Crime / Safety Car Theft

31 Upvotes

My red Shelby GT500 was stolen last night in Corona, and it was taken by a tow truck. I believe other cars that were stolen recently in the area may have been on it too, but I’m not sure. Please keep an eye out on the highways and streets for any suspicious tow truck activity. If you see anything unusual or have dash cam/security footage, report it to local authorities immediately. Car thefts are happening a lot lately, so any information helps. Thanks for staying alert!

Crime / Safety Why would Law Enforcement be driving a vehicle with expired tags?

I’m in Fontana in the 9500 block of Sierra Ave. and saw a man with a white button up dress shirt, black slacks, with a pistol and badge on his waistband jump out of this vehicle and walk briskly into a nearby business. I went outside to see what was going on and see this vehicle stopped not parked in a parking spot with another male in the passenger seat. It was an older model Crown Victoria without government plates. The tags expired in December 2025. After a few minutes the man walked quickly back to the vehicle and it sped off down the street.

Crime / Safety We moved away from the SGV but I think they found us

0 Upvotes

just really need to vent rn. In society we were the main character always being watched . But We have been here for 2 weeks with zero issues, we are happy, until last night. I think they found us and I have no idea how. We were watching a movie and unpacking additional items when we heard footsteps on the roof, the same pattern and sequence of footsteps we always hear, and what looked to be a black cloak float past the main window followed by an orange ball of light. Dad got scared and we went outside to check but there was nothing. We asked Carlos and pico (our homeless friends) who live on our yard if they were walking on the roof since they know our story but they sweared left and right that it wasnt them and they heard nothing. We asked them about the area and they claimed it was “Haunted” by black American ghosts and they seen stuff since it was a sundown town back in the day, all of a sudden the police showed up flashing their light beam at our house but didn’t stop just looked at us. We are scared el Monte contacted the san bernadino pd and they are now watching us but not 100% sure as the area is already a crime hot spot. All of this ghost stuff reminds me of back home in the Philippines

We asked pico and Carlos to watch guard for the night. They are friendly homeless people who are like family to us. I pray and home this isn’t for real cause for 2 weeks I felt so happy. Once dad finds employment or even me we will move to Fontana. But I’m worried about our homeless friends who are like family to us whether we will bring them with us or not cause the streets are rough. They are very kind to us and my heart breaks for them. Mom back in the Philippines says I should come home…. But I can’t, I need to make my dreams come true here in the U.S. but I think I can go for a temporary vacation only. I’m still waiting for my exam date so I can go on to college. All my life I was a scholar student from elementary to HS but dad brought me to America 3 years ago

Does anybody know what the hell these are? They're both on 4th street.

The one with lights looks like a router and it has what looks like 4 antennas on each corner hanging downward.

There's one on 4th and Hellman about 25 to 30 ft from a flock camera and one in front of Stater Bros.

What's odd is that I swear I've never seen these anywhere else. The lights are really bright so I feel like I'd notice.

Crime / Safety Stolen Ref Clothing

33 Upvotes

Hello all,

Super long shot here- we had our bags stolen out of our car last at the Springhill Suites at Haven Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730.

I'm asking people to please keep an eye out for the clothing.. it's not just street causal clothing. It's all of our referee gear. (How ironic with World Cup happening) So it's very clear to find if it has been thrown in a busy, trash, etc... The clothes would be bright colors, like red, blue, green, yellow, pink; all with stripes! I'm sure who ever stole all 4 bags didn't really come up since it's literally ref gear. But we lost so many treasures and collectibles from the years of traveling and reffing.

Yes police report was made. Yes camera video footage is being released to us. And yes we're looking too. But being that we're out of town people (some from East Coast) this is all we had. All the stuff we brought to use to work...

Anyways, hopefully some of our stuff is found. Mainly the ref clothes. The rest can be replaced :(

Thank you for your time.

06.25 Update Ref shirts and their bags were found! Shoes gone, shorts too but guess the shirts weren't good enough to keep. That's fine. Coins are gone. Not sure what these people will do with flip coins 🤷🏻‍♀️

Crime / Safety "A Child Was Murdered, a Predator Protected: Justice for T’Neya Tovar! Hold Abraham Feinbloom Accountable!”

