In a brazen burglary spree, thieves have been targeting dozens of luxury cars along the Pacific Coast Highway near Las Flores Canyon, leaving some residents fearing for their safety.  People living along that stretch of PCH woke up Memorial Day weekend to a knock at the door by a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy informing them of the break-ins. “Walking out and just seeing everything vandalized was just traumatizing,” a resident identified only as Leah told KTLA. “It’s like you don’t feel safe in your own home. Malibu is so peaceful everyone loves coming here.”  Surveillance cameras from Leah’s home captured the thieves breaking into her Range Rover, which was parked in the driveway.
