    Crazy shit going down lately, due to DA's that don't prosecute (catch and release) and police that can't do their job anymore.

    Police getting record budgets, and still can't do anything other than harass people for money. I think it's time we try something else. Giving them more money has never actually helped.

    And this is why so many people are more scared of the "Good Guy" who thinks he is carrying a gun so he can protect us all in these situations. When in reality most of them are just as dangerous as the bad guy they dream of protecting us all from.

    Someone on Nextdoor just a few streets over posted that they had their cat converter stolen. I'm afraid to go out and start my car :sigh:

    Starts at the top in every city. These Mayors and Prosecutors that are weak on crime with no improvement efforts or plan, vote them out.
    People within cities or counties can have an impact by voting out politicians that don't make a difference.These are jobs that the people give them if they dont perform get rid of them. Regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, sex

    My brothers pickup was stolen out of his driveway around noon a week or two ago in Canby. Found it across town in a church parking lot with the cat missing. The punched out the ignition drove it there cut off the cat and left it.

    What were they trying to convert their cat to? Sounds like animal cruelty to me.

    I did read somewhere that the metal recyclers aren't paying for catalytic converters anymore and that they're being sold to local mechanics.
