  Probably won’t be posting here much going forward. The fires in LA really proved to me how unhelpful Twitter has become after once being a vital source of info. Find me at bsky.app/profile/johnsc… or instagram.com/johnschreiberc… (photo from Mountain Fire in Camarillo)

  Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages,
  @UPS
  boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains.

  Jeff Bezos' brand new Gulfstream G700 parked just across the tarmac from us at Van Nuys Airport today. The $80-million jet can travel at Mach 0.935 making it the fastest jet in Gulfstream's lineup. #G700 #Gulfstream #avgeek

  Missing a package? Shipment delayed? Maybe your package is among the thousands we found discarded along the tracks. This is but one area thieves have targeted trains. We were told this area was just cleaned up 30 days ago so what you see is all within the last month.

  As you can see, trains frequently slow or stop in this area as they get worked into the
  @UnionPacific
  Intermodal facility near Downtown LA. The thieves use this opportunity to break open containers and take what’s inside. I’d say every 4th or 5th rail car had opened containers.

  Spotted this thing from 10 miles away flying over #Malibu today. Is that a.... real life #Barbie Malibu House?? Seems to be. Pink everything... a water slide... floating "KEN" letters. Publicity stunt? Huge Barbie fans? Filming location #BarbieMovie ? Who knows.

  I’m told by law enforcement these
  @UPS
  bags are especially sought after by thieves opening cargo containers… they are often full of boxes with merchandise bound for residential addresses. More valuable than say, a cargo container full of low value bulky items like toilet paper.

  Responsibility for policing the railroad right of way falls on Union Pacific Police... not local agencies like LAPD. We did see Union Pacific police chasing two people today off the tracks and keeping an eye on things.

  This opened package from
  @REI
  destined for Bainbridge Island, WA was taken off a train. Typing in the
  @UPS
  tracking # and it obviously lists it as “delayed.” We found lots of opened packages bound for the Northwest along this section of tracks.

  Nearly every floor of the dormant Oceanwide Plaza luxury development in Downtown LA was tagged this week. I counted 27 floors of graffiti. The $1 billion project was stalled 5 years ago and sits just across from LA Live and the red carpet for Sunday's Grammys.

  Unfortunately
  @UPS
  , it’s gonna take a lot more than a tracking number in this situation.
