Ripped off at La Fonda AGAIN
In the afternoon occasionally I stop at La Fonda's after a day of shopping in San Diego for a bite to eat. About 3 years ago I had my car broken in to
and the usual was taken, wallet, check book, sunglasses etc. On Thursday it happened again. Same things taken plus my rib eye steaks. Now have to go
through the ---cancel the credit cards, bank account, get more steaks and fix the window AGAIN. This has only happened at La Fonda's parking area.
Whoever ripped me off this time could not see anything in the vehicle (all covered up). This place has a serious problem and you should be very
concerned if you plan on stopping there. I told the manager that he needs a security person out front and he said they have a guy, I never saw him. I
think La Fonda is a great place to enjoy the view and have some great food but I will only stop there for breakfast now while the P-nche Ratas are
sleeping off my or someone elses Rib Eye dinner the night before.

Could you describe......
....how they are gaining entrance to your vehicle, for the benefit of those of us who do occasionally park there?
I was parked up top from LF del Rio for about 5 hours on Sunday and did take measures to immobilize my vehicle.
But what can you do about a "break-in"? Was it a true break-in? A wind wing window?
The restaurant's in that area need to be told by those of us who frequent them that this is starting to make us think twice about visiting their
establishments. While I NEVER leave my wallet in my car (especially THERE!), I cant keep all valuable out of the cab of my truck, i.e., Hi LIft,
tools, etc. While we can minimize what we might lose, we should be able to expect a degree of safety in areas they supposedly provide security.
That security guard should be fired...........I guess that means he will have to go back to waiting on tables only.
What kind of car, LL?

We just got back from a great weekend camping past Rosarito, nice weather, surfing, etc. We met a family who's friends had their room at La Fonda
broken into and their car also, I believe Friday night. The funny thing is they stole a bag that was on the car seat and it contained the daughter's
homework. I wonder if her teacher will believe that story!

It's such a funny story, the teacher will probably believe it.
"Hey Juan, check out this backpack I stole from the stupid gringos."
"What's In it Pedro?"
"I don't know, but it's so heavy it must be gold!"
"Open it up and let's see."
