Worse, I bet the RMV will do nothing to ensure this sort of issue doesn't crop up again in the future.

He was here for a month. From the article:

> He came to visit his friends in Jamaica Plain for a month last year and parked on the street.

They'll get right around to rebuilding it a decade or so after the entire parking garage crumbles to the ground.

Especially considering the growing range of chemicals that they have to do battle with. From the foam in residential furniture & beds to an endless range of chemicals stored in warehouses to electric vehicles and so on, the range of chemicals they're exposed to over the course of their careers is huge...

I saw an article years ago that indicated that the danger of such an incident is seriously overblown. I forget the specifics, but it said that LNG requires a LOT of oxygen to become explosive, and a leak, etc. in the open is likely to dissipate the gas long before it reaches an explosive mix. The more likely scenario would be a fire that burns the fuel off. While that would severely damage the ship itself, as long as the fire was contained to the ship it could just slowly burn itself out with no significant damage to the surroundings.

Think of it being similar to lighting a bucket of gasoline on fire versus what happens when it's the vapors from gasoline that ignite.

Back before 9/11 they didn't bother shutting anything down, they'd just warn boaters over VHF that it was inbound, and they'd send a couple USCG patrol boats to escort it and shoo other boats out of its way. I crewed on some USCG Auxiliary escorts back in the 90's and it was crazy how many sailboats thought they had the right of way over that thing and other big cargo ships. I bet the skippers on these things love having the harbor shut down these days.

Already had a B&E charge. So glad none of these peeping Tom incidents had escalated.

> They can already access all the data and functions of the vehicle modules with factory software that is already available to them (for a fee).

Let me guess. Those fees are way higher than a small independent shop can afford to pay, especially when it's one fee to Toyota, another fee to Ford, yet another fee to Honda, and so on.
