    arcata, ca - hitchhiker ride drove off with pack and guitar

    Male/female couple, putbull named king. Woman named Angel, heavy set. Male, skinny covered in tats. They were driving a Pontiac Bonneville that barely had breaks so they probably won't have that car for much longer. Really really shitty.
