[pct-l] Leaving Shuttle Vehicle at Trailhead

[Peter "OC" Dascalos]

I have hiked that section of trail 5 or 6 times over the past 4 years,
leaving a car at the lot where the trails crosses the 74. I have never had a
problem but I did take some precautions. I always cleared out everything
from the inside of the car, even the glove box and leaving it open. Also
never any towels or blanket as if I had something was covered. I did have
the Sheriff call my home one time inquiring if the car was stolen and
abandoned. After that I did hang my Adventure Pass to let them know a hiker
was on the trail...

I am going to be doing a short section hike this April from Warner Springs
to where the PCT crosses CA Highway 74 just East of Anza, CA.  Does anyone
know, or have experience as to whether it is safe to leave a vehicle for 3
nights at the parking lot where the trail crosses Highway 74?  Any past
problems with break-ins or vandalism?
