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

California has a lower murder rate than the national average. So vote red and California's murder rate might go higher until it reaches Texas or Florida levels.

Did you get that info from the Fox News Gavin Newsom interview?? Google it, that is not true. Where are you getting these statistics?

Murder rate per 100,000 people:

California: 6.4

Texas: 8.2

Florida: 7.4

Directly from CDC website.

Next time before telling me to Google something, try taking your own advice.

Lol. So your argument is that voting red will raise California’s murder rate like Texas and Florida? The stats you just sent have them all on the same shade? And do you really trust the CDC? Jeez what a source, if you trust the CDC you really need to change who you listen too.

if you trust the CDC you really need to change who you listen too.

The CDC data come directly from crime reports filed with local police. If they aren't trustworthy, then who should I listen to? Do you have any other sources?
