To those who do not know:
The forest has always been a place targeted by criminals.
The higher the perceived value left in the car, comparatively to others, the higher priority the car is to vandals.
In the past week, there are 3 auto vandalism incidents reported, and probably more than that not on the internet. The 3 places struck were:
1) Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 2) MtBaldy Road @ Barrel-Stoddard, 3) East Fork San Gabriel River parking lot. In the last case, 2 of the owner's tires were also slashed(https://www.gofundme.com/42ssy54)
Even at the end of Hwy39,past Crystal Lake? Anywhere.