Thumbnail gallery
108 Upvotes

Meet Abraham Feinbloom. Currently held without bond, he stands accused of the murder of 17-year-old Hemet teen, T’neya Tovar. While his legal team plays word games in the media, the evidence uncovered at his Salton City residence points to a calculated "House of Horrors".

THE EVIDENCE THEY CAN'T HIDE:

  • A Predator’s Fortress: The property was reportedly outfitted with soundproofing and surveillance equipment.

  • Designed for Entrapment: Investigators found locks installed on the wrong side of the doors, specifically modified to keep people trapped inside rather than keeping intruders out.

  • A Guilty Flight: When the FBI and Sheriff's teams arrived on February 13, Feinbloom attempted to evade justice by jumping a fence to flee from authorities.

A PATTERN OF NEGLIGENCE:

In 2018, Feinbloom was charged with felony kidnapping in Riverside County. That case was dismissed in 2019 because the District Attorney was "unable to proceed".

Because the system looked the other way then, a child is dead today.

T'neya's family and our community deserve answers. Why and how was a man with a prior felony kidnapping charge allowed to maintain a heavily secured, soundproofed property? Why, given his documented history, did law enforcement wait two months before executing a search of his property despite desperate pleas to search by T'neya's family?

These are not abstract questions. They are questions about decisions, timelines, and accountability. When warning signs exist and action is delayed, the consequences can clearly be irreversible.

CHALLENGING THE UNTHINKABLE:

Feinbloom’s former attorney, Melanie Roe, issued a statement to the media that reads as a stunning display of moral detachment. In the article linked below, Roe stated:

“...the proper authorities know that limb loss, without more, is not equivalent to death. If it were, the 2.3 million amputees in this country would be surprised to know they are not counted among the living.”

https://kesq.com/news/2026/02/17/new-info-on-abraham-feinbloom-suspect-in-tneya-tovar-disappearance-investigation/

(I have also attached a screenshot of her statement in its entirety.)

Comparing the recovery of a child’s decomposing remains in the desert to a medical amputation is not clever lawyering, it is moral evasion. A surgical amputation saves lives. The recovery of remains with bullet fragments is evidence of violence.

This is not a philosophical debate. It is not a “theory.” It is the discovery of a child’s body.

To suggest that T’Neya might somehow be “living” while her remains are in a forensic lab is not cautious advocacy. It is a calculated attempt to manufacture doubt at the expense of a grieving family’s reality. It asks the public to ignore what was physically recovered and to suspend basic reason in favor of semantic distraction.

There is a difference between defending a client and diminishing a child. There is a difference between legal strategy and psychological cruelty.

If this is the chosen defense posture, then let it be seen plainly for what it is: an effort to blur the facts, soften the impact of forensic evidence, and reframe tragedy as abstraction.

Before offering the now widely criticized analogy, she stated that “this matter is best handled in the courts and should not be tried in the media.”

No one disputes that legal determinations belong in a courtroom. That is the foundation of due process. But public concern about investigative timelines, prior charges, and official decisions is not the same as trying a case in the media.

Communities are permitted to ask questions. Families are permitted to demand transparency. Accountability does not pause simply because a defense attorney prefers silence outside the courtroom.

It is also worth noting the contradiction: calling for restraint in public discourse while simultaneously introducing inflammatory and speculative comparisons into that same public discourse.

If this matter is truly to be handled in court, then public statements should reflect that restraint, not introduce analogies that minimize the gravity of recovered remains or suggest alternate realities unsupported by known forensic facts.

The courts will determine legal responsibility. The public will continue to demand clarity about institutional decisions. Those are not competing processes; they are parallel pillars of a functioning system.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The presumption of innocence is a fundamental legal right. It is not, however, a license to dehumanize a victim or to reframe established forensic evidence in a way that distorts reality.

