we could beam them into the Klingons' engine room...

We don't mollycoddle them up here in the Dakotas so they like you all a lot better and will stay there.

Dealers should collude and come up with a keyword like "prewar". I used to search large dealers by category and impulse buy all sorts of stuff that I wasn't looking for. My eBay buying has gone way, way down since they eliminated the categories. 20 years ago I had fun selling on eBay. I would never even think of listing anything on there now.

I don't sell on ebay but I still buy. And there are more fakes, reprints and forgeries than ever.
