with the other things. I also found

an empty cartridge with no needle

in it. I looked for the needle in the

sea weed but didn't find it. I also

found a piece of a balloon and 2

empty tubes of what I was told was

sterile water for mixing Just as I

was driving away, a ton of school

kids on a field trip to that beach

were getting there. SHAKING MY

HEAD! I wasn't looking for

them, just walking. I started

picking up cig butts and garb when

I saw them in the sea weed at the

tide brought in. On my back up the

beach, I started looking in the sea

weed and found more. I should

have gone back over the whole

beach edge. Now it's gonna haunt

me!(Photos taken 383N.001-

Needle found in the gutter next to a

parked car on the 100 block of

Walnut Avenue. Video taken. A

few notes: 1) this video was shot in

front of a federal building! 2) as

you can see, the needle was

directly under a security camera. 3)

there was a 2nd needle on the

sidewalk nearby. 4) both needles

were capped, possibly unused. 5) I

called the police non-emergency

number, and when I came back a

few minutes later, the needles were

gone.

Last night I gave a tour of my

neighborhood to a young man from

ucsc. From my house to the

exchange and thoroughly the trails

for an hour. What we found. We

started walking up emeline and got

to the last house before the county

building and found our first fresh

new cap. He was surprised. Then

in front of the hospital I was

showing the sharps box and 2 caps

in front of the box. We continued

to the b-40 walk path. And found

people camping by the creek. I

couldn't show him the hiding holes

in the river bank but did shoe him

the drug den down there. As we

walked behind the senior center we

found a 4 th cap. Yes a Baggie too.

I'm going to start giving free tours

with education of needles and

clues. If interested pm me I will

make weekly posts too. Cruz

6 needles found in a parking space

in the River St parking lot on Jan.

warning us away from the spot as

we had our dog on leash walking

by. One woman stayed to warn

people away and the other woman

and I went in to (a business) to

report it. It was a sunny day and

we were so worried that a child

might step on the needles. We

returned to the parking lot and I

used shopping carts to surround the

area so that no one would step on

them. One of the women called

SCPD who directed her to the

proper person. We were told that

they would send someone out. Im

sure that they did. None of us

could stay. I drove through the lot

and found the security guard who

was happy to be notified and

headed right over to the site.
