Now that Venezuela emptied their prisons out at our border NY will reward them with cash and jobs.
And tires and air bags.
Exactly
Burger flippers are mostly bothered by this....
"Now that Venezuela emptied their prisons..."
Which is no different than when we empty ours because right-wingers refuse to fund more jail/prison space.
Exactly
“ Please, don’t steal my tools. I need them to work so I can pay your welfare “
😂
Those criminal thieves don't care about welfare, and they are too young to get welfare.
Bet they are illegal immigrants, the democrats NEW Golden "citizens". They told you, "Americans have it to good", ect. We warned you, and you called us every nasty name.
Now live with you decision, elections have consequences.
@@thanhvotruong6882nobody is too young to get welfare
😂😂😂
Mayor takes care the migrants first. He forgets his people voted 🗳️ him in the office.
The people that voted him on office made the worst possible choice they could have made. They won't fix it next election either.
So damn true!
He made it very clear he was in favor of sanctuary status before anyone voted for him so he is doing what he pledged to do. It's the voters that need to re think their priorities. Democrat party first or America first ? It shouldn't be that tough a choice.
Didn't those residents vote for politicians who want to defund the police?
@@MR-xc3sw It shouldn't be a tough choice, but it is for the low information left.
Migrants are having the time of their lives. Incredible.
You'll wanted to be a sanctuary city, enjoy!
Robin hoods and friar tucks obviously: steal from the rich, give to the poor. They’re not really that poor though they get everything free Lmao. What a strange country.
@@whitetrashmillionare4858I do enjoy; check the inside contents of my mattress (wink wink)
@@whitetrashmillionare4858 You shouldn’t be so thrilled that NYC is a sanctuary city. You know what happens when the migrants start popping out babies?
So glad we could support their GTA Lifestyles!
Glad to see the bail reform, defund police, and light on crime policies are doing exactly what every sane person thought they would do.
This block is next to a NYCHA housing project. You can also blame just about every liberal policy like trapping/bribing people to live in 'vote farms' , getting everything for free in return for not competing with the rich or officially owning any wealth and promising to vote democrat. It's a depressing life and you have to steal everything nice so you don't have too big a bank account and get kicked out of the project.
Believe me the lawless administration will pay a big price in November.
Exactly.
Hahahaha, getting EXACTLY what they voted for. 👍
👍@@Rob-yv9og
Venezuelan migrant gangs maybe?
💯
Exactly
Or locals
is all of them specially People from dominican republic they study hondas like toys so they know what they doing
Yes!
If arrested the suspects could face up to 15 minutes in the police station lobby before being released by the mayor with an apology and debit cards.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That could be reduced to 5 minutes for good bahavior!!!
@@chimborazo328i yep , and throw in a cell phone 😅
some may rather opt for 3 hots and a cot. good american tax dollars at work.
Exactly !!!
Welcome to New Venezuela
I hear you. It would be disappointing but it’s not. Since 2019 NYC has been like living in Mississippi in 1900. What I’m saying is this: New York City isn’t what it pretends to be: a melting pot. A place where people come in order to learn about others’ culture.
This is the work of domincans
@@Chickenn839 no its your mother
@@cripblue5265 my mother makes to much money probably yours she needs her crack to smoke.
Biden don’t care.
You're getting exactly what you asked for, I fail to see the problem.
Build back better with liberal DAs 😊
Nobody asked for this shit
@@mountainhigh7071😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As police said: They steal in NYC, spend money in FL and go back to NYC to steal. Asked Why not steal in FL? Answer: You go to jail in FL for stealing.
So nobody steals in Florida? 😂 Must be lovely to live in such a perfect state.
These are migrants work to make cash
There is literally more car theft in Fl than NY😂
@@danielam6521 What is larger - FL or NYC? The difference is how crime is handled. Can you carry a gun in NYC or shoot an intruder?
@@foilcapDoesn't need to be an intruder to shoot someone in FL...just tell the police "feared for my life"...then you're home eating dinner
"Bronx residents forced to deal with what they voted for."
