Wave of Buglaries

Thanks to Dave Ross, editor of the Valley Center Roadrunner, and Mountain Cabin owner, for giving our burglary situation more exposure with the following article:

WAVE OF BURGLARIES ON PALOMAR MOUNTAIN

Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a series of burglaries on Palomar Mountain.

According to the department the burglaries have all happened at weekender’s homes that are out-of-the-way of the main roads. The methodology would suggest that the burglars themselves are mountain residents or familiar with the area, since why else would they know which homes are occupied and which are not?

Items taken are pieces that can be quickly sold, such as generators and tools.

The Sheriff’s Dept. advises residents to always be aware of the serial numbers of their possessions, and keep those numbers in a safe place, or to mark valuable items with an etching device. Or else to take photos of valuables for future reference, as this can help in identifying the items if they are recovered.

Regards,
