Dear Community ,
On Sunday night 4 cars were broken into at the bottom of Partington Ridge. My Truck was one of them. They popped the back of my camper shell open. I had all my Fire,Rescue, Dog and Sheriff SAR gear in boxes in the back of my camper shell. They took a red backpack with gear and most importantly all of my uniforms from 3 different departments that I work and volunteer for. When I think about it, I can’t believe this is happening in our community. Then when I think bigger , I guess its our world.
I want to let these people know it is a FEDERAL offense to have uniforms from Law ,medical or fire that do not belong to them. I would like people far and wide to keep their eyes open for someone using my uniforms from Monterey Country Sheriff SAR , Monterey Bay Search dogs, and Big Sur fire.
If you know anything about the break ins at the bottom of Partington Ridge or anything about my gear or uniforms please call Monterey county Sheriff department.
Thank you and stay safe,
Jeannie Alexander
So very uncool. When I read crap like this… 🙁
I am sad to hear that, Kate. And yes the world is more and more like that. Even here, for the first time since we began our project six years ago, some people tried to break into our little Sun Bird Garden/ Big Sur Nation Embassy hut, closed for the winter. They did not get in but did $1000.00 worth of damage to our place and damaged 40 or so other garden houses as well…
Beyond sad!
So sorry to hear this…the violation, the inconvenience. More importantly, I am exceedingly worried that a thief can now be a threat to women and all citizens by masquerading as a trusted first responder. These uniforms mean a lot to us…..they identify the volunteer as a trusted member of the community that we can rely on, and entrust with our safety. This post needs to be widely shared.
Katie, I agree. I posted on FB, too, but it should be added to every Big Sur page, also. There should be a share button on the bottom, if you are on FB, if not, I will make sure and do it again Monday, as some people don’t read the blog on the weekends – busy living their lives, as they should be.

Jeannie –
So sorry for the violation of your volunteer service. Hope everyone knows to be on the look out for your petite size uniforms. Chances are that a guy stole them and will dump them as useless to him. Hope the it all can be replaced at no expense to you. Insurance claim will hopefully be quick and easy.
Sending chi for the person who stole and for Jeannie.
