Thief Steals Property from 50 Vehicles Near San Diego Beaches

In La Mesa, California, police were looking for a suspect that allegedly stole property from fifty vehicles between last August and December.

A month's long investigation led them to the man who mainly stole from people who were visiting the beaches in San Diego. He would target people while they were near the water by waiting until their left their towels. He would then grab their car keys from their bags or purses and remove the valuable property from their vehicles. In some cases, he would even return the keys to the victims' bags or purses.
