Mainly because they're no longer dragging them off and the "leftovers" are still in the back yards. The daily "Where is my kitty?" posts have been replaced with daily "Coyote spotted!" posts.

Edmund Sparkler posted:How many people don't even know that the cops can instantly run your license plate and know whether or not your tags are current and valid? Police aren't going to bother to pull someone over for expired tags right now unless it's an excuse to look for something else. Yeah and depending on where you're at it's going to be automated soon so anyone in the vicinity of a cop car is getting pinged. Not really fair to us poor folks but that human leeway thing you're talking about is a kindness.

I get at least one ‘MY WORKTRUCK WAS STOLEN WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF TOOLS IN IT Nextdoor message a week, as well as other break-in complaints. It’s like, Dude, we live in a semi-sketchy area, why on earth are you leaving anything saleable on the street? I’ve lived here for 18 years and never had anything hosed with, because I don’t leave ANYTHING visible inside a car or truck. If I had a work truck or van full of tools, I’d sleep in the loving thing, those vehicles are like catnip for tweakers.

In my area, it’s more like “THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF TOOLS WERE STOLEN OUT OF THE OPEN AND UNSECURED BED OF MY TRUCK.” This is usually blamed on a combination of how “the DA no longer prosecutes crime”, politicians in Sacramento, and Gavin Newsom personally.

Riatsala posted:no license plate, last plates covered where you can't read them, As a white twenty something in a small northeastern US town, I once got pulled over for failure to display my license plate. In a blizzard. During a declared state of emergency. After being pressed into service by the town. In my plow truck. On my way to plow out one of the Lieutenants so he could get to his (4x4 SUV) cruiser because the police department was short handed and was helping with medical emergencies.

Tons of traffic enforcement like that was suspended due to COVID backlogs but drat if it isn't a sign that all these CRIMINALS and HUMAN TRAFFICKERS are just driving around looking for crimes to do and people to kidnap. Pops up in every thread even remotely related to traffic around here.

Indolent Bastard posted:"while wearing gloves to protect my hands" Context: He posts constantly and a previous post had alluded to him shredding up his hands attempting to do something mundane. He posted on Nextdoor asking for home remedies for severely lacerated hands. I'm thinking it's also possible he's an attempted murderer.

The post is now deleted in her intense frustration but my wife recently posted on NextD about a swastika some rear end in a top hat had made in wet concrete and it was staggering the parade of buffoons who weighed in, arguing about things like how we shouldn't forget the dark parts of history or someone expressing their free speech rights in a city asset that others can plainly see is fine, capped off by the guy who volunteered to come out to "fix it" only for his truck window to break on the way to the job (he lived 45 min away) so he asked us to pay for it, jfc

Just saw this on mine: AUGH, so my neighbors have been complaining about my dogs barking. I hate the electric zap collars, so I went on Amazon and purchased a humane citronella collar. When a dog barks, it shoots a blast of citronella under their nose and apparently, they don't like it. This morning I was getting the collar ready and filled it with the citronella liquid…And that's where my morning should have ended. But no, it's me, and I become curious as to "how" the collars actually work, so I'm standing by my back door "barking" at my dog's collar. (Don't judge me lol) Nothing happens. "8? I make sure it's turned on, check the fill level, and go through the "getting started" check list one more time. Again, I bark. Nothing happens. Now, I'm not quite sure, why I had this next thought, but I did…I put the collar on. I seriously extended the band and fit the growl box against my throat and barked. €© Apparently, the collar only works if it feels vibrations, (who knew 1**) because I immediately received a blast of citronella to the face! I began coughing, @ which only caused the collar to continue squirting citronella spray over and over I'm now on my hands and knees in my back yard, trying to breathe, and to make matters worse, the In dog is barking! So, between coughing and yelling at her to shut up, I've emptied over a dozen blasts of citronella to my face. • During all of this ruckus, I'm trying to undo the clasp of the collar, which has somehow managed to weld shut during this whole fiasco! I finally get the collar off and threw, yes, I THREW that inhumane thing across the yard, and laid in the grass sucking in the hot humid air. 6 In the middle of thinking this is probably the dumbest thing I've done in a while, I hear laughter. MY NEIGHBOR SAW THE WHOLE THING! He was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe. B Between gasps, he tells me, "I was gonna come help, but every time I started to walk over, you'd set it off again and then I would start laughing and I couldn't make it." (Gee thanks jerkface) So now, not only are my eyes red, but my face and ears are too. After checking to make sure I was ok, we parted ways and I went inside to shower so l wouldn't smell like ode de' Tiki Torch. Lesson learned... next time (yes, there will always be a next time with me) I'll make sure that: !.Don't fill the collar before trying to set it off. 2. Remember my neighbor is not a good source of help in a comedy crisis situation. On the plus side, I won't have a mosquito problem for a few days! (eternal optimist here) 3. I hate to break the news that it's a copied story that gave me a good laugh, so feel free to do the same. Have an amazing day!! Posted in General to Anyone

guys obama defunded all the police departments so obviously the criminals are just going wild and taking whatever they want. It's lawlessness! it's not like it used to be, there's way more crime now since... you know, those people, moved here. And the DEMONCRATS are just letting them get away with it!

Gotta love the boomer copypasta jokes https://www.southpointpets.com/blog-content/2019/5/22/a-little-wednesday-humor I swear I read the same thing years ago except with a shock collar, I guess it got updated for a more humane version at some point.

So I ended up accepting that Next Door reviewer thing. I've made like 3 "votes" in the past 2 weeks. You vote on comments that are flagged. It's literally "should this be removed: yes/no/maybe." There aren't a lot of neighbors in my area for some reason so it's not very busy. But I just got this email invitation to the 2022 Neighborhood Leadership Summit. quote:The 2nd-annual Neighborhood Leadership Summit is Nextdoor's premier online event, built in appreciation of, and for, the most critical members of our community: Neighborhood Leads, Makers, Reviewers, and Welcomers. See you there! nah
