A few days ago, I was listening to Big Bear Lake scanner and they were dispatching for folks that were breaking into cabins, looking for food.

I got the impression that it has become an every day occurrence.

I think you're right granny! Even in our small community, there have been 2 sets of break-ins in 2 weeks. This has been unheard of over the past decades. Most locals never even locked their cars or houses-until now. And the most amazing thing was what was taken - food, medical supplies, hygiene products, as well as the usual-type items to sell. One idiot couple had 17 guns and ammo stolen. Foolish not to at least have a gun safe. But the items to be used, that's the odd part. Even the sheriff attributed it either to guerilla campers (that live in the woods) or unemployed whose benefits have run out.

It's only gonna get worse :(

LOL, in my day we were called “Fruit Tramps” and a lot of other names, guerilla campers is a new name for poor and broken folks.

I do not remember my dad ever stealing anything.

We did live in the camps, the big ones at the farms or the under a tree in the river bottoms, made no difference, it is a matter of survival.

In the 1930’s we were a working society, that is what one did, it was our way of life.

Today, those campers are having withdrawl pains from their
tv sets with many channels, the computers and internet, fancy movies, none of it real and all of it used in their destruction of a society.

The tv taught them the best methods to steal, and little else, that will help them survive.