Fixed the headline. 😅
How come they dont just take a bus
@@AMPProf you act like they have a job they need to go to
@potatochobit are you a high school dropout?
Bronx to me (in Europe) it has been a synonymous of dagerous/shitty place for decades! nothing new
You get what you voted for
❤
Democrats 😂
Exactly
How do you know who they voted for?
@@Ramp26-art25exactly right these clowns in the comments section wake up just to look for stories like this. When in actuality some if not most migrants come from dictatorship governments anyway.
Time for a neighborhood watch. Guards should be armed and ready to defend the property of those that live in these neighborhoods being targeted!! This is getting way out of hand.
The government will imprison anyone who dares to harm their new voters
@@libertarianpunk8558lol
Good luck getting them armed in New York but yeah they should
I've seen three vehicles on bricks,tires, and rims gone.
Going back to the 1970s...crazy!!!!
When I saw the cars on the bricks I remembered East NY in the 80's. People from Queens would park there to take the train into the city for work and come back to no wheels
Where they get the time to do all that??
The Country of Venezuela says THANK YOU FOOLS
idk man my Bus never robed soo I'm good
How did u get the emojis
@@lv1543 click poke the smile face under the text input you'll find it
🤑😝😜🤔🤫🤭🤗🤩🤔🤔🤔🤔😚😚😚😚
omg Lolzs
The results of defunding the police and no cash bail.
And JOE BIDEN"S open borders!
Poe leece can’t be every where, even when they are heavily funded
@@yummm8775which the Republicans refuse to fix because they want to please Donnie
@@scherzvaExcept we didn't have open border with 'Donnie'
Wow. I cant figure out who might be doing all this? Big shocker.....
YES ! Keep them borders open ! CRIME!
idk my Bus was not hit so Idk man why they freaking.. Just buy more car
I I take the bus
Calls for help go unanswered.= that's because you defunded the police. Simple
I wouldn't stay in an inner city even if the rent was free and you paid me to. Surrounded by criminals.
Wow, who would thought that being soft on crime was a good idea?
you mean like Paxton the attorney general in texas who was found not guilty even before his trial started?
Dems. That's who.
Thanks Alvin I can't thank you enough.
Alvin in Manhattan. This is the Bronx.DA here is Darcel D. Clark
@theo21021 dont matter. Braggs is the one who made this stupid law in Albany with these other lawmakers. Clarke didn't make any laws
@antmck99 The city council enact local laws and legislation. Alvin is a district attorney, same as with Clark. All 5 boroughs have 1. Alvin follows laws, same as with Clark. If you want to change laws, the city council are the ones you need to vote out.
NINE HOURS! Ironically, in Riverdale, you even think about calling police, and before you conceive the thought, an NYPD battleship’s at your door!!
Cause Riverdale is Republican
Your property taxes reflect this
@@Red_Dragon_46
Thank you.
Yeah, if no one is hurt or killed, it can take a while for police to show up.
@@DocMicrowave
Police in the hood shows hours later, unless is a DV situation when a child calls them. “Daddy hit mommy?!” They’re at your door before the kid hangs up.
where is aoc at? why no comment for her?
She will say “ They just want some bread”
Why look to politicians for answers? They're not my God and it's law enforcement that suppose to prevent this bullshit.
Democrats defunded your police, no bail for crimes like this, sanctuary city. Come on......
Right the on target you said it perfect
It has to be a white cop involved then she'll say something.
So glad I left New York 15 months ago. Never going back.
Left in 1991 and never looked back.
So sad for me to see what is happening in my hometown, The Bronx 😢
Imagine working hard to make $1200 monthly car payments and waking up for work to see your wheels and airbags missing with a smashed in window
airbags are $250 a pop on ebay
…Whose car note is $1200/month? That’s insanely high.
