the steller's jay that likes visiting my balcony has figured out that, while he's too big to stand on the bird feeder with the little chickadees, he can totally jump up at the feeder and knock some seeds out with his beak and then eat them off the ground

smart bird

i know i've told this story before, but it's a pretty good example of how useless cops can be. one late night my girlfriend had her car stolen in front of a bar. we reported it that night. the next day we waited and waited to hear from them and then went out to look for ourselves. at about 11:30 am we found it in an empty parking lot less than a block away from where it was stolen. we called the police and said we found it, so they sent out an officer to meet us. a half hour later, this motherfucker drove right past us while we were waving and yelling at him. he eventually turned around and came back, glanced at the car, and i guess that was the whole investigation. tax dollars at work.

locally, almost every recovered stolen car that I'm aware of has been because the owner of the car went out looking for it and called the cops when they found it

the only case where that's not true is an incident where they were doing a drug raid and we like 'oh hey, this guy has 20 cars on his lot, maybe we should run the vins'

the cars were not hidden in any way
