New wave of late night beach Th'er robberies in So. Cal
Went to our monthly meeting last night and was informed by someone that hunts alot in San Diego late into the morning hours that a group of young 20ish men tried to rob him of his detector the other night. He wears a walky talky and radioed his son who was close and when confronted with two very large men, the dirtbags left. This was at La Jolla Shores the middle of Sept. Another incident on the same beach within a week or two also happened. An early morning kayaker was launching his boat when a vagrant walked up to him and asked him for some change. He said he didn't have any and the vagrant stabbed him with a knife. Not sure about his condition as I only heard this by word of mouth. Apparently there was also another incident where a group of young latino gang members tried to steal someones equipment by pulling a knife on them, but the th'er pulled his own knife on the assailant and they left. Just a word of caution. If you go out in the early a.m., keep your eyes open because these scumbags have decided to target us as easy prey. All that flashing of things found is definetely having a negative effect!! Solutions - hunt with someone else close by, if someone tries to approach you head into the water, most people will not follow. Keep a safe distance from anyone approaching, carry a weapon -a big knife is scary and might be a good detterent, but could be used against you, pepper spray is legal in CA and will give you the opportunity to get away (after you give the guy a really hard kick and a good whack with your sand scoop!!!)
