Our car was stolen in Eugene over a decade ago and the cops had that same attitude. It was only found when someone called it in to the cops because it was Infront of their house for days
jeez, KGW! “Armed with… weapons!” dafuq?! now we’re reduced to vague scare tactics? as for citizens stepping into the breach, excellent job! keep up the good work.
I had a Jeep stolen, (an old XJ, that’s better than any of the new Jeeps) a couple years ago. Portland police did nothing. In fact, when I asked specifically if they ever check vins at any of the camps, they ghosted me. The same vehicle had a second attempted theft 2 months ago. In my opinion, the city, starting with Wheeler, and every bit of the lack of law enforcement, is every bit criminally responsible for letting a camp like this persist. Good for this group doing their part, but for most people, too little, too late.
Yeah no the people helping people in the group are great! But that dude Titan is a phony attention hungry liar. He wasn’t even actively part of the group till it got publicity and then he was quick to remove and block the people who were actually helping folks everyday recover vehicles. Just recently I was trying to help a guy get his car back I knew where it was and Titan removed and blocked me from the group. I literally had the vehicle’s registration and location and Titan didn’t want the vehicle recovered by its actual owner for some weird reason. It was suspicious as hell. And he’s done that to a buttload of people too.
You will get more crimes when criminals know that there will be no consequences. Keeping stolen properties on your property should be a crime, we should hold the property owner accountable.
I find that odd as well. I live in a Bergen County, NJ. County population is nearly 1 million. In 2020 there were 670 auto thefts all year. It's nearly impossible to start a modern car today without the key fob. Either Portland is full of old junkers that can be easily hot-wired, or the thieves are using tow-trucks, or most of these 'theft' reports are actually insurance scams.
Many cities have car jacking with tons of stolen cars that the owners have no idea what happened to them? What we must understand when these cars were stolen, people's property was in them & these items can not be replaced. PDX is just one company that has helped in returning these vehicles to there rightful owner. As a vehicle theft victim I know what this feels like to go out to get in your car & it's gone.

They are a joke. They allow members to post hate messages based on confrontation and nothing to do with reporting actual stolen cars. They also slow messages of falsely accusing other members of stealing vehicles to get them booted. Good luck.
@@992001jeffr you mean defund the police so they don’t overload on deadly mass destructive weapons, so they can be trained to value life instead of power trip?
@@odar9729 9 unarmed black men were shot and killed by police in this country last year. There’s roughly 700,000 police officers in the country. You’re the one on a power trip for believing that police shoot every black person they encounter.

The police have be crooked up there. No way they would be looking the other way if they weren’t on the take. I suppose they could just be INCOMPETENT, but money talks.
The most galling part of this is that there are no consequences for criminal activity.
Thank the DA, he is a large part of the reason cops do not even bother anymore
Thank the residents who voted DA in office. Why do they continue to elect Democrats into office ?
Dudes you are amazing and making a difference....bravo!
My Heroes! Can we get some funding for the men who are doing the police's job for them? Please! Nothing like a good man on a bike!
Really especially now
This is what Portland voted for. Well done
Do u believe your vote counts😂😅

City of Portland charge property tax higher than most of place. Where all the money goes?

Heroes. Thank you. It's only a matter of time before car insurance rates go up sky high. Time to crack down on car thieves.
That's what happens when you defund the police
God bless these guys!!!
They arrested and release. I know who is a big part of this and I tried to plaster it on Nextdoor, Nextdoor removed it.
Put him on blast on RUclips
Tell us, tell the administrator at PDX stolen cars.
A controlled burn of your property would clear the land
Well give the homeless a 16 million’s help and the cops 7 millions you can see why they are doing it 🤨
That 16 million went to agencies who are sitting pretty. The homeless do get some services but in general they're clearly not getting a lot of help.
jeez, KGW! “Armed with… weapons!” dafuq?! now we’re reduced to vague scare tactics?

Sometimes Facebook is a good thing I guess. These people getting the cars back are real heroes. Law enforcement, not so much....

Fantastic
So again the police know where this is but no cameras have been set up. And you wonder why?
Lol Portland cops are a joke 😂 Best thing you can do is move out of Portland, it's not going to get better anytime soon.
Portland, no thanks.
