Crime at Emma Wood and Rincon

We've stayed at Emma Wood on the Ventura County shoreline and loved it. It's right by the bike path and there's nothing like being lulled to sleep by the ocean waves. However, and it's a big concern, the area is prowled at night by homeless who steal anything that isn't chained down, and some things that are. We've awakened to the sound of neighbors swearing as they find bicycles and generators have "walked" away.

I'm wondering if the Rincon area has the same problem. I'd love to hear from people who have stayed there recently. Did you leave with everything you brought with you? Did you hear others having problems with missing equipment?

As always, thanks for the community wisdom.
  • We have stayed at emma wood a few times and didn't encounter anything like that or see any homeless people. Been to every beach multiple times from jalama to Leo Carillo and we have never stayed at rincon. I would imagine there would be less homeless and theft over there since it's a further out north of ventura. My buddy stays at rincon a lot and he has never mentioned anythin about theft or any incidents.
