🇺🇸 4 teenagers just got tied to nearly 80 burglaries across the Bay Area
The method: hit parked cars overnight, steal the garage door openers left inside, then use them to walk straight into people's garages while everyone slept.
37 hits in Concord alone. 40 more across Contra Costa and Solano counties. One garage alone gave up 14 firearms.
Surveillance caught them pointing a stolen gun at an interior door, apparently waiting to see who walked through it.
But 4 kids can't move that much stolen property alone. Police traced the power tools to a 37-year-old Oakland man who was allegedly buying straight from the teens after every job.
His house: ~$250,000 in stolen goods, including a forklift and an ATV.
Shutting down a teenage burglary ring took a SWAT team, 4 police departments, and the U.S. Marshals.
Property crime with a full supply chain, and the kids were just the labor.

@LibertyLockPod I get it but if that's the case, wouldn't the whole thing have worked the same if they'd just done steps 2>4>3>5, and skipped the 1st step entirely?
Have you heard about the recent approval for satellites to start redirecting sunlight down to the earth from space? What are you thoughts on this?

JUST IN - Trump on Iran: "We're going to hit them very hard tonight and we're going to hit them hard tomorrow — and there's not a damn thing they can do about it."
@LibertyLockPod I know old dudes have heart attacks fairly regularly, but didn't Mitch McConnell just have a heart attack a month ago that has caused the turtle head to go into the shell?
@Megatron_ron Most Trump supporters gave up on FoxNews years ago because of their anti-Trump bias.
Scratch that, most MAGA supporters. Trump supporters now means neo-cons, which ARE FoxNews people.
Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️
⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨
This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨
⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…
The lobbying database confirms the money trail.
