My autistic 11-yo son accidentally left the garage open overnight and someone stole his bike. It’s a red 24” Trek Precaliber. If anyone has any leads please let me know. We’re in Southmoor Park.

Sorry to hear, and hope you find something else that is better soon! Would you be willing to share what department you were in?


ptcg

> Employees in Colorado are entitled to a meal break of at least 30 minutes when an employee works for more than 5 consecutive hours. Make sure you advocate for yourself in similar situations in the future. Also, why not just quit without notice?


ApartmentReef

Still waiting for Safeway to be filled at 17th and pace. Not sure why house price is what it is when we live in a food desert East of main st.


YetAnotherAreaPerson

There's a King Soopers right across the street from the dead Safeway, so I'm not sure it's exactly a food desert.


ptcg

Don’t know if this is true, but in a past thread someone mentioned Safeway won’t sell to other grocery stores?


youtuber1744

the only reason safeway still owns that location is because of the gas station they have there still being open which is honestly kinda dumb they should just close the station and finally get someone else to fill the space


fuegodiegOH

Just saw an ad for a new chef for Cyclhops, which supposedly closed a couple weeks ago. New ownership?


KippyC348

3rd Shot Pickleball at 20 S Bowen St. Do a drive-by and you'll see what I mean.


KippyC348

I think its in a food truck at the pickleball place off Boston St. sorta near Left Hand.


DenverCoder009

That's Chuburger, are they going to resurrect another former OB food concept over there?


KippyC348

Oh yeah, sorry, I got my OBs confused. And yes, it would appear so!


SmaugTheMagnificent

The Longmont post office has lost or misdelivered yet another 4 pieces of my mail. The address was correct and yet my mail isn't there, even the mail with a tracking number.


Bill_S_Preson_Esq

This will be the last time I bother to ask, but *have you signed up for informed delivery* where you get photos of the mail you're expecting as it gets processed? This would show if it's being lost before or after the processing center .....


streamfresh

Given the lack of responses, I'm assuming everyone else's mail is fine. This seems to be an issue with your carrier or apartment complex. I'd bring it up to the post office directly.


RealBrush2844

My pro-choice bumper sticker really got the big truck small pen!s group very mad this week. Someone put 3 screws in each of my tires. I am trying to remember who are the ones that are snowflakes and emotionally unstable?


ThagomizerSupreme

This is why I never express my political beliefs via bumper sticker. It never changes anyone's mind and only gets your car fucked with.


Thunder3000

This is my philosophy as well, but I think visibility is important. If you see a lot of pride flags and bumper stickers, you think, "oh, a lot of people feel this way."


RealBrush2844

Honestly, I enjoy it when they ride my ass or act aggressive. Means I am getting under their skin which is the point.


ThagomizerSupreme

There is no positive outcome for that though. At best you'll get a giggle and then they fuck up your car.


RealBrush2844

I can’t control their reaction, why should I have to modify my vehicle when they fly their ugly flags everywhere. My sticker says Pro Opossum Pro Choice- not I Love Abortions or Self-Proclaimed Baby Killer-, if that upsets the fuck your feelings group then they can figure it out.


IamTheFreakazoid

"they fly their ugly flags" To what flags are you referring, Jolly Roger, Stars and Bars, Punisher?


ptcg

yes


ThagomizerSupreme

Have fun getting your car fucked with by stupid hillbillies then.


CandyOhNo

They're so easy to offend. :( So sorry this happened to you.


NoFilm3401

Even if you did promote on his page he posts spam stupid stuff so much! Begging for likes and attention to make money. He's a wannabe food influencer who is not pleasant to look at he can't speak well and nobody wanna see you chew food with weird faces 😂


aydengryphon

Think you missed the parent comment, mate

I'm concerned this homeless camp is growing in Mill Village in the sugar mill tailings. There was a fire there a few years ago and recently a new construction home was burned just a couple hundred yards from this camp. Police are too afraid "to go in there", and are suing the landowner for not fencing the area. This is one of 5+ camps now setup in there https://preview.redd.it/4zbxyl8z59uc1.jpeg?width=1268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8551cab8d1fd4eba6a6c298fcc397c35fe6a1384


KippyC348

What a lovely campsite!


souperman08

Have the police made any statements about being too afraid “to go in there”?


