In this day and age, it’s hard to believe anyone would think they could get away with doing something shady because there are cameras everywhere! This week our KPRC 2 Investigates team obtained video of trash workers clearly NOT doing the job they were hired to do in one community. Neighbors there are MAD! You might be too when you see our investigation. Plus, Investigator Mario Diaz learned new information about that county shed full of expensive African art. And, a driver was left stranded after getting bad gas. Why is it so hard to find help?

New details: African art investigation
A private African art collection that has been housed in a Harris County maintenance shed will be relocated to an undisclosed, non-county facility starting September 20. However, the county still has yet to confirm who owns the art, according to a spokesperson for Commissioner Rodney Ellis.
Mario Diaz first reported this story over 18 months ago and has followed it as public integrity investigators launched reviews of alleged illegal conduct surrounding the collection and the money spent to refurbish the county shed. One of those investigations is now closed and the other is nearing the finish line. Watch our latest investigation.
Driver stranded then left snubbed!
KPRC 2 Investigates finds you may have a hard time getting help if you get bad gasoline in your vehicle.
When gas station pumps dispense contaminated fuel into your tank, it can cause thousands of dollars in damage. The station that sold the gas is ultimately responsible, but lawmakers made a change recently that seems to be giving gas stations selling bad fuel a pass.
Our KPRC 2 Investigates team met with one Galveston man who has been dealing with one bad gasoline problem. We’ve also uncovered new information about why it may be so hard for him and others to get answers.
