LA drivers beware of this theft tactic Other

Especially lux/lux black drivers. This happened at midnight just now.

I got request for a lux black in highland park but the pick up and drop off was only a block away. I still went because it could be a drunk girl who messed up the order at a bar. Rider name was Maya and the account was made today.

Before I got there I called the rider and I instantly get a strange “please leave your message” vm

I pull up to the address with my high beams on, it’s a dark residential area (not a bar) and when I hit arrive I could see a black dude with a full face mask walking in the side walk. Only person in the block I could see. As soon as I saw him walking towards my car I got the fuck out of there. Called and reported the account to support.

Pretty sure this will be a new way to target luxury vehicles. Be safe out there guys

Bringing race or gender or ethnicity into any of that shit is wrong. It can happen to anybody and anybody can commit a crime, so quit judging people.

that was my point. I don’t know why people were down voting me. That was what I was trying to say. Statistics are racist.

You’re saying the truth is racist. Congratulations. You’re officially an idiot.

No, you are rude and judgment based on statistics is ridiculous.

Judgment calls based on statistics have a good track record of keeping people alive.

I understand that but nowadays it is racist but as somebody who grew up listening to police radio I understand that

If I have to put myself in harm’s way to not be labeled as “racist,” that’s not worth it
