Most believe whoever's doing it is targeting motorcyclists.

According to first person accounts, someone is intentionally pouring oil in a number of places and prior to the entry of some corners.


Nail spike. One of many found on Angeles Crest Highway.


Oil spilled across both highway lanes:

However, this is an issue for all motorists, including cars, truck drivers, and even bicyclists.

The question I present to you is: How do we address this?

It's costly to fix a damaged tire. It's even more costly if you crash your car or bike. It's devastating if you get injured.

someone creating an opportunity?

Maybe a Mechanic and Medic (ambulance) couple?

If the motive is profit then how is it different from a security company breaking into houses to scare people into signing up?

Set up a few of those motion activated game cameras across from the spots that are getting oiled

...and high-powered floodlights on motion sensors.

That will scare them away, not catch them.

What in the hell is wrong with people???? You're going to kill somebody on a bike doing that. They'll lose control and go off the mountain and down a 1000 foot ravine.

This is almost like committing murder. Sigh.

As time goes on, people do crazier and crazier stuff. This is news to me... Yeesh.

I guess we should ban oil, nails, and duct tape, post haste!

People are crazy..and that is an understatement

The blue tape and nail ball should be submitted for prints.

Tape is the perfect material for pulling prints, hope this psycho wasn't using gloves. I hope they find this person and throw the book at him for intentionally putting lives at risk.

Should someone die as a result, it certainly would be murder in most jurisdictions - the intent is there, and remember that the intent does not specifically have to be death (see, e.g., the Model Penal Code on modern-day interpretation of "malice aforethought", or "depraved heart" killings). In some states, statutes may lower to some degree of manslaughter, but I doubt it's too many.

This is some dark and evil stuff. But what puzzles me is the guy who did this video is still *****-out whipping blind curves on his bike, knowing full well there's this guy laying stuff out likely to get bikers like HIM.
