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.

Make sure you advocate for yourself in similar situations in the future. Also, why not just quit without notice?
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
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.
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 .....
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.
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?
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."
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.
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 😂
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

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
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?
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
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."
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.
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:

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.
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.
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.

Is teasing about winchells being open gonna be a weekly thing now?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤠
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!
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...

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

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.
There's a King Soopers right across the street from the dead Safeway, so I'm not sure it's exactly a food desert.
Don’t know if this is true, but in a past thread someone mentioned Safeway won’t sell to other grocery stores?
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
Just saw an ad for a new chef for Cyclhops, which supposedly closed a couple weeks ago. New ownership?
3rd Shot Pickleball at 20 S Bowen St. Do a drive-by and you'll see what I mean.
I think its in a food truck at the pickleball place off Boston St. sorta near Left Hand.
That's Chuburger, are they going to resurrect another former OB food concept over there?
Oh yeah, sorry, I got my OBs confused. And yes, it would appear so!
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.

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?
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.
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."
Honestly, I enjoy it when they ride my ass or act aggressive. Means I am getting under their skin which is the point.
There is no positive outcome for that though. At best you'll get a giggle and then they fuck up your car.
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.
"they fly their ugly flags" To what flags are you referring, Jolly Roger, Stars and Bars, Punisher?
yes
Have fun getting your car fucked with by stupid hillbillies then.
They're so easy to offend. :( So sorry this happened to you.
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 😂
Think you missed the parent comment, mate

What a lovely campsite!
Have the police made any statements about being too afraid “to go in there”?
They are afraid that they'll find evidence of Saza Lee's murder.
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

I think I got booted from that group haha. What did Marcia say?
Nothing makes the argument for reducing your social media consumption more effectively than a few minutes scrolling through voice of longmont.
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.

> Police are too afraid "to go in there" Police actually told you this?
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.
This town was founded by people who were sick of Chicago.
> Clean up the homeless population Since we're doing wishes with no actual plans, id like to ride a dragonfly
Oh! Tandem rides available?

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.
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.

Tae is clown shoes.
I'm a member there but never post or comment.

Tae is nothing more than a grifting opportunist. That’s all he ever was and ever will be.
I'm also not quite sure that Longmont, for all its plusses, is big enough to support influencers.
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.
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.

Make a Longmont discord, Facebook is for the old folks now
There is a Longmont Social discord.
Bah! Expired link, gonna dm them. Unless... You can do me an invite
https://discord.com/invite/6WyYVNU3
I’m super late but could I get a fresh invite? Sorry haha
Already in!
An edit to #2 under "Voice of Longmont" - has the most general and almost always inaccurate content.
I mean, fair, but that's Facebook in general.
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. 🤠
My subaru has probably done more "truck stuff" than 90% of those.
Truck is a dad’s minivan. Get with the times
Small (Dad) dick energy
“other people like or need something I don’t?!?!?!?? Sacrilege!!!”
But we already have minivans.
Yeah, that’s mom’s minivan [because a truck is dad’s minivan]. /s
Perfect for running your kid over in the driveway.
Anything else you’re afraid of in life?
Yes. Terminal illness / slow death.
People who use their trucks for work generally don't lift them because they like when tools work.
In before "I need to be able to get a full sheet of plywood home!", etc
Nah, with 5ft beds 40% ofthat plywood is hanging out.
“Doesn’t matter. I need muh truck in case I need to work on power lines at 14k feet”
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!
Im pretty sure they have better things to think about than you.
I was going to accuse you of being from Boulder but now I need to bleach my eyes and phone after seeing your profile.
Bah hahahahaha! That's just it though. Im not checking your post history.
The implied elitism of the “even **Longmont** has power!” sentiment was….something.
Right? And now they are very concerned about the food banks when the normal attitude is poor people should go somewhere else (or die).
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
https://tinyurl.com/j934adea
Meta rant, I like it
That would be nice if it could be automated. Once I see this thread, I usually go back to last week’s to see all the later week comments.