@@fewcusiThose Acura MDX A-specs aren’t cheap. One woman on Dave Ramsey bought one new for MSRP $72k and had a $1256/ monthly payment 🫨 Her heart would be BROKEN if she came out and saw her car sitting on bricks
I drove to NYC from florida about 3 years ago, and the same thing happened to me. Doesn't make any sense, even reporting because police won't catch them. My brother live there and it happened to him just a few weeks before i visit and police basically told him to part in a safer place but no where is safe.
You all voted for it:
The DA, the legislators, the mayor, the governor and the president.
George Soros DAs are build back better American Patriots 😊
You as well. We're all in it together.
I voted for the people who upholds the law!
@@jonp341not me! But dummy's like you that shouldn't be voting.
Lesson learned don't drive a Honda or Acura. There is a 2001 CRV now that has new set of shiny rims on it.
Look - I lived in this neighborhood near Bx Pk East btw 1982-1997, and i can tell you this: cars ALWAYS got broken into, on DAILY basis, especially around `87. Radios got jacked, glove boxes rifled through…people would put up signs in their car saying “Nothing of Value in Car”. And they’d still break in. The crackheads were everywhere.
Now, it seems, those same crackheads kids and grandkids are carrying on the family tradition. This is why i left the Bx years ago. But there were many kind and good people living there then, as there is now.
I wonder who these geniuses voted for!
Acuras are expensive Hondas, Hondas are the most stolen vehicles in 🇺🇸 just a tip for those who aren't aware
Kias passed them. Hondas arent in trend again.
@@BajatheChickenMan Kia was a trend, Honda remains King when it comes to most stolen cars in 🇺🇸
@@BajatheChickenMan K5 can't compete with the Accord. Same with Forte versus a Civic, Sportage vs CR-V, Seltos vs HR-V, and Telluride vs Pilot. Honda products are better. Tried and trued.
How often are patrols made along Allerton & Bronx Park East? Are there any nearby auto repair shops falling on hard times?
What do you mean. I encourage you to be much more clear. Do you not value your ideas?
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi My IDEALS are for patrols to be made on a regular basis and for civil servants to investigate.
its the Biden economy dude...every repair shop is on hard times. $$$$ gone down the crapper
Just put a security camera up and see who’s doing it
The city hates cars. So, addressing the issue will be low on their priorities list...
Everyone hates cars
Indeed. NYC hates cars.
Between shrinking boulevards, reduced parking, new tolls, new restrictions, Red Light/Bus Lane/Speed cameras....
They want everyone to stop driving and get on buses and trains.
I know that the asylum seekers have to do with this
Life in the Bronx since the 1960s, so whats new ?
Illegals.
That's right when the immigrant act bill was passed.😂
@@sandygreen8257 Thanks that was 1965, Senator Ted Kennedy and Bnai Brith. The affluent Grand Concourse nobles evacuatated thmselves out. to Coop City while the old South Bronx Precincts burned down and became Fort Apache.
Two years ago, my friend's catalytic convertor was stolen on same strip by Bronx Park East / Waring Av.
My catalytic convertor was stolen elsewhere in the Bronx after XMas 2023. From first phone call until arrival It was some 15 hours until police arrived.
Residents of NYC can fix this at the ballot box.
My catalytic converter was stolen over the weekend!
did you fix it?
@@bkhustler yes
@@bkhustler yes
@@bkhustler yes
This is why I drive my 04 lexus and don't plan on getting a new car I dont need. I feel so bad for these NY residents with no action taken by law enforcement. Just a way of showing how America can't support its own citizens and protect them.
probably their own neighbors and family breaking into cars
Not just New York, this happens in almost all American major cities, people are afraid of getting out of their homes do to high crime rates
@@davidcarlin3850 people are more likely to steal older economy cars actually. Plus, my car is the exact same as a toyota camry. Same engine, options, and everything. I doubt it will get stolen.
I live around this area and they broke into my car twice. $800 for a window and $700 for the two side view mirrors. I come out from my building and sometimes I see four to five new cars just sitting on creates. These guys have no fear they are doing this on busy Avenues. It used to be at least once every two months they would hit. Now it's almost once a week. It sucks when rent out here is about $2400 for a one-bedroom. If a cop car did two patrols at night I'm sure they would catch someone but you don't see that anymore. You would think that after all the complaints they would step it up a notch. It's just getting worse!
