“Adrienne, what is behind this dramatic spike in these thefts? 🤔” — They say there’s no such thing as a stupid question; but bruhhhh 😂😂😂
@Jeff Goddin How are you going to pay for UBI?
@rise like lions after slumber.. Define a living wage
@Kevin Preston a wage that provides all basic needs with at least 15% left over for “fun,” while working no more than 40hs per week, with annual holiday and sick pay.
@rise like lions after slumber.. Does that or anything else that u had advocated, fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government? Define basic needs
@Kevin Preston well, yeah obviously some of it does. Basic needs would be food, safe shelter, healthcare, an ability to feed a family of four. The point wasn’t what your government is doing, but what you choose to fight for.
About 10 years ago this happened at a dealership my friend worked at. Instead of using a drill they just used a hammer and a chisel to punch through the tank. They hit something like 40-50 cars in one night.
@David Cat Prices of gas and food where skyrocketing before Biden financed Putin’s invasion. Inflation was the highest in 40 years BEFORE the invasion. Biden helped get the price’s higher so Putin could make more money on his oil.
Brianna could use these same tactics to steal bacon grease. 🥓 🐖
@David Cat
I have no problem with that.. My pit bull sleeps
In my truck bed.
@George German
Love dog owners. My next door neighbour has a pitbull. Whenever he’s out the dog constantly barks. About once a week I throw some cheap hamburger mince laced with laxatives over the fence. It’s pretty funny to watch the guy constantly hosing down his back porch while swearing at the dog. I have politely ask him to do something about the dog barking and he told me to mind my own effing business. So I made it my business to make sure his dog did his business all over the guys porch.
BAHAHAHA so thats why they call it land of the free. what a crappy country.
Here the thieves are taking gas out of trucks parked at boat landings while people are out on their boats.
Smart..
Smart on the surface. If they get blast with a shotgun then you can see the foolish decision they made.
Well done.

@Kevin Warner Almost as foolish as blasting someone with a shotgun for crawling under a vehicle. Just think how that’ll feel, being “in the right” while rotting in prison.
The spike in gas is likely ‘fuelling’ this crime..
Really?
@NeEd InPuT too*
@NeEd InPuT To bright what? Or did you mean “two”? I’m so confused!
@P three bright four bright
BAHAHAHA so thats why they call it land of the free. what a crappy country.
No pun intended
Battery drills, grinders and impacts are the new easy theft tools of America. Crazy bad situation.
Have been waiting for this to happen. Moved my car off the street. 😖😢
https://youtu.be/SEoCP3HpGFo
Well done.
Stold 20 bucks worth of gas And left behind a 40 dollar drill…. Well played….
Lol most likely he stole I
Such is the life of woke thieves. Don’t try to understand their thought process.
BAHAHAHA so thats why they call it land of the free. what a crappy country.
@Iamkarma Where your drill is $25? The point stands. Plus, if you leave your incriminating finger prints at the scene of a potentially violent crime that might cost you a little more than $40.
@Alex DuWaldt TY. Your knowledge of crime scenes and the law is astounding. Without your input I am quite sure I would still be wandering/trolling youtube not knowing that I needed the guidance of such an enlightened individual! Now piss off😉😂
Who else thinks these thieves are the same ones that scream bloody murder if someone steals from them?
https://youtu.be/SEoCP3HpGFo
Not me
I do.
I also think woman-gropers, child-gropers, and wife beaters are the ones who cry and fall down and get tears and scream “you’re hurting me” when a man or a cop touches them.

@Retired Arthropod most cops aren’t real men either so
This goes back to at least the 1970’s, every time gas price pops we hear of this particular “crime wave”. It’s in their go to bucket.
We didn’t have locking gas caps in the ’60’s.
@Bo McGillacutty Compare the price of gas here in the US and in other countries like Great Britain. You’re going to have to do some math, but you’ll see where the prices were kept ARTIFICIALLY LOW.
Spoiler alert: Compared to most countries, the price for gas in the United States is much lower HERE. Only countries that actually HAVE oil in the ground have it cheaper than we do. And we’re bitching about a comparatively increase…. Which is NOT ‘just America’ but the entire f__king PLANET.
Don’t talk to me about ‘reality’ until you wake up and experience some.
This wasn’t the part of the 70’s that I wanted to return to.
@Jeff Goddin Is that how you explain human trafficking and wife-beating?
@xaenon They are crooks. They are low. And they like to be that way.
Thank Biden for energy dependent-policy
Thank Democrat-run cities for misdemeanor charges if thieves got caught
Um,, great putting the idea out there and explaining exactly how to do it for the creatively challenged. 😳🙄🤔😵💫😵💫😵💫
https://youtu.be/SEoCP3HpGFo
Instructional as well for the creatively challenged 👍🏼
Well done.

