Austin thieves stole truck from my friend's business Saturday
My friend | 20 July 2021 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Saturday, 7-17-2021, at 9 a.m., thieves stole a 1 ton truck from my friend's oilfield service business east of Austin, TX. My friend was home and did not notice the brazen theft right under his nose.

He noticed Monday morning when his crews needed the truck for work. The GPS unit hidden in the truck allowed him to find it in Austin where it had been stripped of all equipment/tools on the bed and left near a homeless encampment. The police were not eager to enter that area according to my friend. He was only able to recover what was left of the truck because the thieves had left it to see if it had a tracker and planned to come back and get the rest later.

The homeless encampment is near a row of low end shops run by you-know-who. The Austin police and city government know this is going on and have done little to nothing about it. We are turning into Mexico here with open season on all of peoples' possessions for the political gain of politicians who live protected by high security.

We are now third-world.

It’s not just the outside but inside office buildings, too. We were there on business about 5 years ago and the city was oozing commie vibes. We had to either be escorted to offices or call ahead to arrange for some sort of entrance code and then had to guess where to go because there were no lobby directories or names on doors. When we found the right doors they were locked so we again had to call or knock to be let in. Even then everyone would peek out the door and act scared to let us in.

That experience was everywhere we went. You can’t pay me enough to ever go back.

I was working for a company located in the ghetto of detroit.. when the sun glistened off the razor wire in the parking lot it was just beautiful...


I have family in Costa Rica. Virtually everything is built and maintained to prevent theft. Private homes in nice neighborhoods have razor wire, bars on the windows, broken glass on wall tops, etc. The banks I’ve seen there have shotgun-wielding guards outside the door as well as inside. I think most of Latin America is the same.

Compared to where they come from, our homes, yards and general layouts look completely undefended to those of them inclined to steal. Plus with our new and improved ‘whatever-you-do-don’t-lock-criminals-up’ prosecutors, stealing is both easy and pretty much risk-free.

Don’t blame the cops. They don’t want to risk getting their rainbow patches smudged.

That like saying that a truck was stolen from Guadalajara and was found in Tijuana. Austin is a 3rd world sh!t hole. Thank Abbott for doing nothing about that...and he lives there....temporarily I hope! He is beyond worthless. Luckily you have Huffines or Col. West to choise from. We'll see how smart Texans are.

Who do you expect to be reading this?   Is this some double naught spy stuff?   Because I haven't a clue who?
