Also, western states have "huuuge tracts of land" with few people in them. Kind of hard to prevent vandalism when the nearest cop/person is 30 minutes or 2 hours away, at empty highway speeds.

I've driven across Kansas on a highway (not an interstate), and seen exactly 1 police car. That's 8 hours of driving to see a single Sheriff.

Right but the article was talking about CO which does have police around

While I agree with it being challenging and an especially tough problem for rural areas, it doesn’t change the fact that what’s currently implemented isn’t working sadly.
