"Pangas-r'us", by John Thomas

Just in from retired LACo OLS, John Thomas, yesterday (Sat., June 16, 2012) from Carpinteria, Calif...

 "I WAS WALKING THE HOUNDS ON SUMMERLAND BEACH AT SUNSET LAST THURSDAY WHEN I CAME ACROSS FIVE OF THESE 50 LITER FUEL JUGS , CAPS OFF, WITH RESIDUAL GASOLINE IN THE BOTTOMS THAT HAD JUST BEEN WASHED UP ON THE BEACH AT HIGH TIDE IN THE SPACE OF LESS THAN A HALF MILE. HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... THEY WERE STAMPED, HECHO EN MEXICO...


IT LOOKED LIKE THE PANGA BOYS WERE ABOUT. I TOOK ONE OF THE JUGS  TO THE COAST GUARD OFFICE AT S.B. HARBOR AND TOLD THEM OF MY FIND. THEY DUTIFULLY TOOK DOWN THE INTEL AND THANKED ME.  I  OPENED THIS MORNING'S PAPER AND SHAZAMMMM !!!!  THESE GRUELERS WERE OVERHAULED BY THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S AND THE  STATE RANGERS FROM EL CAPITAN BEACH AS THEY WERE UNLOADING 1400 LBS OF POT FROM THE PANGA  PULLED UP ON THE BEACH SOUTH OF EL CAP.



THE HARBOR PATROL DOCK IN SANTA BARBARA IS GETTING CROWDED WITH THESE PANGAS. SO A WORD TO THE EAGLE EYED TRUE HEARTS OF LACO FD LIFEGUARDS......... KEEP A WEATHER EYE WESTWARD NEAR SUNSET !   IT'S SUMMER AND THE PANGA BOYS ARE ON THE MOVE !!!
