I have grown very fond of fishing out of the Chandler Rd landing but I have heard of at least two very extreme instances of vandalism and theft at that ramp as of late. It has really deterred me from going to my favorite ramp. Its very sad. I know there will always be aholes but is this landing that unsafe or am I just being paranoid? Is there anything to be done at all other than the police patrolling because I know that they already do that.
I’ve launched there plenty of times over the past several years and have not had any issues. That being said, I have heard the same stories. There always seems to be traffic in and out of there, whether its boaters or guys on their lunch break. However, I never leave anything in my vehicle of any value as a CYA.
I launch there 1-3 times per week. I have never had any problems, but like Juice15 said, I don’t leave anything of value in my car/truck. I have heard the same stories as you. There are bad people everywhere these days…I would say park at your own risk and be smart…don’t leave stuff in your vehicle of value or importance.
Is that the Paradise Landing? Used it a few times without any problems but, times are changing.

Typically the only times the vehicles are broken into is because the owner left valuable items in plain sight. Sucks we have to hide everything so our vehicles don’t get robbed but that’s the world we live in.
