SE 84TH AND FOSTER RD.
Here are pictures and the car and plate number of the folks that tried to break in to the Space Age Station last night. Notice how bold these folks are not even caring about the possibility of cameras.
They yanked off a piece of wood and were trying to break the window Must have got spooked by something.
The owner sent me these pics. Funny thing is that even with their pics and a plate they will never face any charges or punishment. Pretty sad.
Yesterday’s adventure on 84th and Foster Road.
Along the fence and all around the porta potty was piles of human feces. Someone lit the porta potty on fire. Someone from the animal clinic across the street tipped it over to put the fire out.
You can see what the inside looks like.
This is not uncommon. I got there just before they hauled it away or cleaned it. These are not safe for our neighborhoods housed or unhoused and a waste of taxpayers dollars.
Animals don't do this!
Here’s an idea for the City to consider - FLAMING TOILET
Good Morning Lents
A while back my son was the recipient of a hit and run. We can get no information even though we provided a very good description and a plate number. It is crazy as my son saw the car still driving around. Sadly it was going the other way in some heavy traffic. Over $10,000 in damages. You might remember the hit and run guy I tracked down that resulted in another person seeing it on the page and finding out this guy had hit them also.
On Christmas morning 2 tweakers destroyed my truck and did a lot of damage to my car. They had no license, no insurance. Damage about $9,000.00.
This morning on my way to coffee a car was sitting with its emergency lights on halfway on the road on Foster by Ralph Miles Liquidators. I stopped as there was a young girl in the car. She said she was alright and that someone had run her off the road and kept going. She took out a street sign and some other sign as well as hitting a couple of trees. Her windshield was smashed, her side window broken out. I stayed there until a woman she knew came driving up. I am amazed this kid had no injuries.
If we had cops actually patrolling our streets and doing traffic stops on these cars that have, no plates, no tags, and driving erratically, I bet a lot of these would not have happened. These incidents I mention are becoming commonplace. It's bad enough we can't let kids play outside. We are not safe in our homes, our property is not safe, and now driving a car is dangerous. Parking out in front of your own home is not safe anymore.
Lent's with it's homeless camps, mad max vehicles everywhere has become a real shithole. Needles, garbage, theft, hit and runs. Elections are coming. Look at those in office now, and please do not reward them with another term, unless this is okay with you.
I am so tired of hearing about the plight of those who don't give a shit, being the cities top priority while those who work hard, play by the rules are ignored. Enough!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Woke up to two of my vehicles being wrecked!
This morning at 5:15 am I got a visit. No it was not Santa Claus, or his little helpers. It was Tara the Terrible and Mad Max. You know them, you see them driving the streets every night. No license, no insurance, an address on their ID that comes back to a local non profit. My guess is meth, but who knows.
My son woke to the sound of a loud crash and twisted metal.
When we got outside they were desperately trying to get the truck started. I had to stop them as they damn near backed it up into another car that belongs to my neighbor across the street.
My son, as I was getting dressed could hear her desperation in getting the hell out of there as fast as they could.
When I got out there I saw my truck had been hit so hard that it pushed it up on the curb, bent the back axle and shoved it into Chrysler 300.
I asked for a drivers license, she did not have one. I asked for insurance and she claimed that she just bought the truck and that the guy who sold it to her said it was insured. ( MY ASS ).
I made sure the police came and she attempted to tell the officer that she was going 20 miles an hour and something ran out in front of her. I think they call those meth monsters.
Please don't hand me anymore of this compassion crap. This has got to come to a head and soon. Our streets are not even safe to park on anymore let alone walk or drive on.
In Lents over the last 2 months I know of at least 5 hit and runs and several other accidents where the party at fault had no insurance. I cannot even imagine the numbers for the city of Portland.
What will happen to this dirt bag ? Nothing ! In fact, one of the snow flake agencies will probably help her get a license and a car.
I will be filing a DMV report which will prevent her from probably ever getting a license, but does she care?
Theft, garbage, drugs, feces, urine, hit and runs, property damage , fires, and who pays for it all ? Go look in the mirror.
