What if you drove hobby grade RC car at an event like Dodger's Parade?

Why would anyone want to steal a $500 RC car?

Why do poeple steal period?

Well, it wouldn't be around a crowd because the streets were blocked off an empty. The entire crowd were behind barricades and before the parade starts it's just a few orange vest workers just keeping order.

I wouldn't risk it because it be very hard to get back a $500 RC car, I think anyone who is going to do it would need to accept the fact it could get confiscated or they probably couldn't get it because they be stuck behind a bunch of people, or have to hop the barricades. I just though it be funny to get a reaction from a huge crowd on a historic baseball event.


I understand, hopefully the operator is experienced or drives it somewhere it can be seen but won't hit anyone. Kids seem to like it though, some parents may not like it because they think it's dangerous. If it's a chill parent, they may like it too. But most soccer dads don't like it, they probably think it's distracting their kids and know their kids rather play with a $500 RC car than go to soccer practice. Some soccer dads may not like it but say nothing because they know it's a public park so they respect it as a public park. But I never heard a kid tell me my car is too dangerous, they all like it.

“The operator”?? Dude.. This entire thread stinks to high heaven, and is a complete waste of the forum’s bandwidth.. If you cannot be bothered to answer WITHOUT ChatGPT, then don’t bother posting at all.

Is something in the water? What is with all these weird a$$ questions lately? First girlfriend stuff, then prostate, now an rc car in a crowd? What's next, how to hide a body?

What's next, how to hide a body?

I can answer that one!

I live in Lake Forest, Orange County CA, and I likely could leave my $500 RC car on a table on no one would touch it. My area is one where most people drive Teslas and they are the common car here.

But what would a thief even do with a hobby grade RC car, will they try get into the hobby? Or will they rather have $50 even if the RC car they stole is used but they stole all the accessories needed to run it, even if they saw it was worth $500? If they are drug addicts, why don't they convince their drug dealer to get into RC cars and just say, I want $500 worth of drugs for a $500 RC car.

Only Los Angeles area, maybe DTLA, is where I will see the kind of people you're talking about. I was around those Dodger fans, they all seem happy, but the team won a World Series, so it's hard to say how they would have reacted if they lost and they were all in the street and then saw a $500 RC car being driven around in their after game riots.

I am sure it would have been fine to drive it after Game 7 in DTLA after the Dodgers won the World Series and residents were celebrating in DTLA. I think a $500 RC car doing donuts is much safer than illegal fireworks or car side shows.

Junkies don't care what town you live in or what they are stealing even. If whatever stolen item turns out is worthless, they throw it out and move on.
Maybe your town is gated. Otherwise, its a target if its got a lot of money.

I don't imagine many drug dealers are looking to call attention to themselves doing 30' jumps off skatepark ramps during business hours but I may be wrong on that one.

This has gone WAY off topic too...

I would NOT bring my RC to ANY place where it might be considered a nuissance or could potentially hurt someone if lost control or if a young kid jumps out in front of it to get a closer look.
A crowded, open area with no track or dedicated 'safe' area to run in is NOT a good place to run. Even if there is a closed street next to it.

Sounds to me like you are either non human, very young or very naive. The real world doesn't work like that.

Not all of us, but I'm petty sure AI causes cancer!

Someone from google came to my house and installed an 'AI causes cancer in California' sticker on the screen of my phone.

I can confirm!

AI itself cannot cause cancer, because it’s just software — mathematical algorithms running on computers. Cancer is caused by physical or biological damage to cells (like from radiation, chemicals, or genetic mutations), and AI doesn’t emit or produce anything that could harm cells.

To break it down:

AI = Code and computation. It’s just math running on silicon chips.

Cancer = Biological disease. It happens when DNA in living cells is damaged and the cells grow uncontrollably.

No overlap. AI models don’t produce radiation or chemicals that could mutate DNA.


The only indirect way AI could be linked to health effects is through hardware misuse — for example, if someone sits too close to an overheated or poorly shielded computer emitting lots of heat or electrical noise (still not cancer-causing), or through behavioral effects (like sedentary lifestyle from too much screen time). But the AI itself is just numbers — it can’t physically interact with your body.

Would you like me to explain how AI works under the hood, so it’s clear why it’s not physically capable of causing biological harm?

Reading this gave me eye cancer.

Then why do computers get viruses? Suck on that A.I. !!!!
