“I’m choosing to stay,” said Tim Allen, a resident in the evacuation zone. “If I walk away from my house I might as well board it up and say I’m never going to see it again.”
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies are on patrol within the voluntary evacuation zone in Rancho Palos Verdes .Authorities on Wednesday could be seen using vehicles, ATVs, and horseback to deter and try to prevent home break-ins."We definitely want to be a deterrent to any burglar, or anyone that wants to come up here and try to vandalize or steal," said LASD Deputy Antonio Salceda.Roads and homes in the area have been sinking by the foot this year.
"Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told FOX 11that deputies will stay in the area to help residents and to deter possible thieves."We don’t want any victims of residential burglaries or anything like that," said Sheriff Luna. "These folks are going through so much, don’t put them through more than they have to go through."The sheriff says deputies went door to door asking people if they were going to evacuate, but many have chosen to stay.