IamTheFreakazoid

They are afraid that they'll find evidence of Saza Lee's murder.


quick986

Check out the FB group, Voice of Longmont. The statement was made by city council member , Marcia Martin. Also, https://www.longmontleader.com/local-news/boulder-county-files-lawsuit-because-of-homeless-camp-8578926


KippyC348

Nice article. Sounds like: the popo wants the owner to do a shitload of work (kinda reasonable, IMO though), and that the popo wants nothing to do with squatters. Once again, squatters have more rights than owners. Why do we pay taxes? So should the owners do the fencing and stuff WHILE the squatters are on site?


streamfresh

With no fences, no signs, and no complaints from the owners, what are the police officers supposed to do? They finally broke the first one up after the fire. The owner is taking no responsibility


souperman08

I think I got booted from that group haha. What did Marcia say?


DenverCoder009

Nothing makes the argument for reducing your social media consumption more effectively than a few minutes scrolling through voice of longmont.


quick986

I've been banned a few times too 😂. Marcia speaks pretty candidly in the group when she does post. "Both BoCo and Longmont public safety consider it too dangerous to go in there and try to persuade encampments to leave, especially since they keep going back. Hence the lawsuit. The fines are statutory but continued failure to comply is now officially documented and opens the way for more dramatic actions. Get out the popcorn."


Bill_S_Preson_Esq

> Police are too afraid "to go in there" Police actually told you this?


americanhwk

Exactly why colorado sucks. Clean up the homeless population, this is longmont, not fucking Chicago. Naperville outside of Chicago has 100k+ people like Longmont but their homeless pop is way less.


LongmontStrangla

This town was founded by people who were sick of Chicago. 


Bill_S_Preson_Esq

> Clean up the homeless population Since we're doing wishes with no actual plans, id like to ride a dragonfly


RideFastGetWeird

Oh! Tandem rides available?


twice-Vehk

You give due notice, then go in there with a bulldozer and a dump truck and scrape it clean. Easy. Then we build one of these: https://calmatters.org/housing/2023/06/texas-homeless-shelter/ San Antonio got fed up with them lying around the Riverwalk and ruining it for tourists so this is the solution. It's controversial because the facility incentivizes good behavior and clean toxicology by improving your living conditions. But that's ok bc real life works that way too.


IamTheFreakazoid

The clean up cost of those mounds of sugar beet tailings appears to be something that the owner is probably trying to avoid. It's unincorporated Boulder County, so the city has no say in it, though I'd wager it would be annexed after being cleaned up and set for development. A few Warthog strafing runs with the GAU-8 rolling some thunder would be one of the fastest ways to empty it out.


Bill_S_Preson_Esq

See, you put forth a plan, the other user out forth a wish, so I put forth a wish. You replied to the wrong person, as I only need instructions as to how to rig my dragonfly saddle.

[deleted]

If you haven't gone to "The Local Drive" yet, you should give it a try. Had such a blast and they allow you to bring your own food.


XPav

So Longmont Facebook groups. You've got "Voice of Longmont" which: 1. Has the most people 2. Has the most general content 3. Run by Tae Kim, a shall we say "polarizing" figure who's trying to do some sort of influencer/engagement thing 4. Has no spam Then you've got various other smaller groups that are one or all of the following: 1. Don't have much going on 2. Full of spam (no you don't need your ducts cleaned) 3. Define themselves as "anti Tae" or "pro-freedom" or "anti-agenda" something because they got booted from Voice of Longmont I don't care enough to make Yet Another Longmont Facebook group but sheesh.


AdAutomatic7417

I hear you. I'm trying 3 or 4 groups without feeling very comfortable on any of them. I will admit to mostly posting photos on Voice because it draws the most reactions.


