“I’ve been working at Union Pacific for 16 years and I’ve never heard of anything like this.”

“I take everything from the washer and dryer, tires, perfume, TV, etc.”

In LA, gangs of thieves targeting department stores and luxury stores have been on the rise since the end of last year. Courier trains with loose supervision were also targeted.

“(You didn’t know that the returned product didn’t arrive at its destination?) I bought too many on Amazon and returned it, so I can’t even remember what it was.”

The railroad company called the police for help, but there was no news that the culprit was caught.
