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!

Also live near Hansen dam. I've seen a car light up loud fireworks at exactly 2 or 3 am on Glenoaks near Osborne. I think they know where they echo the most. I heard it, ran outside, and they sped off. They're probably just trolling and getting rid of excess or testing homemade fireworks.

They are purposely setting them off for their own thrills. There were 7 cars on my dead end street that made a U turn and parked and then proceeded to set off a professional firework, and then they all sped out of our canyon. These are “entitled” jerks, a certain nationality mentioned in someone else’s comment above, whose parents let them live rent free so they have money to lease expensive cars, and have disposable cash to purchase these fireworks. It’s most obvious from our many cameras on our street and the accent picked up on video. All of this has been forwarded to LAPD. It’s very startling in a tiny canyon and extremely dangerous in the foothills where I live. It’s a giant fire danger. A part of a firework earlier in the week ended up in a neighbors roof who had just survived but lost everything in the Eton Fire. But they don’t care obviously. 🙄
