Cars are only allowed to sit for three days before they may be considered abandon. It takes a lot longer to have an abandon car removed. There is a special patrol looking for those vehicles. Years ago, it was common to see a car appears during the night. A neighbor that lived up in the woods had a car that wouldn't start, and drug it down to our street. It had lots of good parts, but as the day went, so did the parts.

Because the car out front was stolen, It got moved the same day. The vehicle removal specialist said our area is the highest car theft area in the county. Of course, it is the highest in drug arrest as well. Next is motorcycle road kills.

I took the Highway Patrol motorcycle riding class, and canot believe the way they ride.
The officer had to stop the removal process and go to a road kill. We took Mook for a ride, and saw the accident. Then we were passed by about 50 bikes going about 80MPH around a blind curve.

A never ending story.

A quick look on the web shows boulder creek as a lovely small town where little happens. The local crime map is pretty innocent.

They don't even tell us. When we moved here, there were several meth labs behind us. A young girl became critically ill from the fumes and was hospitalized for several months. We were never informed. We found out years later from a frined whose daughter had gone to school with the girl.

The daughter just left high school, and is now living under a house with her boyfriend.

One of themeth people was living in the forest in an old water tank with his daughter. At least the girl was young enough to be his daughter. He later moved to a place near us, but was arrested for meth.

A mass murderer lived down the street from us. It may have been the one I went to school with. Anyway, that one was arrested when he was going for my friends daughter.

Alfred Hitchcock lived here.

The brothel is about a mile from us.

We here occasional explosions from drug labs.

Only occasional gun fire.

Lots of histroy.

You can enter and leave the town at the same time.

Wow. A lot going on. I revisited the map and saw I was just looking at the assault info. A lot more popped up when I just chose Boulder Creek. Many years ago i was chatting to a guy in Florida and he looked disbelieving when I said I didn't know anyone with a gun. The only guns I've ever seen in real life have been carried by the police or soldiers. I remember US news reports feature shoot-outs and drug raids in localities, while they are still very unusual here. Keep safe.

Probably more danger due to mountain lions and wild boar. I haven't seen any lion signs in the garden lately. There are thousands of boar in the mountains. They have been coming down for water and food.

The parks may close due to lack of funding. If you came here, you would only need to stay five minutes to see the town.

The trees in the garden are not as tall as the ones in the park, and only about 8 feet in diameter. Still fairly large, though.

No butterflys. There haven't been any for about two years. Ocean is still here if you like dead seals.

If there weren't constant sirens, it would be quiet here.
