PSA: Car prowler!!!
I parked in the small turn off parking area right next to the Cable Line TH. It took me just over 2.5 hours to get to the top (where they have it closed off for logging) and back down.
When I got back to my car, my window had been smashed in and someone went through all my stuff. It doesn’t look like anything was stolen, but I don’t keep anything valuable in my car. More so just sucks that I have to pay to get the window fixed now.
When I first parked there I noticed some other spots with broken glass, so clearly I’m not the only victim. Be careful parking there!! There were a few cars parked along the road and none of those cars were broken into, so maybe that’s the safer place to park.

That stinks. Someone told me they heard on the news that cars were being broken into and a trend had developed where some criminals would look for an address in the car and then go to that house and use the garage door opener or just break in because they knew the people would be gone for a few hours.
I have always been in the habit of taking my registration with me every time I go on a hike. Hoping that if nothing else, the criminal will have a more difficult time explaining things if they are stopped by the cops after they stole the car. I guess it would lessen exposure to this other threat too. Doesn't stop the broken window though. Sorry to hear it and thanks for warning us.
