I was the victim of an attempted car jacking at knife point this morning at
Alton Baker Park.
I am fine (physically).
As I was putting on my rain pants this young punk with a skateboard, sleeping
bag and bags came around the back of my car and pulled a black switch blade
on me and told me to give me the keys to my car,
to which I replied, "NO"!
I then ran around to the passenger side of the car and grabbed my pack with
my cell phone, I was going to lock the car from that side but he got in the
car with me from the drivers side, so I ran out the passenger side and called
the police.
He continued to rifle through my car until the police arrived.
The police were great, about 8 cars responded within 3 minutes and had the
guy in custody soon after.
This took place a the east end of Alton Baker Park in the gravel parking lot
next to the canal.
I almost never bird Alton Baker Park . Be alert out there and take
appropriate safety measures.
I wish I new karate. A way to ruin a perfectly good birding day!