RIGHT HERE I BELIEVE THAT ALL LIVES MATTER 110% ALL THE WAYYY.
Jose, Jesus, Carlos are hard working too. They can only spend 10 minutes per car
This is how they fix them cars for the sideshows. You really think people stealing cars can pay for $1200 rear tires?
0:46 Looks like the Griswalds' station wagon missing its hubcaps 😂😂
Air Bags 😂🤣 wtf is going on!!
Then you go to a local shop to have the Airbag replaced, and end up buying your stolen Airbag.
Not that you'd know it of course.
They weren't forced they voted for this.
Check the migrant shelters. We've been warning about this
Check for what? Car tires? You act like they allow people to bring in car tires.
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi You'd be surprised what's going on at these shelters. Police commissioner noted there is human trafficking, drug dealing, robberies and more operating out of migrant shelters and NYCHA housing. Not all of these people are innocent women and children. I also have the luxury of living nearby more than 10 shelters.
@@pulaski42 I’d be surprised? I know plenty of people that have lived in shelters in New York City. I don’t get you.
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi These are not regular shelters that normal homeless new Yorkers would get and be expected to follow rules. These are hotels that are exclusively for migrants with minimal oversight.
Just like in the 1970s and 1980s. Brings back so many memories of seeing cars stripped of everything everywhere in NYC, the City with No Pity.
Migrants alert 🚨
It's happening around gunhill too
hoom
Is this a neighborhood where neighbors will talk to the police? Where neighbors will answer the police and say wha has been witnessed?
New York what did you get yourself into? They aren't seen nothing yet. I am asking what Summer will be like?
This reminds me of New York in the 80's when car stereos and tires where getting stolen left and right. They would strip the cars in the ghetto and leave them on blocks. Pre Guiliani New York was messed up it really was Gotham City.
thats ehy bus drivers are heros
yeah, but now you can blame migrants because so many of them need your car parts
before people could only blame themselves
Migration is up
Now our auto insurance will go up along with everything else 😢
They stealing your job next, better stop calling in!
When I lived on L.I in the late 80's, I was a truck driver, I traveled west on the L.I.E, to the Van Wyke north, past the Throgs Neck plaza and onto the Cross Bronx, to either continue onto the Major Deegan to go upstate, or straight to the GW into Jersey and just as you come into the CB, there was a wide open area where the skeletal remains of stolen cars were left, engines, doors and hoods and sometimes, just nothing but chassis's left!☝🏿🙄
Do you think it was migrants or hood thugs or there connected together
Did you get to pry out any little part for your car? At least an air freshener that still smelled good?
@@jonp341 Toodles.
Air Bags are crazy dangerous. I wonder why they are targeting those? Let's hope it isn't for more malicious intents.
Parts! They are expensive components.
And Acura parts are suddenly in demand, they go out and get them.
What would be really messed up is you take your car to a local shop to have the airbag replaced, and they sell you back your stolen airbag assembly.
@@DocMicrowavehappened to a coworker in Hunts Point. The Shops would pay crackheads to steal parts. A shop sold him back his side mirror
@@bhlakbatosai I believe it. That's where the stolen parts end up.
No just money
Parts are worth more that the whole car. My friend's air bag and side mirrors were stolen in the Bx. It cost 2500 to replace the airbag, a 2018 Honda. Its horrible in the Bronx now
So theres no camers to show people loading air bags and rims tires in another vehicle no license plates on the getaway cars ?
This is crazy true! I know this area and it does get dark outside. Can’t believe no one has caught those thief’s on tape doing this!!
Messed up 😡
Zero bail!👍👏👍👍👏👍🫶🇺🇸💕🫶💕🫶💕
I really feel bad for these people. It's at the point where you'd want to give up, but you can't.
they are welcome to start a neighborhood watch. I am sure half of them know who is stealing.
