ATT: PONTO SURFERS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wade · 05-07-2014, 04:54 PM

Was just out at the beach all afternoon hanging out & checking the surf @ Ponto today and came across some odd findings... In that timeframe, I witnessed a nice young kid 18-20 years old park his red car & load all his surf gear into his girlfriends car. After an hour or 2, this older guy precedes to walk up the coast highway & starts to case out this kids car and try to gain entry from all around. I don’t know if it was his Dad looking for his son, or a typical tweaker who rips off local surfers searching for wallets & keys under bumpers and tires.. I assume the latter.

When he noticed the paparazzi he hi-tailed it outta there…

So when I eventually left, he instantly went right back up the hill to that car..
I noticed this in my rear view, and flipped around & shot this car that slid in my previous place..
It pulled away instantly when I came back just 1 minute later from a U-turn...FWIW..

Right on Wade. Way to keep your eyes open.

wiredantz · 05-07-2014, 07:51 PM

Thanks will keep an eye out for this jerk.

Thank's for the warning.

shawny · 05-07-2014, 10:21 PM

If he's a tweaker... probably put on the nicest polo and pearliest sweater he owned (or shoplifted) that morning to attract less attention.. Good lookin out! and good quality photos - you got some steady paparazzi hands there

bigbarrels · 05-08-2014, 06:14 AM

must go around hoping to find keys on the tires? should report that to police and maybe a lot of people have been hit by this guy

I gave CPD a call and sent the photos to the Ponto beat...

Alright damnit...thanks Wade.

That's my beach, a couple minutes from mi casa. Don't recognize that dude, bet though if I do run across him will ask him what the phook he's doing.

Was that his car in the last pic? Can give the license info to a buddy, he can have a buddy of his run the plates and find out who the heck that kook is.
Tried getting a look at the hat, no luck.

PS - You got a crack in your windshield.

No prob! I dont know if that was his black honda, a random innocent bystander, or another lookout or getaway that pulled in my spot right when i left...
i shoot first, and ask questions later...regardless, it looked pretty bad..
(it wasn't looking like a friend/father verifying if a surfboard confirmed junior was otw) unless he has the worst case of short term memory and had to recheck 100 times..
looked more like can I gain entry. is there a backpack ect I can capitalize on (again)...
I've been jacked one too many times and I'm really tired of these crews hitting us all up..
Ya, I earned that beauty from a nice T-Bone @ the shores leaving a session going up De La Playa when a Range Rover floored it through a small gap @ the intersection..POW!

This is a classic heist in del mar/north county area. People sit uphill with binoculars and watch for boards and wetsuits. When they see you are going surfing they look for where you stash your key. The lookout stays at the top of the hill via cell. Happened to me at 11th street. I never leave my keys anymore.

Cbad Mike · 05-08-2014, 01:09 PM

I've sent the pics to a few friends that surf up and down Carlsbad.
Once again thanks for being on the look out.

Good eye

ronbo613 · 06-28-2014, 07:25 AM

Leaving keys on your tire went out about 1995. Same with safety pinning your key to a towel and leaving it on the beach.

We don't leave surfboards on the side of the house anymore either.

Thieves stink! Hopefully that guy gets busted if he is a thief!