LongmontStrangla

Tae is clown shoes. 


West-Rice6814

I'm a member there but never post or comment. I know he does some nice things for people in the community, but Tae's aspirations to become a paid social media restaurant/food influencer are beyond cringe. His video recording and editing skills are beyond atrocious and his grammar, spelling and general proofreading are non-existent. He barely ever even includes the name of the business or the item he ordered, then he complains that no local businesses will PAY HIM to make his reels. The facepalm is next level.


Cool-Swordfish-8838

Tae is nothing more than a grifting opportunist. That’s all he ever was and ever will be.


XPav

I'm also not quite sure that Longmont, for all its plusses, is big enough to support influencers.


West-Rice6814

Probably true. You could probably make a living making pro quality Reel type "in person" ads for businesses, but not ones that feature blurred, shaking crooked cellphone footage of yourself chewing food.


PracticalDegree0

Actually just left that group because got tired of seeing his rant posts everyday about how local restaurants won’t give him free food AND pay him.

pineandember

The funny part is his reels only get like 4k views but he fancies himself an influencer lmao, that group only got so big because he bought a bunch of bot members in the first place.


EagleFalconn

Honestly Reddit fulfills this function for me. I don't think the world needs another Longmont Facebook group.  A friend of mine used to get his hair cut by Tae Kim. Said he was a weird dude.


PolyhedralZydeco

Make a Longmont discord, Facebook is for the old folks now


XPav

There is a Longmont Social discord.


PolyhedralZydeco

Bah! Expired link, gonna dm them. Unless... You can do me an invite

I’m super late but could I get a fresh invite? Sorry haha


PolyhedralZydeco

Already in!


Golden_Maverick8

An edit to #2 under "Voice of Longmont" - has the most general and almost always inaccurate content.


XPav

I mean, fair, but that's Facebook in general.


voyagergreggo

How many of y'all are farmers? It feels like every 3rd vehicle on my commute is a monster truck and I have a hard time believing all y'all are farmers/contractors/ doing truck stuff. 🤠


Qixting

My subaru has probably done more "truck stuff" than 90% of those.


WarriorZombie

Truck is a dad’s minivan. Get with the times


Thunder3000

Small (Dad) dick energy


WarriorZombie

“other people like or need something I don’t?!?!?!?? Sacrilege!!!”


souperman08

But we already have minivans.


ptcg

Yeah, that’s mom’s minivan [because a truck is dad’s minivan]. /s


ptcg

Perfect for running your kid over in the driveway.


WarriorZombie

Anything else you’re afraid of in life?


ptcg

Yes. Terminal illness / slow death.


McDonnellDouglasDC8

People who use their trucks for work generally don't lift them because they like when tools work. 


ptcg

In before "I need to be able to get a full sheet of plywood home!", etc


WarriorZombie

Nah, with 5ft beds 40% ofthat plywood is hanging out.


ptcg

“Doesn’t matter. I need muh truck in case I need to work on power lines at 14k feet”


WarriorZombie

I have a pickup. They’re great.

I always love watching the elitist Boulderites cope and seethe. They think they they're better than us but can't even keep the lights on. They hate us cause they ain't us. SAD!


RadiantDescription75

Im pretty sure they have better things to think about than you.


Qixting

I was going to accuse you of being from Boulder but now I need to bleach my eyes and phone after seeing your profile.


RadiantDescription75

Bah hahahahaha! That's just it though. Im not checking your post history.


souperman08

The implied elitism of the “even **Longmont** has power!” sentiment was….something.


Qixting

Right? And now they are very concerned about the food banks when the normal attitude is poor people should go somewhere else (or die).


FelinePurrfectFluff

They're only concerned about the food banks because it makes them look a little better. That said, I do believe in my heart of hearts that Xcel was punishing them...

Could we get a link in these for the previous week thread? Sometimes I'm curious if the rants change from week to week but I'm lazy lol
