Strong to gale force winds and choppy seas will affect most of the coastal waters through Sunday. Expecting elevated surf at west facing coasts, with strong, dangerous rip currents.
On Thursday afternoon, there was an attempt to blow up a truck in the 2nd Street parking structure in downtown Santa Monica.
Someone opened the gas door on a parked Toyota truck on one of the upper levels of the structure, unscrewed the gas gap, stuck a rag into the gas filler neck and set it on fire.
2 people saw the fire, called 911, and stopped it before the truck caught fire. The owner returns and is happy to find out the truck was saved, and let's the officers know he does have an ex who is pissed at him, but she is currently out of town.
