Just another side effect of Covid handouts creating less desire for gainful employment, raw materials escalation, the Great Resignation and mostly the Sir George of Fentanyl neutering of law enforcement.
Sound like a broken record, but the stats don't lie. Crime is UP exponentially (figuratively) in many areas. But to be expected when you can commit a crime, and then flip the bird at the Police and know that you'll never be held arrested or held accountable.
At least the latter is beginning to change around here.
Best of luck to everyone who is at higher risk of this theft and vandalism. It's costing us big $ on jobs. To the point of giving our job trucks that would otherwise stay on site, to employees, as take home vehicles, just to lessen the chance of it happening. In the last month, on one job, on a F550 gasser that NO ONE would want to commute in, so it sits onsite overnight, gas tank punched and drained. Repaired, back on the job, slip tank for diesel, drained and vandalized, and then the cat stolen.
