Had a car stolen once in the early nineties. Ended up on the border near Mexico. This scene is basically verbatim to what was explained to me by the police when I arrived to pick it up; even down to the "Soup Kitchen" terminology.

I lost my favorite fish in the parking lot at Velzyland back in 1980. I parked the station wagon, ran through the jungle to check the surf and when I returned some thieves had tossed a basketball sized rock through the side window and grabbed it. I was stuck riding my backup a 7.0 pintail the rest of my stay.Me - 9x. 4 in NJ, 2 Carib, 2 SoAmerica and in OZ my whole car was pinched..
Fauxed!Not a single one of my vehicles has ever been robbed while surfing.
This is most likely because not a single one of them surfed.
LMAO@uDumDums
Take care.
They probably have Cellebrite.- broken my iPhone password
how old is the phone they cracked open? i wonder if modern iphones withthe face id would have helped or not in that sitch.They got me today, first time in over 2 decades.
Buried my keys in the sand today in a downpour at Scripps, nobody in sight. As per usual. Came back and looked like a dog dug a hole in the sand.
Ruh-roh.
Back to the truck, mat was flipped, wallet and celly gone. Doors nicely locked.
Here's the crazy part. Since everything is timestamped I know the sh!t got stolen within 30 mins of being in the water, and within that time frame they had
- broken my iPhone password (they had texted with my wife telling her not to worry about the Wells Fargo fraud alert, that "I" was dealing with it)
- changed the password to+accessed my WellsFargo account (hell I don't even know the password to it because I never access it)
- moved around about $30k of funds within the account
- attempted about $20k worth of purchases of Apple merchandise
The only identifying stuff I had in my wallet was my DL. I don't use Apple Pay or any of that crap.
Pretty fascinating.
Now need to change locks to the house, mailbox.
Truck too I guess.
This software from a company in Isreal can crack any iOS and Android devices. They only sell to major corps and law enforcement agencies / gov, not to individuals.how old is the phone they cracked open? i wonder if modern iphones withthe face id would have helped or not in that sitch.
damn they almost got a huge score for some keys on the beach. when that happened to me all i had in their was a phone but i dont think anyone actually tried to get in my car - just took the keys and split.
Cute.This software from a company in Isreal can crack any iOS and Android devices. They only sell to major corps and law enforcement agencies / gov, not to individuals.
I'm sure it has found its way to the Black Market by now.

Got the motherFucking erBB M Knight Shaman here.1974, in A.C, NJ. States Ave dirt lot, right by the boardwalk ramp. Was checking it at the water's edge, looked back and saw a kid eyeing me from the boardwalk. Got a feeling something was up and started running back to the car. Came back to the boardwalk in time to see a pair of 13 year olds from the hood riding away double on a stingray bike. I chased them but was gassed from the run. I picked up a brick and hurled it as far as I could but (luckily) the brick landed short. Went back to where I had already seen my '62 VW's wing window smashed out. Cruised the inlet looking for the perps to no avail. Got away cheap enough
Holy fuckin sh!t man, what a nightmare (understatement of the year). Sorry to hear thatCute.
Well it's gotten a whole lot worse.
$69,000 gone from the account.
Wells Fargo told me they blocked the account early this afternoon when I reported $30k of unauthorized transactions, plus credit card purchase attempts.
Yeah, well they didn't.
And the fraud department this evening became accusatory - basically stopping just short of claiming I was the thief.
I was cool until now I'm fucking pissed.
Pouring rain, no guards around. Nobody except surfers on the beach. Sprinted from the truck to the beach. Sand on the handle of the door, guess cause they'd been digging. Of course the key has a 'yota logo on it.fook me that’s scary. sounds like someone was scouting the folks going out.
curious if you reported it to the Lifegaurd tower. if anything, they’d have a decent idea of the lurking creatures in the immediate area. certainly they will be back.
Pros for sure.Not their first rodeo nor attempt on you. You’ve likely walked past them in the past 3 months.
