Re: my camera gear theft... I realized that someone had to be watching me take outdoor shots and see me leave the place, and the only conclusion is they were either hiding in the bush against the wall (not really a good vantage point but possible) OR they were above me looking down. There is only one home above me on this mountain, an even bigger villa owned by some rich locals. Look below and guess who got the vantage point on me:
The robber was well dressed, clean haircut/shoes etc, didn't look poor or tough by any means, and was scared as hell when i hit them so definitely not a pro cat burglar. also explains why the cops or nobody else saw anyone running down the mountain cause there is only one way down... they lived up here. AND also explains why the 4 dogs here didnt go nuts and dismember him. nice strategy of everyone around me trying to shift the blame to barrio girls, putas i play with, and the hood folks on the flatlands. All those folks have the guard dogs here up their ass in a second when they even breathe near the gate. I even got handymen etc up here saying 'nah it couldn't be them they're rich spanish people they dont steal' mmm hmmm.... one thing i learned in oakland is your neighbors didn't hear shit because they were the ones doing shit
