    Body dump from San Bernardino county or LA County is the question. I drove that route for 8 years almost every morning a new stolen dumped car sitting on the side of the road or stuck in the soft sand feet from the highway from car jackers trying to hide the car deep in the desert stripped or thrashed from joy riding. No one walks that are closes house occupied is miles away.
