The San Luis Obispo Police Department announced Wednesday it is seeking the public’s help identifying a thief who smashed a car window and snatched a purse out of a car at the Cerro San Luis trailhead on Fernandez Road on Sunday morning.

The suspect then used the victim’s credit cards at Target and Chevron. The suspect is heavy set, bald, with a dark mustache.

Investigators are asking anyone who can help identify the suspect or his vehicle to call (805) 781-7207 and reference case 250823020.

The usual suspect in these parts (outside of the Anglo meth/fentanyl junkie).

Perform a “reverse image search” and see what Ai pulls up.


Solution: Baja men’s colony. Done.


1. Big bald head, stache, bulky arms- former inmate.

2. Familiar with a SLO trailhead- lives in these parts.

3. Smash and grab. All to familiar with the process.

4. Bet the perp has an account with the parolee database. Just a matter of time.

5. Folks, lock up your cars and put away all valuables. Call your local LEA if you suspect anything.


The hunter/gatherers from the north and south target SLO. Trailheads, college parties, checking the doors on every single car parked on the streets and driveways every night. When my car was broken into my cards were used at a certain Mexican market in Nipomo within hours to the tune of hundreds. You’d think this could be investigated. My bank said the police are not interested and cheerfully refunded my money and ate the loss. The SLOPD confirmed this, they would only log the report. The bank didn’t even bother to dispute the charges. Would cost more time and hassle than just eating it.


He’s scoring cash for his Ozempic!


It’s not working.


Pretty good picture from Target. It could be a little better. That big head should be easy to identify.