So this morning about 3:00 am, The Crotch got a visit from a couple of tweekers in a van. They decided to stop on our block in the middle of the street to argue....probably over who gets the next hit. They spread garbage everywhere and just past my place one of them smashed a window. The glass was in the middle of the street, with a bunch of slimy green crap and pieces of styrofoam. My kid said it woke him up.. the police came and chased them away. Ahh, can't wait for summer nights here.
So this morning going for coffee I see all this in the street. I make a note to clean it up after my coffee. I get my coffee go inside and come out about an hour later to see it is all gone.
I walk over to my other pickup parked on the street and lo and behold this is what I find. Yep someone decided to sweep it over to this side of the street. Between the disabled man's house and the folks that just bought here. I got a shovel and broom and cleaned it up. What retard would do that and leave it there???
All the effort to sweep it all together ..only to leave in in front of someone's house..

This was posted on Nextdoor. It will probably be removed as the content will no doubt upset the snowflakes. Below the post is my response
Tell me something good....
My husband and I just moved to the area, and we love our new house and the neighbors seem to be lovely. HOWEVER, and maybe I was super naive in moving here, but ever since getting on Nextdoor I have been shocked at the number of car and house break-ins (too close to comfort to our address!) in this area. Its daily and the fear is beginning to get to me. I'm anxious leaving for work wondering if I'll come home to a burglarized house (my one and only concern there is our dog getting loose and lost).
I knew this area had some crime, but this is something else. There seems to be (understandable!) frustration in the community.
I guess I would like reassurance that this neighborhood isn't all bad- I want to love it here. Please tell me good things about this neighborhood- I need some positivity! (Also: ideas on how I can get involved in making this neighborhood a safer place are welcome!).
-New Neighbors
Dear New Neighbors
Welcome to Lents. Sorry you had to find out the hard way. Had you went on the LNJ page or the LNLA page you would have probably given it a second thought before moving here.
I used to try and post the number of squatter houses, and the issues going on here on the I love Lents page or the Neighborhood Assoc. page but was blocked from both long ago with countless others.
I have lived here over 20 years. It has never been perfect, but it was doable. No more. I often wondered if realtors were kicking something down to admins for making this place sound like a quiet little neighborhood.
The NA board and the I Love Lents page do not provide any factual information on conditions here.
Three years ago when things started going south we tried to get the NA involved. They denied the issues even existed. No different now. These groups receive money and rewards from the city so expect little truth in what they say.
Don't feel bad. I have a neighbor across from me that was told by the realtor he bought from, that this area was going to be the next Hawthorne. That was almost 13 years ago....and if you check, that line was use for at least the last 2 decades.
If you live in one of the new construction buildings you were probably led to believe the same. Well, I am sorry.. they lied to you.
Lents has been on a steady downfall for the last 3 years. Crime, homelessness and drug use is everywhere, Some areas worse than others. I know of at least 14 different folks that were decent hardworking people that finally just gave up and left. Your post is not the first time I have read about folks feeling they were deceived…just a little.
I live just off 83rd and Foster. If you noticed my post says From the Crotch....that is not meant to be funny. It is a very real and honest description of that area.
You can go to either the Lents Neighborhood Livability page or the Lents Neighbors for Justice page and ask folks on there. You might not like what you hear…but it will be the truth.
I am sorry this happened to you and your family. You’re not the first and you will not be the last. My advice is however to go somewhere besides ILL or the NA page for what is going on.
My advice. Be very aware of your homes chances of being broken into. Be aware that they also steal pets in this area. Your vehicle,, and anything left outside at night. .If you have packages coming get a neighbor to hold them for you.
Be careful of needles. They wind up in your yard, the parks and throughout the neighborhood. Feces and urine are also pretty common even in public places.
Had you asked on our pages…you may have at least had a better understanding of what it is really like...
Welcome to Lents!

Grey Hoodie

Big round glasses.
Was thrown out of Jackson’s store (Shell) this morning for stealing. I watched him hit a car driving up Foster with a juice bottle and the guy stopped and chased him. About an hour ago I saw him from my upstairs window going through my truck. As I was getting dressed he was jiggling my front door. He then did the same to my neighbor Brad across the street. Brad came out and yelled at him . I went out and chased him down the street. This one is a nut. Make sure your doors are locked. He has been hanging in the area all day. Has a weird gait so easy to notice. Be careful! He is a lucky man that my door was locked...had he walked in ..he would have had a third eye.
