Kudos to Food 4 Less for their excellent cameras. It helps a lot!


Nice to see that they’re trying. When my expensive bike was stolen years ago the SLOPD was like, “tell us something we don’t know”. The bike thieves have bolt cutters for chains and cordless angle grinders to quickly cut through other metals. In the 1970’s SLO required bikes to be registered to deter theft. A one-time fee entered the SN into a database and you got a durable permanent sticker for your bike frame. If you were from out of town that’s fine, but SLO residents needed to register their bikes. Bring it back. It would allow police to check any bike any time.


And tax them. Make them pay for their use of the roads.


He has ear protection and an ID badge lanyard. Likely working on a local noisy project or workplace that requires ID to be worn.


He probably been arrested , like 60 times before . The government doesn’t care . People were on our own .


I’d bet a donut this guy has an arrest record and the cops know him.
