> UP can increase their investment in securing their trains and property. That's exactly what they're proposing/threatening: > As a result of Los Angeles County’s rail theft crisis, customers like UPS and FedEx that utilize our essential rail service during peak holiday season are now seeking to divert rail business away to other areas in the hope of avoiding the organized and opportunistic criminal theft that has impacted their own business and customers. Like our customers, UP is now contemplating serious changes to our operating plans to avoid Los Angeles County. We do not take this effort lightly, particularly during the supply chain crisis, as this drastic change to our operations will create significant impacts and strains throughout the local, state, and national supply chain systems. You'd think it would be common sense to not let repeat offenders get off easy, but it looks like that's exactly what the DA is doing here. Pretty simple case of "show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome" — if you let people rob trains with little to no consequences, they're going to keep doing it.
