Helicopter Attempts to Scare Bobcats in La Crescenta

Local authorities are using a helicopter to try and scare away bobcats in La Crescenta Tuesday night.

Officials are using a helicopter to scare away bobcats wandering a La Crescenta neighborhood, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 

The call came in about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday near Pineridge Drive and Rosemont Avenue, said Deputy Rachel Whittendurg of the Crescenta Valley Station.

Editor's Note: Initial reports from authorities indicated mountain lions were in the area. These were bobcats. Patch regrets this error.

Greg....This is the kind of light hearted posts so desparately needed at this time. I doubt the cost effectiveness of this. The Bob cats will be back and the bill for the helicopter service won't go away either.

The secret to getting the Bobcats to go elsewhere is to put a large pic of Justin Bieber on a Pine tree...way up the hill...

I am feeling virile today at 73....My joints don't hurt ! Alot has been said about Bobcats and Mountain Lions...but I wonder...are these dangerous to humans? I would like to know...Thanks B

Only if you corner it. We had one sitting on the garden wall located six feet from our dining room window. (I have photos). It looks like a large house cat but the pointy ears and the taller stature prove that it was a bobcat.
Greg Hiscott December 19, 2012 at 06:19 pm
Mountain Lions - are another story. They are dangerous to people. Especially small people.

Good Morning Robert and thank you for your response.

To answer your statement, we did look for over 2 hours. Not assumption of fact, it was lost eitherRead More in the establishment or just outside it.
Lee June 18, 2013 at 03:31 am
We spoke with the restaurant and they were so very helpful and kind to help us look. Already did asRead More you suggested. I already spoke with the police station and the military. It's understandable that someone wouldn't know what to do with it if found and that's why my friend, in hopes to assisting me, has posted these and others around.

A little inappropriate to have to read if those happened to be your cats.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 23, 2013 at 02:39 pm
I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b
lmd6280 May 24, 2013 at 06:45 am
Thank you so much. I definitely should not have been wearing it... it has been loose for a coupleRead More of years now. I'm hoping that it is on my property otherwise I am at the grace of good honest people... Thank you for your suggestions and I have filed a lost property report and I will definitely call the local pawn shops. Keeping it in perspective and at the end of the day it is just an object, but I'm definitely hoping that it finds its way back.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 25, 2013 at 03:21 pm
Loose for a couple of years....you have been dieting If you worked in your yard on thatRead More day...rent or get a metal detector.
