The West Long Beach Little League team's equipment shed at Silverado Park was recently broken into. It was the second theft in recent months.
The first donations trickled in Monday morning, half an hour after West Long Beach Little League President Louie Terrazas put out an SOS. One of the league’s equipment sheds — which housed everything from baseball line chalkers to propane tanks — had been raided by thieves for the second time in just a few months. A pitching machine valued at around $1,000 was stolen along with three bases, and a set of olive green locks were found cut and discarded on the ground.
Last week’s theft was the second for the league in recent months. In July, the team’s Polaris Trail Boss 330 all-terrain vehicle was stolen from an equipment shed at Long Beach’s Hudson Park. The vehicle was used to smooth clumped dirt on the playing field. Alberto Guevara, who was then finishing up a five-year term as the league’s president, estimated the vehicle to be worth several thousand dollars.
