About 9 p.m. Monday July 21 2014, Randy Abbott sawthieves removing three surfboards from the roof rack of his vehicle in the 2600 block of Oceanside Boulevard, according to police.

When Abbott confronted the thieves, they attacked him and threw him out of his wheelchair before fleeing with the surfboards in an older-model silver Toyota 4Runner with tinted windows and large BF Goodrich-brand tires, Lt. Valencia Saadat said.

“Two boards were recovered nearby but were badly damaged,” the lieutenant said. “A third is still missing.”

The robbers were described as roughly 5-foot-10-inch white men in their early to mid-20s, one with short but shaggy blond hair, and the other with a long brown ponytail.
