Professional thieves La Jolla Shores.

[92122]

The "professional" part comes when they can break your iPhone password, your online banking password, and have a network of people working the retail end of things to buy as much stuff as fast as possible.

THAT is phucking gnarly.

Jesus, how much sh*t do you have engrained on your phone!? Did they get into your Apple Pay or something? iPhone Wallet have some financial sources authorized / linked!??

I have never used Apple Pay or have any of my cards set up in my phone and if I need them once I delete them after.

I'm tech illiterate.

Had nothing on my phone. I don't use apple pay or that kinda crap.

@casa_mugrienta i believe our house is one of the few that has never been hit .... plan to keep it that way.

Careful...I thought I was pretty fcking slick all these years with my keys and saw lots of people get nailed. Pretty sure they literally traced my footsteps in the wet sand. Simplicity beat my complex efforts.

Able to breach a lockbox’s considerable security measures, bought sh!t at the local mall, then kept wallet and phone while abandoning the vehicle. Definitely the work of organized professionals.

 

[CutnSnip]

Fark!! I have a transit with a fob key that I typically just hide. Gonna get a key I can carry with me just to unlock/lock the doors.

sucks cant fo the life of me figure out how to lock my car from the outside with the mechanical key. took it back to the dealership and no one in the service department could get it - so here i am stuck with a lockbox sitch even though we all know how breakable they are.

 

[Kento]

Put the key fob and all in a ziploc bag, bury it in the sand, pile a 4' high pyramid of rocks on top, and then p*ss on the rocks?

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

You can change that. You just can’t separate the metal key from the electronic part.

Ever heard of a….



…..plastic bag?

 

[Duffy LaCoronilla]

This isn’t that hard, people…

[StuAzole]

i don't see how it could not - what happens if the battery on the fob dies?

This.

i pull my key out and leave the fob in the car. Key on wetsuit string, no chance they drive my car away. Doesn’t stop a break in though.

What kind of car?

 

[Will there be snacks]

I have a metal key that I take with me in the water. I usually just bring my DL and leave the rest of my wallet at home. I like having my cellphone, but maybe I should leave that at home too.

 

[pastel]

keep a vigilant dog in the car. but make sure to leave those windows down a couple inches!

 

[StuAzole]

Who tf buries their keys in the sand before a surf? At least take the time to roll them up in a towel and leave the towel under a guard tower or something.

 

[Chocki]

I thought the erBB had reached a consensus that stashing the key in the ole prison wallet was the preferred solution???

 

[skullver]

Boy have tings changed. The surf lots used to be full of rusted out volvos and VW vans, biggest score would be some mexican blankets and a bag of crappy weed, maybe some luke warm beers. Thieves looked elsewhere for an easy score. Nowadays, the thieves see the lots full of fresh Mercedes sprinter vans full of $10k worth of silly twin fins, Tesla's, rinse kits, iPhones, iwatches, vlogger cam and mic set ups etc etc. No wonder.

Yes for a while that was the preferred method, but didn't you read the thread where someone had a key go sideways?

 

[Who's Your Daddy]

I know. When I lived in Kensington area off Monroe, I got my stereo and CD case stolen. Friend of mine staying over on a road trip got a bunch of stuff stolen from his car too (felt so shitty about that). Theft up and down the street. Filed a report that was useless, asked the cops why they don't just cross-reference who has recently been released from jail for theft with residence in Normal Heights as it's obvious they're going over the footbridge but was met with something like we can't really do that. When crime is so bad that everyone has to lock their dumpsters, that's a problem.

What's a CD?

Really? I don't know what your fob does, but mine opens the doors and starts the car.

If you leave it in the car, all the thieves have to do is pull your door handle, and drive away.

Unless your fob is protected in a sleeve or something.
