You’re like the kid that talks about his dads money as if he worked for it.

Didn’t you work at GI Joes before you met this chick on Christian mingle?

Actually, I developed and opened Lifetime Windows & Doors' Bend branch. I'm pleased to say it's still thriving today.

Is that sweetening up the label of in-home window salesman?

I normally wouldn’t bag on someone for something like this. Just find it nauseating seeing you act like you’re on some high horse morally and continually gloating about your “investments” when you’ve said yourself you married into money.

My bet is she married into money originally and now the ex and her companion reaping some of his hard work.

Nevertheless, stay humble.

High horse? Hardly. Sure, my wife has had a good career. When I moved to Nashville, I had money. I certainly didn't move here to be taken care of. I proceeded to get my real estate license and have been very successful. Nothing has been handed to me. My parents were of modest income as my father was an associate pastor of a small church in N. Portland, and my mother didn't work.

I've related about our cottage in Florida as I'm proud of the area that gets "bagged" on quite often in here. I related about our townhome project here because I'm proud of the city and have no issues being downtown, despite the tragic shooting that recently took place.
 
Thieves Are Hot-Wiring Free2move’s Portland Car-Sharing Fleet
Eleven of the branded Jeeps have been stolen, the company told police.

Thieves have figured out how to hot-wire the Portland fleet of the multinational car-sharing company Free2Move, police say.

Nearly one dozen Free2move cars have been reported missing recently, according to a court document, joining the nearly 1,000 cars that are stolen across Portland each month.

Free2move arrived in Portland in 2021 with a fleet of around 200 Jeep SUVs. The cars are rented by the minute using an app, which customers can use to walk up, hop in and drive away.

But at least one Portland thief has figured out a way to circumvent the system. The new theft technique was laid out by Multnomah County prosecutors in a probable cause affidavit filed this week.



On April 2, the Portland Police Bureau followed up on a stolen vehicle report filed by a leasing company in March, according to the affidavit. The stolen white 2022 Jeep Renegade was worth $24,000 and had “Free2move” logos on its exterior, the document says.

The investigating officer reached out to Joseph Zayas, a regional manager for Free2move, who said that 11 vehicles had recently been stolen.

“Zayas stated over the past few months the company have been having issues with the vehicles being stolen due to a workaround through the app that allows the vehicles to be started without authorization,” the affidavit says. (A Free2move spokesperson could not immediately comment on how the vehicles were stolen or whether they had been recovered.)


The affidavit says the officer noted the last known location of the 11 stolen vehicles and issued a “dragnet flyer.”

The next day, Officer Sabrina Dobbs was on patrol in Northeast Portland when she saw a Free2move Jeep with a broken rear window. She pulled it over. The driver, 33-year-old Robert Fremont, told Dobbs that his cousin had rented the car and that the key fob was inside.

But according to the affidavit, Dobbs was unable to find the key fob. Instead, she found “two 2-inch computer chips with wires hanging out of them.” The affidavit says that Fremont admitted he’d used the contraption to start the car, “by holding them next to the start button.” Dobbs arrested him.

While being booked in jail on charges of vehicle theft, Fremont said he used fentanyl daily and was living with his mother, according to the affidavit.

Eleven vehicles is a fraction of what’s being stolen from Portland streets each month. In January, 984 cars were stolen—a third of them Kias and Hyundais snatched by thieves who learned from TikTok how easy it is to hot-wire a Kia Soul.

Good. Those bastard vehicles take up valuable parking spaces, and replaced a decent service with one that has worse vehicles for predatory prices.
 
Left Oregon. If I’m going to live in a place that feels like a small upgrade from a third-world country, I need better weather.

(kidding about knocking Oregon/Portland. It will always be home. I’ll be back.)
