Someone is chaining their belongings to the park benches on 2nd Ave NE on the south straub park side. The same luggage was chained to a different bench yesterday. Someone is moving it to keep resetting the code violation clock. This type of practice is more than a nuisance. It's easy to see how a bomb can be left in one of these and the city is going to sit by and watch. It's dangerous. Elevate this as a security issue please.
