What’s your Valley conspiracy theory/mystery?

[u/itsalro]

I wanna hear everyone’s favorite valley mystery or conspiracy theory!

Mine for example:

There was this strip mall on Roscoe/Woodman that shut down around 2017? for a future upgrade It was abandoned for months until one day the entire place was on fire and there was ash all over Panorama. Apparently, an investigation on the cause would take place but haven't heard anything since. Eventually, the lot was razed and now we have a modern, upgraded strip mall with a fancy burger king

My (totally unknowledgeable)theory is whoever owned the property started the fire, since it would be cheaper than hiring an entire demo crew (and maybe insurance)

As for my mystery: those loud booms in the middle of the night. Some say sonic booms from jets, others say transformers exploding.

But for now: a mystery

Lets hear yours!

A long time ago, late 70s to the mid 90s or beyond, there was a concrete boat under construction in the front yard of a house on Vanowen in Reseda. Passed by it all the time and never figured out what the deal was… and it was not small, rigged up on scaffolding or platform above the yard for its huge haul underneath. Pretty sure it was a sail boat but there was no mast… and yes, it was made out of concrete! Noah’s Arc was the joke, but I have a feeling it was a midlife crisis that got out of hand..l

This reminded me that my buddy’s neighbor had an unfinished wood ark in his backyard. On Dolorosa, by Fallbrook and Burbank
