That's a new one on me. Until now, our (Porter and LaPorte Counties) theft tourists were just day trippers from Lake County and Chicago.

Since the illegals are provided paperwork to fly around the country free at taxpayer expense, why wouldn't they zip around and steal anything that isn't nailed down? This is what your government has worked hard to enable.

Their taxpayer funded, coast to coast human sex trafficking operation is going even better than the theft rings.

Gee I wonder how the "international criminals" are getting in.

There was an instance of this in the news just a few weeks back in Carmel.

Surprisingly, the article states that they are flying in mostly from Chile and Columbia, renting higher end cars to fit in in the neighborhood, targeting very specific situations (business owners, away on spring break) and flying back. using teams of 4+. Cutting power... I don't think this is an illegal immigration thing but I skimmed it, and didn't really look into it.

Yeah, it didn't seem like immigrants.

I saw that. It's called squatting.

Lol, sounds sexy so it got the lead.

Believe me, this isn't a drop in the bucket compared to the "theft tourism" we get from Marion and Madison counties.

I guess indiana being a gun state doesn't matter to foreigners or alot of those places are against gun ownership. If they are against, maybe these theifs will change their minds.

Yeah that pisses me off. Squatters should have no rights like that. Basically stealing. Obviously they didn’t pay for it.

Do you think the victims are happily posting on the facebook... "See you all in Florida on spring break". DOH.
