I saw guys there at that warehouse at 4th and Fleetwood hauling out an air compressor using a tow motor. I assumed that it was being cleaned out since the city recently made a deal with the owner to buy the property. I’m pretty sure the owner of the property knows who was responsible. No I didn’t get a good look at the guys, I just glanced over as I drove by, and I’m sure others saw this too.
