Due to the huge increase in surfers' vehicles getting broken into along PCH, LAPD put out this flyer:



Our photographers have watched first hand these pieces of shit casing vehicles at surf spots such as Sunset, Topanga and the spots in Malibu. But unless caught in the act, police will do nothing. Hell, even if caught in the act, the scumbag city officials have told the police not to arrest anyone, so the city has made it more enticing for those a-holes to keep stealing from everyone.

So do not hide you keys on your tires or under the car. These pieces of trash sit in vehicles and watch. Some will slowly walk along the park cars looking for the keys.

Yeah, we seen a number of surfers hiding the keys under their vehicles all the time.

At least, get a good key lockbox to deter these assholes.

Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"Today was a very foggy day on Venice Beach, you could not see the ocean from the boardwalk. Almost no people on the beach. I had to wear my thick down jacket to keep warm. I rode my scooter to the Venice Pier to match up some movie locations from the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas. I also went to the Venice canals to match up pictures from the famous group The Doors."

"Constructed in 1924, the La Monica Ballroom was the largest ballroom on the westcoast. Its 15,000 square foot dance floor could accomodate 5000 dancers. The building's Spanish stucco exterior was crowned with a dozen towering minarets that were lit up at night."
