One of the many surf spot car burglaries has finally made the big time news.
The local ABC News just ran a report about a surfer at Topanga, or as ABC calls it, Malibu, that had his credit cards and phones taken from his vehicle.
"Sean Harrington has been surfing in Topanga for 40 years, but last week, he experienced something that's never happened to him before - and it didn't happen out in the water." reports ABC News.
This long-time Topanga surfer hide his keys "in my usual spot." He told the news. "I've been doing it for years."
Which is stupid, we are always telling people not to hide the keys, theives hang out watching for surfers to do that. Theives go grab the key, open the door and go thruogh the vehicle for whatever they can take, sometimes they drive off with vehicle. It's been going on for years, even though ABC News thinks it's a new trend.
When Harrington returned to his car after surfing, he couldn't find his key, and with all his doors locked and since he hid his phone in the vehicle, he borrowed a phone to call his wife to bring his spare.
Once the wife arrive, he found out out that his phone and credit card were gone. And not only his, but his buddy had left his in there as well. All gone.
"$37,000 was spent at Cartier, while thousands of dollars were spent at an Apple store. Plus, somehow some cash was able to be transferred." Harrington reported.
His buddy's card got taken for $40,000 of items purchased at The Grove.
Later, when he went to the lLost Hills Sheriff's Station to report it, he said he "ran into two other surfers from the Topanga break who had the same thing happen to them."

The homeless encampment on the beach at th Santa Monica Venice boarder known as No Man's Land is finally gone. For months this encampment was allowed to stay on the beach because neither city wanted to deal with it. Santa Monica Police would push the tents over to the Venice side of the border, LAPD would allow the tents to stay up on the border, throwing blame on Santa Monica. During the week, the Sherrif's Departement held a press conference to discuss the homeless problems on the beach. At the end of the week, SMPD and LAPD joined up with the help of St Joseph’s Center, the People’s Concern, and Los Angeles Parks and Rec to finally clean up the ever growing encampment.
"Our primary objective remains educating those in violation of Santa Monica municipal codes and State laws, enforcing violations when necessary, and connecting individuals with all available resources to minimize habitual and chronic offenders from returning." announced SMPD.
"The Marina Del Rey Meth Manufacturers Asoc. would like to assure the local Meth aficionados; last nite's RV fire on Mesmer South of Jefferson may cause a temporary disruption of supply, but we pledge to work 'round the clock going without sleep to maintain the supply."

OCEAN WATER QUALITY RAIN ADVISORY has been issued lasting through Tuesday, September 13th at 10:30AM. A rain advisory is issued when there is significant rainfall that may cause bacteria levels in ocean waters to increase.
An Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory has been declared for all Los Angeles County beaches. The advisory will be in effect at least until 07:30 am, Friday, December 17, 2021 (72 hours after significant rainfall). Beach users should avoid water contact for at least 72 hours after significant rainfall. This advisory may be extended depending upon further rainfall.
Because of the recent rainfall, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, is cautioning residents that bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate ocean waters at and around discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers after a rainfall. Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill.
A rain advisory is issued when there is significant rainfall that may cause bacteria levels in ocean waters to increase. Bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms, as contaminants within the runoff enters the ocean. Bacteria levels may remain elevated up to 3 days depending upon the intensity of the rain and the volume of runoff. Elevated bacteria levels in ocean water may cause illness, especially in children and the elderly. The Department of Public Health recommends that beach users avoid contact with ocean water for a period of 3 days after significant rainfall, especially near flowing storm drains, creeks and rivers.

Over the weekend, sherrif deputies in Malibu had to break a window to rescue a dog (Jack), who was in distress and panting in the vehicle as it was quickly heating up. After announcements were made to try to find the owner, deputies had no choice but to break the window. After Jack was rescued, the owner (who was surfing) came out and was cited for 597.7 PC; leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle if the conditions would endanger the animal’s health or well-being.
As a reminder, during heat waves it is recommended to leave pets at home. Cars can heat up and quickly become a death trap for pets.
Malibu/Lost Hills Sherrif's Department has zero tolerance in these matters and will enforce all applicable laws.
