Carjacking at O'Hare

From a few days ago.....we are unfamiliar with the airports, and will continue to be for the next ten years or so due to our seniority. Is this in a secure area?
  • An employee at O’Hare Airport was carjacked at gunpoint Thursday while showing up to work in a cargo area.

    The 24-year-old had just parked her car in the 600 block of West Access Road when a man got out a dark-colored SUV and tapped a gun on the window, Chicago police said.

    She got out and the man drove off, police said. The SUV also drove off, occupied by two other males.

    The carjacking happened in the Swiss Cargo area located between two runways in the southern part of the airport, according to a law enforcement source.
"between two runways" and "cargo area" would seem to indicate someplace reasonably secure....except for that part about carjacking.

Hopefully some of the naive liberal voters will realize that while this country is going through some of the hardest days in its history, certain people (dindu nuffins) are dedicated to committing carjackings, robberies and other crimes. Maybe the lockdown will shine a light on those who continue to wreak havoc in the streets and finally wake people up. Financial crisis, police resources stretched thin, and these people don't care!! They're still out there fucking people up. They don't care about the economy, people losing their jobs and thousands dying.

Jacking Hare
Hey, how's the Boys Club (CFD) now that flights are
down 60% worldwide? The Country Club, where rules
are meant to be broken, even though you have to go to
the State House.

Here’s the true story. Victim was getting gas at a gas station in Bensenville. Car pulls up as victim is wrapping up the gas pumping. They follow her, eventually e/b on Irving to SOUTH ACCESS RD, where she works at Swissport, which is about 3/4 mile off of Irving. They approach her as she’s exiting the vehicle. They displayed a gun, said they’d shoot her. She gives up the car, they flee in both vehicles back towards Irving Park Rd. The area was not on the “secure side”. It’s a public access roadway. Anyone can drive on South Access Rd. “Located near two runways” means on one side of the fence is one runway, and behind the fence on the backsides of the warehouses, is another runway, nowhere near where anyone could access. That’s a little misleading, to say the least. The victim’s vehicle was found in the lovely 015 Dist, so that’ll tell you all you need to know about the offenders. A crime of opportunity? Most likely. A rare occurrence? Surely. Could it have ended quite badly? Most definitely.

Oh sure it’s secure.
When I go to the airport the TSA giggles as they check my prostate.
If you care, it’s all good

The parking and receiving areas for the cargo companies are generally easily accessible and wide open. Yes your between runways technically but a few hundred yards and a gate away.

You wont get near a runway or through a building without a valid reason though.

Has CFD changed their Profile Photo?

When asked about the workload, the standard answer
was "We do a lot of training out here." Well, I guess so.
Nobody's flying anymore.
Hey, can CPD get special touring passes?

3 people armed with only handguns could easily shut down O'Hare for at least a day. Skeleton crew of old timers (no offense) and people with major clout.

It's on non secure side. You can access this road off of Irving Park road.

Over the years, 050 has stopped a bunch of cars that were just shopping. Can up with some real good arrests too. Way too many targets of opportunity there and very little security by the tenants.

It's an unsecured area.
South access rd goes under a taxiway by means of a tunnel. South cargo has a lot of loading docks and employee parking that is wide open...no need to go thru a security checkpoint.

I have worked in that area and I can tell you it is an extremely secured area. Just not for cars.

Thanks for the info. Makes more sense than happening in Swiss cargo area between two runways. Didn’t think employees parked in cargo areas or next to runways

What was stated above about being on the unsecured side is true.There are 2 access roads off of Irving Park Road that lead to the Cargo Areas. On the unsecured side employees park and trucks go to and from the loading docks.

Carjacking is not an essential business and is violating stay at home doctrine. We must capture these lawbreakers and put them in fatchops gulag in springfield. No toilets, only honeybuckets in fatso's jail and you wipe your ass with a shammie.

Ask yourself "why that car?". How many cars were passed up at the gas station? Why the risk of doing it in an employee parking lot at O'Hare? I'm sure there's way more to the story that the victim "forgot" to tell the police.

Non secure area of the airport. Most of the airport assigned police couldn't find that area. I once watched a Secret Service detail with VIP being escorted by a city cop who was lost on the south side of the airport. They weren't happy he couldn't find the gate.

RahmShanks $1 Billion dollar car rental hub put a damper on those Blue Line free-for-all community car pool dashes.
Probably someone came all the way down and didn’t realize shit changed. Gotta get a ride back somehow.
But again, there’s an awful lot of undesirables working in those private facilities.

That’s part of an area that’s open for private company employees, lots of them too.
Maybe the first car jackson but I’ve done a couple few stolen vehicles from the post office lots off Irving Pk Rd. side, stolen construction equipment, it’s a vast area to cover.

But to think how easy it is to gain access is alarming especially since 2001.
Then there’s the hands off doctrine from Cook Co and The Consent Decree.

Here’s the kicker...
Gated secure area has contracted security guards in the booths to limited access locations.
Sometimes it’s an AVPD old timer that mans a roller chain link gate.
Either way, nobody equipped to deal with the wandering armed violent feral


“...unfamiliar with the airports, and will continue to be for the next ten years or so due to our seniority.”
- I know airports peoples that been there 20 years and are still ‘unfamiliar’ ...even them house mice.
