No where is safe in CA......
Sweet Jesus thats an area where I'd never think that'd go down. I will state that there has been some sort of en campment forming right up that way walking distance. For those that know area the tents are up Avocado by medical buildings where road ends. CDM would be the last spot I'd think of this.... right after Carmel... it says a lot.

RIP…so sad

Back around Christmas time, Chino PD had a huge presence at all the shopping areas. They had the LED signs stating so and would constantly see the cars driving around the shopping centers. They took it pretty seriously.

I have stopped wearing any jewelry by myself really. Only to big events or a date night now. It’s not worth the attention that it could attract. I won’t wear my grandmothers ring anymore because it’s irreplaceable.

Since when? It was forming by the bus station during COVID and up to middle of 2023, but Newport passed new laws to get it cleaned up. It wasn’t there in Dec, Feb, or May when I visited for a few weeks. Is it back?

That second paragraph is a big one. My inlaws live across the street so I sent the story to my MIL. They aren’t as flashy as some of the people in their neighborhood, but definitely flashy enough. Big rings, Jewlery, Gucci this, Prada that…..just a giant target these days. It’s why I don’t wear watches, and why my wife doesn’t wear her engagement/wedding ring unless it’s a special occasion. Only the Qualo rings for us.

Wife doesn't wear any jewelry anymore either with the exception of ear rings, gold with small CZ stones. We wear our rings for family functions and that's it, not even for anniversaries, just not worth it.

@Xtrmwakeboarder same for us silicon rings as well

Damn, I'd never thought of it as getting that bad, where you couldn't or wouldn't want to wear watches or wedding bands. You don't hear much of this going on in Phoenix, but it probably happens there too. Sadly, this probably only made the news because of where it happened.

This is Newport. There is no way they were released. Todd Spitzer wouldn't have it. This is not LA.

May the lady RIP and the Husband find a way to deal with this horrific crime.

Lots of tents off Jamboree by Fletcher Jones. Wanted to walk the hiking trail last week, but did not feel safe.

It started during covid when everyone was sitting outside eating at restaurants

So in the new CA budget prison funding was cut to provide more funds for "social programs" this is such a circle jerk of epic proportions. Shifting money from prisons to social programs just keeps these programs in business. Build more prisons, end no cash bail, repeal prop 47.

Thugs from LA, all 3 in custody. They will do no less than 20-50 years each in O.C.
Folks in LA are moving here to the OC to escape the crime. Close to being done with the Freeway expansions and yet stop and go traffic yesterday...nearly all day.

We have new neighbors across the street and this was exactly what he said. They had to sell two houses to purchase this one and now has the Mother in Law living with them. LA's crime is helping to drive up property values here it seems.

Just build more gallows and actually fix the problem. I said it. Not many have the stones to agree. If the punishment actually fit the crime, The crime would go down. And it doesn't matter what color they are.

Well, Biden and his cronies have let every gang south of the border in. We had them, but I think the influx of new criminals brings in new levels of crimes to areas not usually hit. San Diego has become a war zone. San Diego is short 300 officers due to the horrible mayor and the police say they are overwhelmed.

The sheriff in Riverside County is rock solid. He is empowering his staff to prevent crime at all costs....the legal system is the weak part there.

Oh thanks... I split the scene 9 months ago. Good to hear... couldn't believe they were letting that happen in that particular community lol.

Across street from my building in CDM I got new folks from Hollywood during Covids peek few years back. The guy became a close friend buying home from my good buddy. He told me he decided it was time to bail on LA when tanks showed up on his street... he'd had enough. OC folk used to call it White Flight in earlier days my ex tells me when LA folks abandon to OC in 80s.

Years ago when I lived in CDM if the cops saw a homeless person they would put them in the cop car and drop them off on the laguna beach border.
Man that is so true.... Laguna loves them some homeless. Stuffed em up into Canyon. Their property values have quadrupled since I bought there and now the North Laguna fat cats aren't too wild about that philosophy much like we are all seeing in other Blue areas of US... "not on my lawn" is in full effect finally.

Another glowing example of Liberal policies ,soft on crime, defund police and "defang" the populus with restrictions and rules that the bad guys will never follow
