Yes Paul,
That 5$ is motive for crime in my frame of mind.
Dad in pain, The Freedom trail head is just barely inside the San Bernardino National Forest boundary. Just north of there is the B.L.M. property for @1/2 a mile before it is Los Flores property then there is the Bowen ranch property @ 1,000 feet north of there.
Where my friend had his window broken is actually National Forest property. Last fall survey teams located the boundary line which matched my new GPS boundary marks as being @ 100 feet north of my regular parking place. This all makes my motorcycle even more valuable because it has no glass to be broken.
I know now and should apologize to anyone who my have been mislead because I used to post that that spot was on B.L.M. property. My old GPS said so and I believed it. HOWEVER ! My android phone GPS seems to be more exact than the old GPS and agrees with the markers placed by the survey teams of last fall. I used to camp a few hundred feet from there on B.L.M. property. I am going to camp there more often with my camera, binoculars and a few guns in an attempt to catch the crime animals involved with these despicable sins.
While investigating this crime I checked to be certain no other cars were damaged. I happened upon some other long time hot springers who said " They did not know for sure but, they heard rumors that the Bowen ranch gang was vanalizing cars so everyone whould park there and give them money. Also they heard rumors that they were a bunch of drunks and dopers." I wonder who would start such rumors ?
