Sad that the reporter didn't ask more pointed questions about why the "I am right here next to the container" photo never led to ANY kind of stoppage of the container. Not at the first port, not at the next two canadian ports before it left. Not at any of the ports on the way to the UAE.
WHY? How is it so impossible to identify a container and stop it? There's something about this story that doesn't make sense re: the "we can't do anything" hands up in the air that this poor guy has had to deal with.

- gosub100 3y agoIf they catch you in the port even getting near containers you'll be instantly arrested. But if you report stolen property in one? "not my jurisdiction, sorry"
- ryandrake 3y agoIt sounds almost as if the police exist to protect the property of corporations rather than that of the general public. I know, sounds crazy, right?
- hersko 3y agoDude should have said he left a million dollars worth of hidden heroin in the car before it was stolen. Then maybe the cops would have cared.
- dylan604 3y agoMore pointed than receiving the answer of "we don't have jurisdiction"?
- whycome 3y agoIf the guy arrived and just started spray painting the container right next to the cop, would the cop say "not my jurisdiction"?
- dylan604 3y agothere's a difference between a cop seeing someone vandalize property vs opening and searching a container.
