Be careful out there trying to sell high value stuff like this on these market places.

The didn't feel like reading the short article summary:

>Police say they are seeing an increase of thefts of ATVs, dirt bikes and motorcycles from homes across Southeastern Pennsylvania, specifically targeting vehicles listed for sale on social media sites like Facebook Marketplace.

>there are crews coming out of New Jersey, Delaware, New York State and Philadelphia to steal the vehicles.

>They say thieves often ask sellers for videos of the vehicles running.

>"Some of these videos will have metadata that can show location information, some of the Facebook profiles that the victims are using aren’t locked down so they list where they are living, or in the background of the video they will actually get identifying information," says Detective Louis Bell.

>Detective Bell says the thieves often use vans or U-hauls with stolen or fake license plates. They believe the groups are re-selling some vehicles overseas, but mostly domestically, or they just use them for fun.

>"Many of these vehicles are ending up in Philly in these marauding packs of dirt bikes and ATVs that are just running down rampant throughout," he says. "These are criminals, who know how far they go. We know for a fact some of these crews are armed."

The marauding packs are coming for you!!!!

do the police do sting operations anymore??

no, no, these atv and dirtbike riding groups are incredibly friendly and they are just kids. who cares if they do incredibly dangerous things that could harm themselves or others? we were all kids once!

I'd be surprised. Between entrapment issues and how easily they can make quota by just targeting minority drivers, why bother?

I think we can all agree they suck, it’s just that nothings done about it

Only if that’s the name of an iPhone game they can play while sitting in an idling SUV collecting overtime.

Its a reference to a common refrain you'll see pop up here from time to time to excuse and deflect from the violent and criminal nature of dirt bike gangs.

That they're just kids having fun, that they're harmless, and it's "a culture".

Saw the kid's post on fb after it got stolen, he had canceled the insurance on the bike too so he's totally SOL. Sucks

The reverse in app purchase

As annoying and sometimes dangerous as they are, it is funny to call them marauders. Modern day Mongolian hordes washing down Broad Street. Nothing is left after they pass just desolation
