Stolen Lamborghini Recovered Thanks to Vigilant Malibu Volunteer on Patrol.

The LASD VOP team in Malibu routinely patrols the parking areas adjacent to local hiking trails to deter vehicle break-ins and other criminal activity. On Sunday February 25, two VOPs were patrolling the parking lot at Winding Way (East) and noticed an unoccupied black Lamborghini with no license plates parked in the lot. The VOP’s requested that a deputy respond to their location to run the vehicle’s VIN. The vehicle turned out to have been reported stolen out of LAPD’s Wilshire Division. The vehicle was towed and will presumably be returned to its owner. The driver was located by the deputies and claimed to have rented the vehicle for the weekend.

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Friday, March 1, 2024, an impromptu gathering unfolded on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, featuring Venice Healer Daisy. Despite a recent injury that left her with a broken foot, necessitating the use of a wheelchair, Daisy engaged in heartfelt discussions with a local Venice Sage and a Monk. The incident leading to her injury occurred during a dance performance, where an ambitious jumping twirl resulted in a hard landing and a subsequent fracture.

Amidst sharing insights on healing and community, Daisy also opened up about a personal chapter of her life. She detailed a recent marriage proposal she made to a man she refers to as her new "Turkish King," revealing that her offer was not accepted. Daisy provided an elaborate account of their exchange, shedding light on her experiences with love and rejection. This meeting not only highlighted the resilience and spirit of a community figure but also touched on the universal themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning."
