Got a Japanese neighbor in San Francisco who asked me for plumbing help, I know multiple trades.
While checking his leaking faucet issue, he asked me if I'm vaccinated. Told him "No.". He ran to grab his mask, slapped it on, and promptly started educating me in why I should have it, especially with a new born.
I ignore his "educational" tirade, and told him what to do to fix his leak, asked me if he wants me to fix today. He said another time, so I went home.
Two days later, at 3am, I heard a power tool outside, so I got up to take a peek out side the window. There was a SUV parked next to his old Toyota car, guy with headlamp, working under his car. I thought catalyst converter theft with a Sawsahl, so I took a picture and video to share with him the next day.
Next day me and another neighbor, Chinese, shared with him what happened. Japanese neighbor complaining that he can't believe crime is creeping into our neighborhood. I responded, the cops will not do anything and it's San Francisco, what did he expect.
Told him to do a police report and report it to his insurance.
I couldn't stop laughing internally.
laws in cali make it so that these new workers "haversting" parts from cars are in fact performing a sanctioned job. That means they're taking allowable gains. The fact that you claim ownership is irrelevant. this is allowed by law, the cops know it, the harvesters know it. The overlords solved crime by re-categorizing it. be quiet and let em get back to work while your overlords make things you like to do illegal.
