    It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to set up a camera to watch the building, what makes this hard?

    I’m worried that some child is vastly underestimating the damage they’re capable of, but I guess that’s still a better option than someone doing it on purpose.

      The trick is, it’s a 23 story building. It would be super hard to capture anything actionable from 412 feet away.

        That I can see, but surely it would be enough to narrow it down enough to get more focused footage. I’m not saying I’d be thrilled about it if I lived there, but I also wouldn’t be thrilled with a neighbor of mine raining cans down on my head

          Exactly. At least determine which balcony or window it’s coming from. It’s crazy to think this has been happening for weeks.

            one reason the blm protests were so virulent, in portland, is the Portland Police Bureau doesn’t investigate crimes….
            my friend had a prowler in her back yard, going through all her stuff and shed….
            she called the cops multiple times and they didn’t even show up.
            they’re a criminal gang… they’ve even been caught selling confiscated drugs and controlling the prices in the city….
            not even a conspiracy theory but something they’ve been caught doing….
            they just really don’t give a fuck… i’ve talked to many people about it.
            btw, from the article:

            Even if they were to go door-to-door conducting interviews throughout the building, which they say remains an option, most people do, in fact, own at least one or two canned goods, making investigating this bizarre situation increasingly difficult.

            yeah, so they haven’t even knocked on doors and asked around…