This is fucking hilarious considering just 5 years ago this would be the last thing to be thinking of stealing
Well done.
“In this time of skyrocketing gas prices, what is the motive for the gasoline thefts?”
That is the most useless question I’ve ever heard asked on a news program.
Thank Biden for energy dependent-policy

@Luan Nguyen …..are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how much this foreign dependence on oil issue was brought up fervently under an ignoring Trump, Bush and Bush?
But yeah…. The prob is the guy whose been president a year and hasn’t done what all the Republicans also refused to address.
What do you think Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and all the other flagrantly obstructionist Republicans would have done a year ago if he’d dropped foreign oil and gas prices shot up 15%?
Ppl like you would be screaming your head off because the disengenuous US Right and Facebook memes were telling you about how bad Biden is for destroying our foreign oil contracts
@KansaiBoxer Why is it there are energy problems whenever a democRAT becomes president? FJB
@What’s Up In Space? <<<<< Leftist clown alert.
They should kneecap these guys, like any other criminals who take advantage of wartime shortages? They make all more expensive for honest folk like us.
In 1979 there was a global fuel shortage (mostly manufactured) while I lived in New Zealand. Same thing happened with thievery then.
79″, Carter’s years. Another DEM in charge of the country. It all changed when a GOP took over in 1981.
BAHAHAHA so thats why they call it land of the free. what a crappy country.
@John Lam Biggest terrorist attack on our nation while a Con was in charge. But after a long time of George W. having no interest in catching bin Laden, even admitting he ‘didn’t think about him much’, Obama got elected, bin Laden was captured and killed.
@Daniel Drader You sound like a very educated man. Bet u believed that Jeff Epstein committed suicide. If u did ur research correctly, Bid Laden bombed another major building in NYC, in1996, but was released by Clinton. 9/11 was his 2nd attack. There wouldn’t be a 2nd attack, if the DEMs didn’t let him go.
@Daniel Drader If u like to do some research, u might do some on Ed Snowden. Ed was a Patriot whom was called up by the NSA to worked on Homeland Security computers. during his work, he found out what Obama was doing with the spying program. Instead of spying on potential Terrorist, Obama have been spying on anyone that didn’t agree with his choices of policies, & putting them on the Terrorist List. B4 he could release the info, Obama branded him a traitor, & the only place that would take him was Putinland. He can never come back to the land he loves.
“High gas prices are leading to a spike in people stealing gas. Adrianne, what could be causing this spike in crime?”🙃🙃🙃
@G hi h Gg the i I you wish
Thank Biden for energy dependent-policy
Thank Democrat-run cities for misdemeanor charges if thieves got caught
@Luan Nguyen boo where you proof evidence fact
@Roger Dodget only blinded mind or brainwashed dummies can not see or don’t want to recognize the fact
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
Oh, Brianna, you’re normally sharp as a tack but this opening question is up there with asking asking a 20 year old model “So what attracted you to the 85 year old millionaire?”
BAHAHAHA so thats why they call it land of the free. what a crappy country.
Where I live, gas stations are manned. It’s just the way it’s been. People put gas for you, to avoid people from tampering and stealing. You don’t have to get out of your vehicle to get gas, haha.
Oregon
sounds like new jersey 😛
Obviously not enough thieves, none of them want to catch the thieves, that means not enough damage was done
a sudden crime wave of thefts in America of a product that is the cheapest in the entire world in America, this is the very definition of entitlement
Wow! They figured out that high gas prices are behind rising thefts? Somebody get these people some kind of award.
The way they keep repeating this makes it seem like they want this to happen.