That happened to me 12 yrs ago in the Bronx- 2011 Acura TSX
The key is to get base model cars and SUV’s. Nobody chasing 17” and 18” rims
Illegals are. Any money is a come up for them
Dude just said they targeted Acura.
@@BlimpCityFeeder exactly, their are base model Acura’s. But if you opt for an A-spec or an S-type, then you getting robbed
They targeted mainly Acura's. But if they see something of value on or in another vehicle, they hit that also.
@@Red_Dragon_46 *there
Looks like the same crowd that was yelling defund the police a few years ago. Gotta be careful what you ask for.
DUMB COMMENT
I lived near Pelham Parkway on Morgan Av in the 60's. It was a nice place then. Went to Holy Rosary school. Many great memories.
Y’all know what you need to do. Go dark, covert and handle that ish. Don’t talk, don’t tell, don’t brag. Give no voices to be heard.
I'm so glad I don't live in ny but im praying for the natives that are watching their homes, school, money amd safety be ripped away because they wanted to do the right thing and help others. This is sick.
Notice you don’t see any stolen moped wheels
... not yet. Wait until Mopeds are popular.
@@K03sportit’s the moped owners with tats on their hands doing the crimes
Property crime is called the HIDDEN city tax. Touching most everyone at some point.
New York sure seems to have their priorities mixed up
Get a Ford escort.
🤣🤣🤣
even if you directly have not gotten robbed the insurance will increase rates and this effects everyone who lives there.
Goodness, 70's Bronx all over again
I feel them, someone broke is to my car to steal a soda out my car and my battery jumper. This is ridiculous.
"As you know, the Statue of Liberty is inscribed. It says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be free," Hochul said at the time. "That statement encapsulates our values. We want people to come here, despite where they came from or despite the circumstances that drove them into this country, into this state. We say you are welcome here. You’re welcome with open arms, and we’ll work to keep you safe."
Ship the illegals back.
Liberals voted for this. Enjoy the show!
Well, in Spain we do say "this is the Bronx" when we refer to a bad neigorghood.
Over night? Used to be they’d do that to cars in da Bronx while the owner was getting a morning coffee.
Let me take a guess who are breaking into cars after all these years could it be illegal migrants
They voted for this
In a city theres always a witness or potential witness. If people wanted to protect their neighborhood they could.
They are living the American dream
You need a camera in your car and stand in your house window as vigilant. I don't think they will ever come back 😶🌫️
Yea I dont think so. I wanna have a life please.
they always have a hoodie and a mask so even with cameras is not going to do any diferent
Plus, your not allowed to use weapons on them or hurt them as there is the possibility you could get arrested or sued.
And your gambling with your own life as they may attack you if you intervene.
Not to mention even if caught and arrested, the may be let out same day with just a ticket for a court date.
It is almost a no win situation in NYC.
Welcome to the new third world country. Thanks to this caring patriotic administration.👍
That's nothing new in this area. It's been going on for years. Under the freedom of information act, ask for those reports within the past 5 yrs.
Why are they just covering this? This has been an ongoing issue happening on a NIGHTLY basis on the resevoir by Lehman college for YEARS. My car was broken into soo many times.
GOOD! hhhhaaahhheee what you going to do about it! NOTHING! Now I'm LMBO @ you! ha ha he he tet ha !
Mayor Adam: I'm too busy for parties!
AG Bragg: Yo! They my homies. They good. Leave them alone! Nobody is going to jail under my watch!
Gov. Hochul: It's not my problem. It's the mayors.
How do you not hear guys jacking your car up and stealing tires?
All those parts will be on eBay and Facebook market place in no time. This is what happens when you leave the boarder open.
lady fingernails was funny.... its someone elses responsibility to protect her property.
too funny
The steering lock also lock the airbag. That's why I still using it.
These folks voted for the wrong side!!
Also, Bragg is a love for NY criminals!! 😂😂
Good
They should install a tracking device on the wheels ,
