    I believe the Houston metropolitan area was another place that was on the bandwagon to defund the police and may have.

    I doubt it. Houston has always been a very pro-police town. Not always to its credit. The mayors have sometimes been at cross purposes with the police (e.g. Kathy Whitmire), but the population as a whole hasn't.

    Not anymore..the DA in Harris county is pro criminal and letting violent felons out of jail with get out of jail free cards.. so bad that the sheriffs office whom I spoke with a couple of deputies with said they are doing sick outs because the DAs office is releasing these people before they are even done finishing the paperwork at the processing center downtown... The crime rate is out of control now and houston and in Harris county

    Welcome to Baytown.
    They don't care in Baytown. They will roll upm cut straps to get tarps on the deck, and be gone in two minutes.

    Hey I know this is an old post but coincidentially just had my ramps stolen at the Travelcenters of america acroos the street today. They cut the aluminum brackets because I had locks on the sliding pins.I called the police in Baytown they didnt even come out, had to do it online. Anyways I got a couple of leads. Theres a guy Off of Mcarty and 610 they sell affordable tools and hardware near the truckstops down there. Supposedly there selling all types of stolen equipement from truckstops there. He pays a gang a percentage and they bring it back to him. He is a vietnamese guy and hes behind all this just look at the reviews to the place. Complete name is Discount tools and hardware Houston, Tx. Thanks if this might help or maybe we can do something about this theft which is some low life crap to the hard working man.
     
    lynchy Thanks this.

    That's rough. Maybe you got off lucky though, I looked at his reviews and website and I see he sells secondhand engines too!
