The good news is that I will not be complaining about anything today.
When you live as close to the Mexican border as we do, car theft is a huge problem. It is common for cars to be stolen from large parking lots, especially those near the freeway. Once a stolen car is on the freeway, it is less than an hour to the border.
My office is nestled between a big mall and a large commercial center, so it has been an inviting target for car thieves. Of course, I have a fool-proof system to avoid car theft. I drive a piece of junk no one really wants.
This afternoon our building was the scene of a major bust of a car theft ring. About 10 cops in full army gear, including ski masks, helmets and automatic weapons, nabbed some guys in the act of stealing a car. This was a serious group of police. It must have been an ongoing police operation because as soon as the knucklehead car thieves got into a car they were surrounded by guys pointing machine guns at them. They had to be following them.
I took these pictures out of my office window. You can see one of the miscreants sitting on the sidewalk, in the middle image. He got to wear those cool handcuffs made from giant cable ties. It was really hot today so he must have been sweating, figuratively and literally. I don't know how the police bear the heat in those getups.
Someone came in and said that a couple of shots were fired. I didn't hear them but the swat team formed a circle around the area on guard against something.
Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong and sometimes just full of it.
