Pacific Palisades Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore released the following crime statistics on Memorial Day.
The majority of the crimes were Burglary/Theft from Vehicle. Residents are reminded that nothing valuable should be left inside their cars. With out-of-town residents once again hiking local trails, it would be nice if there were signs to remind everybody to lock their doors and hide belongings, because thefts are possible.

Interesting that the photo is of a police car on PCH, presumably enforcing the “no parking” signs. That is a very rare sight! We live above PCH and have been amazed at the flagrant violation of parking laws. Even in this picture you can see the resulting litter. Lately some idiots are setting off fireworks at night which drives the neighbors, and the neighbor’s dogs crazy. I do wish that the police or parking enforcement people would spend more time on PCH.
