Rant - Coastside Sheriff’s report: Week ending July 14

"There have been nine auto burglaries this week on the Coastside, at Montara State Beach and at West Point near Mavericks. Secure your valuables and lock your car."

I for one do my best to typify the surfer's vehicle as a non-target to thieves - no wallet, no expensive cell phone (got a cheapy prepaid just for the car), no tech gadgets. I don't use any concealers, covers, etc. to prevent prying eyes from seeing I've got nothing of value in there. I guess if they really want my surf bag and grungy undies they're going to get them but hopefully they'll pass on my, or another surfer's car in the future.

So I was thinking no worries I drive a mini van with kid crap strewn about. Then iread the link and the crooks are taking diapers and wipes!!"the burglars are not particular, they take everything that they can quickly get their hands on including baby diapers, baby wipes, purses, i-phones, i-pods, cameras, credit"

I figured as much. I saw lots of broken auto glass in the parking lot at Montara last week. Anyone know where I could rent a ninja to hang out with my car while I'm surfing?

@ Piss_ They used to call them "Magic Rocks" I was broke into in 1991. They have been using them for many years the $^&#&n . Bas@^*!(

What's a good solution? Just roll the windows down and keep nothing in the car? That's what I kind of do. I wonder if the $^&#&n . Bas@^*!( check the doors before breaking the windows :), then I'd say just leave the doors unlocked and keep the windows rolled up then. Who knows what level of intelligence we're dealing with here. Anyway, I'd get a water wallet, and just take everything with you, and get a convertible with the top always down heh :)

Just a side note for you not-too-clever types that think that nobody notices you putting your car key on top of your back tire when you head out to surf: Take your key with you. Between the drugged out weirdos at OB to the bored teenagers in Pacifica, someone is almost certainly watching. No need to just give away your stereo, wallet, and cell phone by just leaving a key for Mr. Creepy watching you from the van two rows over.

Put that key pocket to use. Get a second key made and wear it around your neck. Put the key in the little velcro pouch on your leash (although you'll end up with a bent key sooner or later .. the key pocket on your suit really is the best option by far).

I knock on Mr Creepy's van. He's my friend. We smoke doobs together and read Barely Legal.
