Scavengers Again

From Curt on Friday, March 5th:

There was a full size white pickup, CA license 6G02074, cruising slowly through the neighborhood at around 6:30 am Friday March 5th. There are half a dozen plastic garbage cans in the bed. It is recycling day, so they are probably just scavengers. Last seen stopped in the road, westbound, in the 3900 block of Lasuen. There were two occupants, but they would not get out of the cab while I was nearby.

From Lynn on March 6th:

This has been going for several months now. If you ask them to go away, they do. I have seen them appoach homeowners for larger items they see them in the front yard with a "sale", or similar sign. to haul off, if sellable or reuseable. However, they didn't have trash cans in the truckbed when I've seen them, so it could be a different group.

Andrew Commentary:

Please remember, these people may be using scavenging as a cover to get into your garbage cans for identity documents. They may be looking for houses that appear to be empty or unguarded. Even if they're just taking recycling, that decreased county revenue, which will make your rates go up in time.
