<![CDATA[Fargo PD and Car Theives]]>To all the people who say the FPD has done nothing regarding thefts, do you think it just took them some time to find enough info and they are now putting the plan into action? There have been like 20+ arrests regarding auto theft in the past week now it seems like. Or do you think it's just because the break ins were making so much media rukus that they were "forced" into action?

The best part is he was caught on video and the funniest is the safe was so heavy he threw it down the stairs lol, my brother told me when he saw the stairs it looked like someone decided to smash them in with a giant hammer lol. but the guy got away with the safe and $100 but walked past the other stuff, too much trouble for a safe yeah?

Someone broke into his car and stole his radar detector. For some reason they didn't take the 2 guns that were in the car nor did they take the laptop...go figure!

Some theives are smart enough to dodge stuff like that. They'll load the car into a closed-box truck, then drive that truck off to somewhere neutral like a grocery store parking lot.

When it looks like there's no heat, then they move it to a chop shop or whereever.

Easily countered by tracking the vehicle and waiting til you see someone get into it again. Track it down and wait just like them...once they think it's safe and decide to bring it to wherever you show up with Jonny 12 Gauge and show them some street love.

Figure without the GPS you lose the car anyways, might as well lose it in style and with the possibility of killing the thief too. Even though a GPS system would allow you to track the car, many people don't like to keep a vehicle after it's been stolen. Hell, you could have the OPTION of blowing it up or you could just track it down and kill the person yourself and get your car back.

#3 is the most likely

  1. GPS device w/ remote detonator

Being as you more than likely lost your vehicle if it's been stolen, might as well make the effers pay right!

It's probably attracting a lot of attention, so they're forced to either actually work for once or - God forbid - look bad.

When my mom's car was stolen and later found a few years go, there were papers in the trunk belonging to some woman. The woman had already been in prison a couple times for car theft and the police had been to her house a couple days prior to ask her about a different car theft. But, they had the car and they closed the case without even trying to make any arrests. The fact that they couldn't put 2 and 2 together in a simple case like that is just ridiculous, and that's the main reason I have no respect for police officers in Fargo.

one arrest was made when a person was actually sittin in their car and someone tried breaking in....they called the cops and the person ran, but they seen where they went.

I heard a couple weeks ago they caught a couple 14yr old girls...

If you call in and say you had some stuff stolen but have no info on it, they still wont do shit about it.
