Amazon packages, UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains.

Im told by law enforcement these UPS bags are especially sought after by thieves opening cargo containers they are often full of boxes with merchandise bound for residential addresses. More valuable than say, a cargo container full of low value bulky items like toilet paper.

As you can see, trains frequently slow or stop in this area as they get worked into the Union Pacific Intermodal facility near Downtown LA. The thieves use this opportunity to break open containers and take whats inside. Id say every 4th or 5th rail car had opened containers.

Can't they like have guards/cops in that area? Like it is a train, while they can be fairly long, they are going to be on the tracks so you know where it is possible for folks to try to rob the train. <_<

The cops don't need to interfere with these fiery but mostly peaceful burglaries. The lives of those taking stuff are more important than possessions.

There aren't any good Pokemon by the train yard though, so you can't expect LAPD to stick around. They've got more important mons to catch, I'm sure.

Like I'm all for lowered sentences and stuff. But there's a big difference between leniency and stupidity. >_> Not being able to do anything about very predictable crimes falls under stupidity.

I have to LOL at some of the Reddit comments thinking this is some sophisticated heist pulled off by an Ocean's Eleven crew. This is nothing more than roving methheads looking for goods to pawn, and a some underpaid overnight Union trainyard staff that have 0 incentive to care about stopping theft, much less reporting it.

But that's fine. This is exactly the catalyst Amazon and other online retailers need to innovate and create their own shipping infrastructure. They've already evolved from using USPS and UPS to deliver their own packages. How much longer until they develop their own carting methods? And most importantly, get other businesses to use them instead of traditional shipping avenues and say goodbye to FexEx/UPS/USPS?

Leave these burglars alone. This is a victimless crime and they wouldnt be doing it if the system didnt totally fail them.

Hiring extra security or locking the trains up better would just be boneheaded and quite frankly bigoted.

Maybe all those poor Californians who were waiting on their Epipens, covid tests, and PS5s only to have them stolen by roving gangs will say "Enough is enough" with Gavin Newsom and vote to recall him. Oh wait, they already tried that and the people love him dearly.
