Train tracks used for freight-transport in Los Angeles resembled a garbage dump Thursday as thieves have been raiding cargo containers and leaving shipping packaging in their wake.
The screwy scene at a section of Union Pacific train tracks was captured by CBSLA – which also filmed an apparent thief darting from the area while carrying packages.
The sea of scrapped cardboard contained discarded items from Amazon, REI and other popular retailers, the outlet reported.
Union Pacific acknowledged the “cargo thefts” in a statement to the news station and said they have taken steps to crack down on the crimes.
The LAPD doesn’t respond to train thefts, sources told CBSLA, unless the freight-company specifically requests help.

Look at all the Amazon packages on the tracks.
So the state of California is becoming a “no-go” zone?
Lost Angeles.
Robbing trains is a federal crime,isn’t it?
WOW 😳😱😲
Wasn’t “They Live” set in Los Angeles?
Where are the Pinkertons when you really need them?
Yeah, regulators would just shoot you dead, white privilege or no, for doing this, the offense very much akin to piracy. That’s interfering with interstate commerce.
Bring in 3rd world scum and you get the 3rd world results.
A cardboard recycler paradise.
Solution: Don’t ship anything to California. Don’t drive a truck there either. Why risk your life?
Blue city - blue state - hellhole...
The people of california getting what they demanded through the ballot box “nice and hard”.
There is absolutely no reason to set foot in or fly over Californistan. Not for love, for life, or for wealth.
Just another reason to not live in lawless liberal Democrat-ruined California.
The democrats willingly allowed the underclass to steal. This is the expected result. The “oppressed” are taking what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”
Thanks to democrats, there will be more of this.
Come on Man, how else are they supposed to get thier stuff?
Don’t worry, super-poofter, Transportation Sec. Buttyjuice is on the job!
They raided the stores.
Store shelves are empty.
Thieves and looters moved upstream to the railcars.
What happens when the railcars are empty??
