SLO police chief loses her gun, and now her car

August 22, 2019

Chief Deanna Cantrell

A little more than a month after San Luis Obispo Chief Police Deanna Cantrell’s gun was taken from a restaurant bathroom, her personal car was stolen from Santa Margarita, according to a law enforcement source. [Cal Coast Times]

The chief’s son had parked Cantrell’s Hyundai Elantra in Santa Margarita. On Wednesday afternoon, he discovered the car had been stolen.

Officers found the car six hours later in Daly City, with a naked woman inside, according to KSBY. Officers arrested the woman.

Last month, Cantrell left her pistol on the toilet paper holder in the bathroom of an El Pollo Loco restaurant. A day later, the man who found the loaded gun turned it into law enforcement.

Even so, Cantrell’s department asked the district attorney to charge the man with grand theft of a firearm, possession of stolen property and carrying a loaded firearm in public. Her request was denied.

Yep….lot’s of missing details. But there are a few astounding facts and historical precedents so far:


1. Chief Cantrell is on a streak of bad luck

2. Santa Margarita leads the state for “town with highest number of naked women who steal cars on Main Street in broad daylight.”


It will be interesting to hear the first few official explanations of how this women got into the Chief’s car…..and how the woman herself explains her situation.


If charges are delayed more than 24 hours there’s a kink in the story. Gonna be an interesting week at headquarters.

If someone steals my car, I would hope that it would be a naked woman.

Well she could lose her gun again or something else, she’s protected by her clan democrats that run the city. She’s a democrat, the city manager, the city attorney, the city council, city administration, etc are all democrats. If the chief was a republican, she would have been fired before the gun incident and two, the city doesn’t want a republican police chief because the city govement is liberal bias.

Details are missing, but I would assume her son was not in the john taking a dump when this most unfortunate thing happened? Left the motor running, left keys in ignition, or did the thief break into

a locked car – hot wire it and drive off??

Absolutely incredible, what is next?

It’s just preview shows for a new Fall sitcom…right?

This Chief is beginning to look equivalent to The Keystone Cops. Her actions require her dismissal for cause and prosecution for criminal offenses.

Honestly, I have no words. Except I can tell this won’t be the end of this story.

The money line of the entire article:


“…with a naked woman inside.”


Truth is, truly, stranger than fiction.


I have so many questions –


was the naked woman stolen along with the car, or was she added at some later time?
