Home Burglary and Auto Theft from Linforth

 

The following is a letter that one neighbor on Linforth sent to neighbors after their home was burglarized and their car was stolen. 

 

"We are writing to inform you that our home was burglarized between Friday, May 23rd and Sunday, May 25th. 

 

Along with this letter, we are including images of the burglary which were recorded by another neighbor's security camera.

 

The burglars also stole our car, a 1984 gray limo Mercedes which can be seen in the images.

 

We kindly ask you to contact us by phone or email if you have any information that could be related to this burglary. Also, if you have security cameras on your property, we ask you to please review the footage and to contact us if you find anything relevant."

 

 The man you see leaving is the man who later stole the vehicle. 

 

If you have any info at all about this crime, please contact: [email protected] and we will put you in touch with the victim.

P-22 Getting Well

 

 

New video showed that an ailing Griffith Park mountain lion, known as P-22, appeared to be recovering from a case of manage that was caused by poisoning.

 

P-22 became a bit of a media sensation after the big cat was photographed with the Hollywood sign behind him as he hunted in Griffith Park.

 

More recently, P-22's health appeared to be deteriorating.

Experts believe P-22 ate a coyote that had eaten some poisoned rats.

 

Carolyn Costello reports on his improving condition on the KTLA 5 News at 10 on Wednesday, June 4, 2014.

Thought for the Day

"Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it."

Philosopher
