On Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 23, 2023) Oregon State Police troopers responded to the Love’s Truck Stop in Klamath Falls for the report of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot. A U-Haul truck had been abandoned in the parking lot for approximately two days. When the troopers arrived, they could hear barking from the back of the enclosed truck. 

In a split vote, The Dalles City Council approved a new ordinance that will require businesses utilizing shopping carts to retrieve them within 72 hours of them being reported abandoned.
