Police spotted the pair and pulled them over, with officers finding two catalytic converters and tools on them. Wilfredo Jimenez Aguilar, 25, and another accomplice were accused of entering the underground parking garage through a broken security gate at the Foster City complex Feb. This appears to say the guy has been in jail for five months and then gets three years' probation after pleading "no contest".Ī man accused of stealing catalytic converters from cars in the Marina Point complex in Foster City pleaded no contest to burglary and has been sentenced to three years probation, the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office said.

We will have to change what we consider acceptable punishment, and that hardly requires more police, cameras, or courts. Society's commitment to profound punishment is the only deterent now. Even stupid people, or poorly socialized people, or people from other cultures, can weigh their options. Punishment that makes a potential criminal weigh whether it is worth doing a crime will have an effect. And no matter how much money they throw at it it will never be effective, because getting caught and getting prosecuted is not much of a deterent. It's easy to predict that the Democrats will proudly announce that they have this new great idea to hire more police, buy more cameras and contract survalience, and add more district attorneys, conforming to their social justice ideology. For many systemic reasons Democrat leadership is absolutely incapable of significanlty changing to the degree that is necessary to fix crime, and morality.
TREASURED FRIENDS HOW TO
The problems and solutions, and more strickingly, the obvious failure of the only solutions Democrats know how to do, have stared liberals in the face for a very long time. But fixing the family and adopting church values is pretty much out of the question at this point.Įxpecting the leadership from a Newsom or any politician to the left of Idi Amin is expecting way too much of them.

I agree that it is fundamentally a moral problem. Until we move, and narrow, the Overton window we will never get a handle on this problem. To fix crime we need to change our tolerance for crime by changing our ideas of what is acceptable punishment. They know that if they are caught they will be out on bail very quickly and if they eventually do end up in court they will probably not go to prison, and if they do go to prison they will probably get out pretty quickly. The point is: that what we consider an acceptable punishment is known at some level by the people that choose to do crime. (well, we know that's not gonna happen because I doubt any respectable med school wants to educate a person of that persuasion.) They might be home grown blond men trying to pay their way through med school. And actually my assumption about there legal status is not even the point. They are probably illegally here, and dealing with chop shops run by people that are illegally here. But I suspect those fine hard working guys are back out on the street right now. It's pleasant to hear that a couple thieves were caught early one morning and yes, thank you to the neighbor that called the police and thank you to the police that caught the thieves. I wanted to use a Burlingame shop but Spitelli's had the best price for me.īut that is not a solution.
TREASURED FRIENDS INSTALL
I had Spitelli's in Belmont install a Cat Shield. It would probably take you a couple of hours.
TREASURED FRIENDS ZIP
And here is a photo of the well-secured Cat-10" stainless steel zip ties, 3/16" steel cable and some clamps. Update: I just heard about two more Cat thefts in the Lyon-Hoag neighborhood over the last month or so. Hopefully there will be more arrests to come as people become more aware. On the bright side, BPD actually caught a couple of catalytic converter thieves on January 11th (early morning hours) in the 1400 block of Benito Ave. One might think "it's gone, so what's the point?" but we need to keep track of this sort of thing if it is to get the attention it deserves. I hope anyone who gets hit reports it to BPD. The replacement my friend had to get was $2,800 (mostly covered by insurance) and he decided to add a cable and lock to the new one. My Landcruiser actually has two-a twofer. Prius because the converters in hybrid vehicles tend to be more valuable and trucks because they sit higher off the ground making it easier to access the converter (i.e. Some aspects of this are worth sharing like: Toyota Prius and trucks are the most common targets. Statistics on catalytic converter thefts: After a local friend had his stolen from his truck in January, I asked the B'game police about how common it is in town. There's been quite a bit of talk around town about catalytic converter thefts.
