Livestream it somewhere so people can see and if you get into bad trouble it doubles as evidence

Be careful, bring a torch(flashlight) with extra batteries and if you find something illegal let the police deal with it.

Good luck :D

You could try and talk to your council or something to see if the people youve seen entering are permitted to be there.

Getting chased by someone with a pitchfork wouldnt get you into trouble with the police though

I bet that guy didn't think a bunch of kids walking through his factory was normal either.

Attta boy. Best not to announce your plans, just do it and post the goods. Go off hours like early or late (not 9-5). Good luck.

What carrier?

Make sure there are loads of you and take cameras with y'all so you can take pictures/videos. And try and stay safe.

It wasn’t private property as the fences were broken and the main entrance was, and still is, wide open.

I can leave my door open and my fence fall down, yet my house is still mine.

You leave a laptop on a table and it's not yours suddenly?

The property has an owner, you find the owner by looking at the records at the county assessor's office.

Yeah, look it up.

Yeah, be careful trespassing around suspected criminal activity. Exploration of empty places is dangerous enough..

They posted pics lower in this thread, owners are probably using it for storage or parting out the old equipment. Buildings that size aren't just left for 5 years without anybody 'owning' it.

Yes, and I don't want to be critical since OP claims to be a in high school, I can't say I knew much about property at that age.

Just to give more info. Google your county plus CAD and you should be led to the county prop tax Accessor page. Most counties have a search engine to search by address and bingo you should have an owner name.

I don't think you understand the concept of ownership...

Don't listen to this user. Go be heroes. But make sure you each have a different colour t shirt on or your power won't work.

Hahaahaa. I enjoyed this comment very very much. Thank you

Pleasure

Upload it to imgur then share the link

Don't go near the bandos, that's where they're trapping out of, my dude.

Slang for abandoned buildings.

People that make drugs have guns, not pitchforks. This is really interesting though.

How about slaughterhouse? Pitchfork would be the perfect stuff

Too right.

Owners could be using it for storage or parting out the old equipment. I'd be surprised if a building that sized was truly abandoned and not just unused.

My natural assumption would be something with drugs

stay safe man, if somebody tells you to fuck off, do it and keep your mouth shut. Drugs and information is not a game.

Make sure that one of the kids in the group brings the "pinchers of power". You wouldn't believe how often they will come in handy.

Bolt cutters. Horrible advice as its impossible to explain having them. Got a drone? Film with it.

None of you guys ever saw goonies??? Pinchers of power, cmon

Are you actually fucking retarded?

I would do surveillance from afar first, before they realize you are wondering.

Take money, lots of money. Make sure you have all your best jewelry on and wear loud shoes. If possible, wear a jacket that rustles and have your phone playing loud music at all times.

Don't sneak about like a faggot. Play life on hard mode.

Good shit. R/shittylifeprotips

Dude I would stay away from that place. Close to my hometown there's "haunted houses" on a place called "Red Root Ridge". They are creepy AF for the simple fact of there's 3 houses and a trailer and all the furniture, kitchen stuff, toys, books, etc is still in them. Of course it's all rotting away etc as the houses have been vacant for years. One of the last trips up there we went at night and came across some people cooking meth. It was crazy and sucked cause the houses did had a freaky vibe. Not worth dying for though.

Coordinates?

Anyword on that daycare from like a year or two ago that had like containers of toys being shipped linked to it. I forget the name of it but mayne someone remembers. It was real sketchy too

Toys:

5 companies are on a bill of lading for 1 shipping container, contents listed as 1.1KG of "plastic jewelry", and 6,852KG of "soccer/footballs" from China. 1 company in California makes electronic and other "educational toys" and seems to be on the up-and-up. 1 bait-shop in Idaho with a registered sex-offender living at the same address as a company listed as receiver of goods from the shipment. 1 Some financial agency shell-game in Chicago. 1 shady day care in Salt Lake City whose owner shares the last name with an executive (see management, not mayoral) level employee working in City Hall. 1 bounce house rental company in Oregon no one has looked into yet.

The actual shipping of this container was facilitated by a company with an employed sales executive who once bought/sold 'merchandise' in the defense sector

I would have at least 3 of you with a strap.

FEMA CAMPS!!!’

Keep us updated on what you find 🙂

I say go again at midnight and see if you can find any evidence of definite illegal activities. Try and get into the factory if you can. If you find anything illegal then you can call the police and give an anonymous tip-off without saying you tresspassed(even though it might not even be tresspassing)

Our current theory is drugs and/or something way darker (hopefully it’s neither).

I think if something really nefarious is going on there you probably aren't going to be chased by some rando with a pitchfork. You'd be shot before you could get within 50 feet of the building.

Hahaahaa. I enjoyed this comment very very much. Thank you
