The reports of widespread pillaging at the LA rail yards probably doesn't help. The story goes that if a train car is loaded and left overnight, it's empty in the morning.

Wow, hadn’t heard about that. Scary.

It's so bad, the UPS and FedEx boxes are covering the tracks, and the trains have to slow down because of the debris.

I am mind blown… I thought perhaps it was an exaggeration, but it’s not. Estimated 90 carts are compromised a day. I am mind blown.

Is this still the USA….

Think of the insurance cost that’s covering that sort of thing. Mind blowing.

You’d think the shipping (train) company could provide some additional security. Astonishing to read the stories in the LA times. Crime up 160%!

On the plus side, none of the photos I’ve seen include any Sonos boxes :)

But I’d imagine the shipping company has to cover the cost of loss while packages are in their control. Doesn’t help the companies any, like REI (as called out in one article). But sad, nonetheless.

It's insanity. The LA cops and Union Pacific police (they have their own police force) catch the offenders, but the DA's office won't charge them due to new reforms and they go right back out and do it again.
