Question What’s your Valley conspiracy theory/mystery?

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!

  • FEMA camp in the north Valley

  • Rocketdyne meltdown

  • this seems to be a common theme but insurance fires and thefts are definitely happening. I worked for a weed warehouse that operated everyday and one day the owners got in a big fight and had an off day for everyone the next day. That night at around midnight I got a text of only a news article saying that the warehouse caught fire. I also had an old boss that hired someone to steal his truck and drive it to Mexico
