High Theft- Homeless Problem

I have spent a lot of time in the lost coast since 1978.
It’s sad to see the area go down hill. Campers are sitting ducks for property crime.

We had our 2 mountain bikes stolen- valued $4,000.00. Bikes were locked with a heavy chain and hood lock. The thieves come between 3:00 am to 4:00 am with either a cordless grinder or large bolt cutter. Supposedly a harden chain and lock can’t be cut. Must buy on line- not what Home Depot sells.

Propane tanks, chairs, BBQ May also be stolen- but bikes are the desired item.

It’s so sad to see this beautiful area become a waste land. Police do not do anything- they can’t.

Crescent City officials say they can’t install cameras, lights, or gates due to coastal commission restrictions.

I don’t believe because the Harbor next door to campground has lights and cameras.

Area is stunning- place all valuables inside RV.

We stay here for 3 months at a time- starting in September.

We may not be back.

Huge and very dangerous homeless encampments. We drove around looking for our bikes- and accidentally drove into a homeless encampment. Police said they won’t go into these places.

The encampment looked like a war zone. Very scary. Burnt out cars, RVs, trash, very bad.
