Mayor of RSM, CA Shakes Hands with Irresponsible Corporations
-OVERVIEW-
BRE Properties and the Mayor of Rancho Santa Margarita’s joint responsibility of protecting the safety and quality of life of it’s local inhabitants seems to be -to them- a moot point. Both simply ignore pointed confrontation by any outraged and terrorized RSM taxpayer.
Case in point, the seemingly under-the-table company Sam Cast Landscape Services out of Santa Anna CA., an employer that most would say is a prime candidate for a swift ICE investigation -along with BRE Properties- and to all appearances supports hired personnel that are straight from the devils-highway, (and suspiciously has no website), basically dominates BRE’s southern properties. Why isn’t Mayor Thompson aware of this? Or perhaps he is aware. In what era would one find a reputable company with million-dollar assets in equipment, contracted and/or hired by multi-billion corporations like BRE Properties in RSM CA., that not only abstains from acquiring their own highly visible and/or public website as the first course of action in establishing a business, but maintains virtual invisibility as far as the general public is concerned with near zero internet presence?
“We’re literally being invaded by illegal aliens in our neighborhoods. Stay out of our trash cans means stay out of our yards and neighborhood. Neither the city nor BRE Properties respond to our outcry for help” says one RSM local.
It is no wonder that the locals are rising up in a fury. The above photo and video are just the tip of the iceberg relating to the monumental library of ammunition (photos and HD videos) taken by locals in RSM, who are organizing at a record pace to take BRE Properties and the Mayor of RSM to the mat with proof in hand.
Citizens of Rancho Santa Margarita pay a 67% higher cost of living than the national average, hoping to raise their families in a city that was once seen as family friendly and safe, offering a higher quality of life for their buck, but no more. They’re finding that the slum elements of bad neighborhoods are coming to them, literally to their front door unabated by the powers that be. “RSM locals want their 67% higher cost of living returned,” feeling with little doubt that they’ve been defrauded by the city of RSM and by housing corp.s like BRE Properties, explains one shocked RSM newcomer, "If only we would have known of RSM's total tolerance for trespassing derelicts at your door policy before we moved here."
Video documentation by highly concerned members of the community shows without a doubt that not only do BRE and other properties refuse to secure their southern CA properties against trespassing prowlers and/or scavenging by unknowns cruising their properties, they encourage it by blatantly allowing it to occur daily. Both the City of RSM and BRE point the finger at each other, stating that it’s not their responsibility when handling the unending complaints.
Still, the mayor’s office refuses to slap companies like BRE with a junction to clean up or pay restitution and get out. Even worse, his office refuses to have trespassing city ordinances and/or state laws (code 602) seriously enforced, according to those living in RSM. One vocal inhabitant says, “RSM is an open hunting ground for trespassing prowlers of would-be crimes of convenience, ever-threatening lawless illegal aliens, rapists, thieves, terrorists and murderers.” “Derelicts come and go as they please, looking as though they drove all the way from Compton or through the devils-highway and we have hundreds of hours of video to prove it,” reports a exasperated mother.
Those enduring this untenable situation, currently trapped in RSM CA. and places like BRE Properties via tainted contractual agreements (victims of facts not disclosed prior, that relate to serious personal and property safety issues), in most part are unprotected with little to no recourse to circumvent prowling trespassers in their front yards, streets, and neighborhoods. Things are quickly coming to a head, with many flocking to their attorneys for plan of action.
Angry RSM citizens gather to form a unique neighborhood-watch linking multiple communities in the area as one massive voice. Feeling swindled, they have some satisfaction, seeing their ever-increasingly motto rapidly proliferate throughout RSM comunities and So-Cal faster than a California wildfire, and it's burning hot. “Who needs trespassing ordinances after the fact except victims of crime, newspapers, insurance companies, lawyers, mortuaries and funeral-homes,” chants one determined RSM victim!
This is not to say that those captured by near fraudulent contracts in So-Cal's city of RSM don’t currently see themselves as victims of crime, having their homes violated by unknown and unabated frightening trespassers, as the current powers that be simply look the other way.
"If I weren't stuck in this contract I'd leave immediately, I don't care how nice the place is. I'm so concerned about the safety of my family from the RAZA-like scavenger's daily intimidating gauntlet that my wife has to friggin get through in the wee early morning hours to get to her car, that I may pay the penalty and move anyway, and settle with all responsible parties later in court!" rants one fed-up RSM resident.
Locals are calling for Mayor Thompson head, relatively speaking. The rumor is that the very least that's planed, taking matters into their own hands, is a collective mass exodus if change is not forthcoming very soon. Can you blame them?
It’s almost like home
It’s safe to say that no one would feel at home with that warm cozy and secure feeling of being snuggled up with your family while clamorous, scary, unknown strangers are prowling around just under your balcony at all hours, no matter how nice the neighborhood or home may be.
Mayor Gary Thompson is amongst the powerfully influential in southern California, while President Constance “Connie” Moore is one of the most financially influential individuals in California, bringing in a salary of over two million annually with BRE Properties.
One might think that between the two of them, via their mutually advantageous business union, that they could figure out how to not only protect their business investments in Rancho Santa Margarita, but more importantly how to best protect the safety and quality of life of the people living there.
One might also ask why the people in RSM are paying them a 67% higher cost of living than the national average and for what, for a place that’s almost safe or almost like home?

THE LAW - Recycling Theft
========================
CA. State law prohibits the theft of any recyclable materials. Appropriate Disposal & Recycling Companies are the only collection companies to collect recycling from recycling carts or bins. If you see someone other than an employee of either company removing recyclables from a recycling cart or bin, obtain the vehicle license number, car description, time of the theft, description of the person(s), note the direction they were heading and report the theft to the non-emergency Police dispatch office. For your safety, do NOT confront the recycling thieves.
When recyclables become more valuable, they sometimes disappear from the curb before the regular collector can pick them up. The practice of taking recyclables without the owner’s permission is called "scavenging," and its against the law. Basically, it’s the same as stealing, and anyone caught stealing recyclables may be charged with a misdemeanor and fined.
Removal of recyclables from bins and containers prohibited.
No person shall remove any recyclable material or solid waste placed in or immediately adjacent to a bin or a container as part of a city contracted solid waste or recycling program without the consent of the generator of such recyclable material or solid waste or of the collector owning or operating the bin or container under contract.
2009 Enforcement: fines up to $5,000.00
Top 10 Reasons Why Theft of Recyclables is a Problem
- You don’t want these folks in your neighborhood
- It’s a possible "gateway" crime – These people may begin to believe that its OK to take something if they are "desperate"
- Thieves may be prowling or "casing" the neighborhood
- Potential for personal or financial information to be obtained and used by a crook
- Neatness doesn’t count with these folks; they may leave the street and your lawn a mess
- Scavengers can become abusive or violent if confronted
- Response and follow-up on individual incidents is, understandably, a relatively low priority for law enforcement staff
- Over-lapping criminal/civil laws, penalties, and enforcement strategies are not well coordinated
- Loss of the higher valued materials (aluminum cans) ultimately means customers pay more
- Residents get less credit for their efforts – reflected in lower recycling rate

Scavenging: It's Against the Law!
Scavenging of recyclables is against the law! If you see a theft in progress please Police and report it as a "theft in progress". Do not confront the suspects! Law enforcement considers scavenging a gateway crime to other activities (e.g. drugs, identity theft, etc.). If the suspects have come and gone, or you did not see it but notice stuff missing please call police to report the incident to a Police Service Technician, if it is after hours and you receive voice mail, leave a message with your contact information. The Police Service Technicians will take your information and file a report.
