@getrippt 3 жыл бұрын

@Carrboro Bear There’s a lot of different factors that will determine if prints are taken. The process itself is not difficult, but it’s what happens to the prints afterward that’s time consuming. Typically sent off to a lab and most are backed up months or over a year. A property crime would not be very high on the list of priorities for the lab either. Even a motor vehicle theft wouldn’t be very important in comparison to all the other horrible stuff going on today. Results may vary by size of department also. If it’s a small department, maybe they have the time to do a really good investigation and possibly solve it. A large department are typically dealing with homicides, felony assault, etc. That card he was given is essentially a report number so the victim can give it to their insurance to start a claim.

Depends wer you live. The father you are from large population centers the less crime there is. I live in a city were I lock everything but I come from a small town 100km north of here. Nobody locks anything and my Dad actually leaves his wallet in an unlocked vehicle. 😂 I wouldn't dream of doing that where I live. The worst thing that happens in that town is under age drinking and the grocery store gets broken into sometimes. My guess is some seedy locals saw that some out off towners broke down and then hatched a plan to steal it and strip it. I wouldn't doubt they were stipping it on that cliff, saw Matt and the guys show up and then took off. Otherwise theyd have taken more.

@@ckm-mkc -- It's a matter of risk vs reward... Catching thieves does not bring money into the department / city and in fact ends up costing the city money to prosecute them and imprison them. Also, catching actual criminals can result in them disagreeing rather violently, sometimes in a manner that is even deadly... Thus, high risk, low reward... Revenue enhancement activities (i.e. traffic fines) is relatively low risk and high reward since the people just pay the fine usually (even if they are not guilty) because it is not worth their time and trouble to fight it. It's just human nature to go with low risk and high reward. I might not like their revenue enhancement endeavors, but I can see whey they would choose it over actually catching real criminals.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. In our canals down here in S. Florida we have had matching Jags in the canal. One had the radio stolen out of it. The other had the tires and rims missing. 200 cars a year have been pulled out in some years. We've had them dumped with more than one car sitting nose to tail so that the rear of the second one was out of the water. Both were stripped. Stolen boats have been found in the canals. Including one that came up against the intake grates of our pump station. When the police called the owner, traced thru the reg #, the owner said it wasn't his as his was in his backyard. Police asked him to go out and check. When he came back on the phone, he said his boat wasn't there.But we already knew that. It also had been stripped of the fish finder, engine and stern drive, and the seats and top. There was an auto chop shop operating in the area. The police ended up setting up for a couple nights an observation post on top of our building. Several days later, about a half dozen unmarked vehicles and a few more marked vehicles showed up. Came in and told us we might want to be in another location if possible for a few hours. They raided the chop shop and were expecting troubles.

Honestly, I am surprised you don't have more cases like this. Seems like it would be easy pickings for thefts when no one is on scene. They can say they were trying to just help out if they got caught with it before leaving. Curious if are all access to the park controlled or monitored?

Bro, your videos are better than 90% of other shows on tv and the "repo/towing" shows, not naming any names (lizard lick towing) is so scripted I don't see how they are still on the air.. all of those shows. I love how real your videos are. Thank you for putting out quality. I grew up in a family that owned a towing and recovery business so it just really makes me feel nostalgic.

A mountain dew for breakfast? LOL Hope they catch those theives. Back in the late 80's we had a CJ5 stolen, taken to the badlands out of town and stripped for the seats and transmisson and transfer case, We caught the boy because he had been in the dealership complaining before the theft about needing parts. The parts were found in his garage a couple of days after the theift. And of course the court just gave him a slap on the hand. And we were out 10,000.00 on a damaged jeep.

They need to keep the beer cans for DNA later and lift the finger prints off the RZR. It won't be long before someone spots that unique vehicle, tell the Park workers to keep a lookout. When you find the vehicle, check the drivers, they have done this before. Crooks must be confronted at every chance. Thieves belong behind bars.

the police won't check. i had a $50,000 bobcat tractor stolen off a trailer in my yard and the police refused to even check for fingerprints even on things that a thief must have touched to get it off the trailer. my yard is right next door to the police station and they wouldnt check their cameras outside to see if someone drove by with a trailer. they are useless.

@@udavidism the problem with that is there are so many fingerprints from so many people who worked on it. also there are chain of custody requirements so even if you got the right one it wouldnt count as evidence. i think i should have gone to the local paper in my case because the one location on the trailer ramp would have given clear prints and they said "its not like it is on tv"

Remember that the Deputy/Ranger/Officer is putting his life on the line every day to protect total strangers - we can't judge his intentions or motivations from a 15 second video clip.

It's really important to note that the police themselves don't do detailed investigation unless it's really fresh and will be easy and sensible to catch someone. That's more of a dedicated investigator's job. The police, in this case for example, are just trying to get a report together, to get it to the then-proper authorities. Throwing too much info at a cop who you're trying to make a report to is kind of just dust in the wind, unless they are specifically going to go find the person or if you know whatever is going on is within quick time frame to be solved. It took me a long time personally to figure this out and I realize that most people, as well, don't know this. Treat these interactions more like submitting paperwork or a report, literally, and you'll be helping more than you would if you tell a story or chronological chain of events. "Here's what I got" vs "Here's what I think happened" not much gonna come from the latter.

Even if you don't have cell phone service and nobody seems to be seeing your smoke signals or carrier pigeons? Think about it the other way, what if you're stranded out there and thugs come along and do harm to you, too? It's just a vehicle, if worth much then have insurance on it.
