You should learn to mind your own business and focus on what you know about. You don't know anything about the homeless situation in San Diego except whatever fantasy you got going on in your head. The VAST majority of homeless here are definitely mentally unstable, and a lot of them are on drugs. Crimes committed by homeless has been on the rise, and the ones that do crazy shit like this are, to no surprise, part of the crazy homeless population. The ones that are homeless and sane own cars, have dogs, etc. Before you go blindly defending someone who straight up stole construction equipment worth thousands then didn't understand how he did any wrong, think about what it would take for someone to do that just to pull a car up to help someone change the wheel of a car.
