🚨 OLEY, PA — $500 REWARD — PLEASE SHARE 🚨

0 Upvotes

I’m offering a $500 reward for information that identifies the driver of the red pickup truck that forced me off the road while I was riding my Vespa.
It happened in OLEY on Saturday, August 15, at approximately 8:00 a.m., near the corner of Stitzer Road and Oley Furnace Road.
The driver was an older white male, possibly in his late 60s, wearing thick-rimmed glasses. He was driving a red pickup truck. He saw me go down and left the scene. I suffered multiple fractures to my left leg.
Someone may recognize the truck or driver—or have security or doorbell-camera footage from that morning. Even a small detail could help.
The $500 reward will be paid for information that directly leads to the driver being identified. Please message me privately.
PLEASE SHARE—especially throughout Oley and with anyone living or working near Stitzer Road or Oley Furnace Road.

Plasma/Blood Donation Reading Area!

Does anyone on here actively still do this? Or at least have a great deal of knowledge on it?

I'm short on cash & was thinking about donating for some quick Cash..

Does anyone know how much money you get now??
Or what the process is? & wait time for donations & getting paid?

If anyone could DM me with some information or some feedback & which location would be the best to go to would be great! Thanks!!

I know it typically was pretty easy & straight forward back in the day. It's been over 10/25 years since I even tried donating.

Any info would be great!!

Please don't judge, just struggling at the moment.

Yet another thing Donna Scheuren doesn’t support: books for children. But weapons? Apparently those are just fine. At this rate, maybe she’d vote for guns for kids.

Hi, all. New to Berks, I live in Reading, in the Riverside neighbourhood (near Schuylkill Avenue). I have seen the pictured symbol spray painted on buildings, the sidewalk, and my front door. Anyone know what it stands for? Google lens turns up nothing. Thanks in advance!

My family are still searching for their dogs so any help would be greatly appreciated! We haven't given up hope, even tho the knuckleheads ran from their home in Lehighton chasing a deer back on Jan 10. PLEASE, if you know any hunters or hunting areas specifically, we believe they may be there, perhaps in an enclosure. SHARE THIS if you can with everyone you know. And thank you.

UPDATE—WITNESSES NEEDED: Red Pickup Forced Vespa Rider Off the Road in Oley

Post image
74 Upvotes

Hello, Berks community.
On Saturday, August 15, at approximately 8:00 AM, I was riding my Vespa near Stitzer Road and Oley Furnace Road in Oley. After I turned right onto Hill Road, a man driving a red pickup truck began aggressively tailgating me.
I then turned left onto Stitzer Road, hoping he would continue straight and leave me alone. Instead, he followed me and forced me off the road. The driver appeared to see what had happened but showed no concern and sped away, leaving me injured.
I fractured my leg in two places as a result.
The driver appeared to be a white man in his mid-60s wearing thick-rimmed glasses.
This is my second post about the incident. I’m hoping someone witnessed what happened, saw a red pickup truck in the area that morning, or recognizes the driver from this description.
Please share or repost this. The more people who see it, the better the chance that someone will come forward with information.
Thank you, everyone.

Hello, Berks community. On Saturday, August 15 at around 8:00 AM, I was run off the road while riding my Vespa by a man driving a red pickup truck. He appeared to be in his mid-60s, was white, and was wearing thick-rimmed glasses.
Unfortunately, I broke my leg in two places as a result of the crash.
This is my second post about the incident, and I just want to clear up a few things after getting some ridiculous questions on the first one: Yes, I have a motorcycle license. Yes, the Vespa was registered and insured. Everything was completely legal.
I’m posting because I’m hoping someone may have seen the truck or witnessed what happened. If you could please repost and share this, I would really appreciate it. The more people who see it, the better chance we have of finding someone who knows something.
Thank you, everyone.

Where can I park for an overnight hike in Hamburg?

7 Upvotes

I'd like to overnight hike, but don't know where to park. I always get a ticket at the reservoir, plus they don't allow / want overnight parking there.

Is there a place near a trail?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I recently received a job offer from DEKA Batteries, and I’m very excited about the opportunity. Before I move forward, I wanted to ask about the pre-employment drug screening.
Could you please let me know what substances are included in the drug test, specifically whether marijuana/THC is tested for?