Last seen walking toward 83 and Woodstock.
DRUG DEALER
83RD & WOODSTOCK
Many of you have seen or heard of Asia. She has had stories posted about her on this page and others for going on 6 years.
When she first hit the streets I remember what a beautiful kid she was. Since then it has been all downhill.
What was once a pretty sane and gorgeous young lady is now a sad beaten young girl of 25 or 26 that looks like she is fifty and surely has mental issues.
I have often stopped when I saw her and bought her something to eat or given her cigarettes. I spent about a solid month with others trying to get her some help.
We called everywhere and ....all those places and programs they tax us millions a year for..and could get no one to do a thing.
The last year or so she has been walking around with an infected leg. I am amazed she is still alive. She was in my alley one day and as I approached her I could smell the leg 10 feet before I reached her. It literally looked like raw hamburger meat that had gone bad.
I know she had MRSA and she has had many abscesses from using the needle. She has been beat up, robbed, raped and probably had just about every bad thing you could imagine happen to her. Basically the "Crotch" is slowly killing her, but not without help.
Today as I was going to the bank I saw her on the corner of 83rd and Woodstock sitting on the curb by the auto body repair staring across the street ...like in a daze... I waved at her and she usually smiles and waves back...but she did not even notice me.
On my way back..she was limping across the street... you could see the pain in her face every time that foot hit the pavement. I watched her and slowed down. There are bushes there so I could not see what she was doing. As I turned the corner I saw the piece of shit and realized what was up. Asia was waiting for her dealer. I can't find his picture now but his mug has been on our page many times.
On my end of the block we know him because we chased him away from doing his drug deals down here. He would have people wait in front of my house and walk down and sell his poison. So what he was doing was making Asia wait until he was ready. As she approached him I heard him say, Bitch you wait across the street until I tell you to come.
I hope this guy gets colon cancer. I hope an artery bursts in his neck and he drowns on his own blood. I hope I hope. This sad excuse for a human being has been peddling his garbage there for years. This guy has been arrested...twice his mugshot has been on here. He lives in a nasty apartment I think with his dad (a gene pool that should have been terminated a few generations ago). He sits outside and slings his dope. He was in jail, but with this COVID they are not keeping pieces of shit like this locked up. They are worried he might catch it....is that a kick in the ass... they are worried about him while he poisons young folks like her everyday. I seriously doubt this girl is going to be alive a year from now. I am seriously considering a rally outside his house with signs, DOPE DEALER LIVES HERE !
This is really fucked up ! And they wonder why I call it the Crotch!
I was requested not to post this video because it would bring too much attention to Downtown and they feel they are currently not getting the "right" attention from the City. I think people need to know what's happening to our City, besides the protests, riots, looting and utter chaos. I understand all this action downtown is also affecting this population, so at this point, even though this video is meant to be lighthearted, I do sympathise with these folks. I wouldn’t want these events happening in my livingroom.
A 28-year-old man sits in the Multnomah County Jail after allegedly stealing a bait package with a GPS transmitter from a porch in Southeast Portland.
FROM THE CROTCH !
You all remember the problems we had last fall and winter with packages being taken off porches. It is still happening, however this may give you some hope that at least they are following through.
On December 5th Jacob Baker decided one early morning to steal the package left at my front door. He picked it up and stuffed it into his backpack, What Jacob did not know was that the Postal Inspectors Office, PPD had arranged with me to have a bait package placed at my residence.
He was caught red handed and arrested, charged and jailed for felony mail theft. He has been sitting in jail since December 5th.
We have had at least 3 court dates that have all been postponed The fourth date I got today which will be April 17th.
The clerk who called me said there was a good chance this one would not happen because of the virus. She said that they are basically only hearing cases of those that are incarcerated.
A common defense ploy is to postpone several times in the hopes that the DA's Office which is overwhelmed with cases will drop or plead it down..... or the victim(s) / witness (es) will become weary and not show up. If the victim/witness does not show up...the case is dismissed.
So I told the lady to be sure to tell the DA to inform the defense attorney that he is wasting his time if he thinks I will be a no show.
If the guy wants to sit in jail and keep postponing.. I have no problem...he's been in 4 months which is longer then any spent for the simple theft charge they used before the Postal Inspector got involved. I can wait another 4 months if he can !