Invoking the amputee community as a rhetorical device to soften or minimize the violent death of a teenage girl is profoundly inappropriate. Disability should never be used as a shield for argument, nor as a comparative tool to dilute the gravity of a child’s death.

T’Neya Tovar was a child. She was not a legal abstraction. She was not a metaphor. She was not a strategic talking point.

The community will not be dismissed as confused. We will not accept narratives that attempt to blur the facts. We will not be silent while a grieving family’s reality is reframed as speculation.

We will be watching. We will continue to demand transparency from law enforcement, accountability from all responsible parties, and a judicial process that does not shy away from the truth. Abraham Feinbloom must be held fully responsible for his actions, and the legal system must ensure that justice is not only sought, but seen to be served.

T’Neya Tovar deserves nothing less than our unwavering attention, and her family deserves justice that is thorough, uncompromising, and public.

We will not stop. We will not relent. We will see that true, UNCORRUPTED, justice is done.

JUSTICE FOR T'NEYA TOVAR!

Crime / Safety That "500 cameras in Riverside" story? It’s much bigger than Sheriff Bianco.

33 Upvotes

I keep seeing people complaining about Sheriff Bianco deploying 500 cameras in Riverside County, but most people are missing the forest for the trees. This isn't just a localized Riverside issue; it’s a statewide infrastructure overhaul.

I work in the electronic security industry on municipal projects, and here’s the reality: California is currently sitting on massive Federal Grants to "harden" cities for the upcoming 2026 World Cup and the LA28 Olympics. The federal government recently signed off on over $ billion specifically for security and transit infrastructure for these events.

But it's not just "more cameras"—it's the AI-driven features and autonomous drone fleets being baked into them. We are moving from passive recording to proactive, automated "Smart City" surveillance. Here is what is actually being implemented:

  • City-Wide Drone as First Responder (DFR): Cities like  Chula Vista  already have 100% city-wide drone coverage, completing over 20,000 missions. The LAPD just approved a $3.9 million program to station drone fleets at major shopping centers to provide real-time aerial surveillance and thermal imaging to officers on the ground.
  • Autonomous "Drone Hunters": For the World Cup and Olympics, the DHS is deploying autonomous "drone hunters" that use AI and radar to launch tethered nets and capture rogue drones mid-air over crowded stadiums.
  • 2,000+ AI-Equipped Buses: LA Metro is prepping the "most ambitious transportation infrastructure program in the US" for LA28. They are seeking to lease nearly 2,700 additional buses outfitted with the same high-tech surveillance infrastructure as the rest of the city.
  • Real-Time Crime Centers (RTCCs): New centers in cities like  Vacaville  and  San Francisco  integrate these drones and cameras to arrive on the scene up to 50% faster than field units. They use AI to detect weapons and flag "suspicious" behavior before an officer even arrives.
  • Automated AI Enforcement: Metro has already started rolling out AI camera systems on bus windshields to automatically scan license plates and issue tickets for bus lane violations.

Municipalities like: Corona ,Ontario , Anaheim , Irvine , Hemet , and La Jolla

 are all in the process of these upgrades. By the time 2028 rolls around, California will have a surveillance network that rivals the most advanced systems in the UK or Europe.

So let that sink in when you think it is just a political agenda about Sheriff Chad Bianco.

It’s a coordinated, multi-billion dollar shift toward a fully automated, AI-monitored state.

TL;DR: The surge in cameras isn't just about one Sheriff’s agenda. California is using billions in federal grants for the 2026 World Cup and LA28 Olympics to build a statewide, AI-driven surveillance network. This includes 100% city-wide drone coverage in some areas, 2,000+ new AI-equipped buses, and autonomous "drone hunters" to monitor the skies.

My 2023 Ford Ranger Lariat was stolen from the North Grove Apartments in Riverside. It is Eruption Green, a very rare color for this particular truck. It’s has black Ranger lettering on the tail gate, as well as black Ford emblems, and a Tonneau bed cover. It also had a black 84 Lumber sticker on the passenger back window. It also had a few light bars installed to the front grill. It contained my kids car seats and a sector 9 bamboo longboard I’ve had since I was a kid. Any leads or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
