A Los Angeles-area journalist has recorded and posted stunning photos showing a sea of discarded boxes stemming from items bands of thieves took from parked rail cars, providing new visual evidence of societal collapse. The mass robberies also deprive consumers of their goods even as a nationwide supply chain crisis continues to worsen under the Biden regime. "Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA," photojournalist John Schreiber wrote to begin a lengthy Twitter thread last week. "I’m 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," he continued. "This opened package from @REI destined for Bainbridge Island, WA was taken off a train. Typing in the @UPS tracking # and it obviously lists it as 'delayed.' We found lots of opened packages bound for the Northwest along this section of tracks," the local CBS journalist added. Schrieber also reported that the scale of theft was massive. "As you can see, trains frequently slow or stop in this area as they get worked into the @UnionPacific Intermodal facility near Downtown LA. The thieves use this opportunity to break open containers and take what’s inside. I’d say every 4th or 5th rail car had opened containers," he wrote. "Missing a package? Shipment delayed? Maybe your package is among the thousands we found discarded along the tracks. This is but one area thieves have targeted trains. We were told this area was just cleaned up 30 days ago so what you see is all within the last month. @CBSLA," he added. To that point, Schriber also revealed one major reason why law enforcement (which is handled not by the LAPD but Union Pacific police) can't get a handle on the thefts: Think left-wing 'criminal justice' policies that are light on 'enforcement.' Our society is collapsing all around us and the lunatics too many voters keep returning to power are abetting it. What madness. Sources include: Threadreaderapp.com Twitter.com
