    We can continue with nitpicking and responding to some individuals in Bamfack Pennsylvania who most likely does not have a passport

    Bay area has massive crime.

    It’s getting worse.

    Gaslighting people because nobody bothers to report crime anymore is not going to make it go away or make this a better place to live.

    I literally feel safer walking around in Bangkok than I do in San Francisco.

    When I go to my local Planet Fatness, I change in the locker room, and put my stuff in the smaller lockers out on the floor. Too many jackals around poaching stuff.

    That's pretty crappy of them. Locker thefts at our gyms isn't uncommon and my guys do take theft reports. Fortunately they didn't get a hold of your credit cards and ID.

    I like your sticker, where'd you get it?

    EDIT:

    Found one on Ebay. I don't sticker up the exterior of my truck, but I do the bottom of the tonneau cover!

    I was a member for 3 or more years, and both locations I used let random non-members come in. I would use a treadmill or stairclimber by the desk, and you could watch folks come in, they need a bathroom, water, sit in the heat/AC.
    This was part of my decision to leave and one of my questions for the new gym.

    Someone mentioned an apple air tag (or a few) hidden in the vehicle somewhere for tracking purposes. Theft happens in all states.

    I had a really bad issue a few years back with an organized group of individuals trying to steal my 4Runner over the course of several months. Ended up disconnecting the battery, pulling starter and fuel pump fuses, steering wheel club, ect. Was tempted to leave it on jack stands, but never did. Thieves stole a neighbors vehicle instead and some guns from another neighbors unlocked truck. - Secure your firearms and don't be a Dumbass.

    Police were of no help. Everyone on our block has security camera's now and participates in a group watch. We support the 2nd too. :infantry:

    You are correct, theft happens in all states.

    But I can rattle off hundreds of places I would rather leave my vehicle unlocked with the windows down than the Bay Area (locked, under lights, all the security measures).

    Crime can happen anywhere, but it’s definitely a problem when it becomes more than a coincidence.

    See post #37 in this thread. Have someone read it to you and explain if you’re incapable.

    People like that always find a way to skirt the line on what is and isn't considered politics by the mod team.
