Pebble Beach Art Theft “Victims” Suing Their Insurance Company
But they dropped their lawsuit against the Sheriff.
The insurance company investigating the missing art work case for the last two years rejected the $500,000 insurance claim stating in letters to Kennaugh’s attorney, “It is our belief that the misrepresentations and concealment were intentionally committed by Kennaugh and Angelo Amadio in order to obtain insurance benefits.”
Two weeks ago, the men fired back with a $2 million lawsuit claiming the insurance company acted in bad faith stating it was, “Conducting an oppressive and lengthy Examination Under Oath of plantiff in an effort to unduly harass, vex, annoy, and burden plantiff in an effort to discourage his pursuit of his claim…”

Runaway Mayor Reappears To Save Us
Save us from water shortages as he turns cheek and runs away from the desalination supporters. What about a new dam on the Carmel river? Voters supported that way before any other money wasting projects.
Option 1, pipeline:
For $25 million, we could build a pipeline from the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency plant back to the communities on the Peninsula, where this water originates. MRWPCA treats all the sewage that comes from the cities of Pacific Grove and Monterey. Once the water is treated, it is used to irrigate about 12,000 acres of Salinas farmland, then approximately 10,000 acre-feet is emptied into Monterey Bay.
A pipeline can deliver that wasted water back to the golf courses, parks and public areas of the Peninsula.
Option 2, gray water:
Our communities have the option to mandate that all residents make use of gray water. Our county Health Department and most of our Peninsula cities support the use of gray water, which uses recycled water from showers and sinks to flush toilets and irrigate our gardens. A residential retrofit costs less than $2,000 per household and can save upward of 30 percent of water use in a normal home.
Option 3, David Avenue Reservoir:
A huge untapped asset is the David Avenue Reservoir. This phenomenal resource, built in 1897 by Chinese immigrants, served Pacific Grove and New Monterey for decades.
Insurance Company Also Says Pebble Beach Art Theft Was A Fraud
“It is our belief that the misrepresentations and concealment were intentionally committed by [Kennaugh] and Angelo Amadio in order to obtain insurance benefits,” wrote Farmers manager Bruce Litton.
The company rejected Kennaugh’s $500,000 claim on his “Fire Exchange Broad Form Renters Policy,” because of what it called “concealment and fraud” and said investigators were unable to “confirm the legitimacy” of the lost art.
“It is impossible that the insured ever possessed a 1944 Jackson Pollock drip painting since Mr. Pollock did not begin painting this style until 1947 …,” according to a June 10, 2011 letter from Litton to Cayce.
…
Amadio acknowledged the discrepancy and said that his previous attorneys made a careless mistake.
“previous attorneys”, LOL

Contractor Fraud In P.G.
Your taxes and SDI witholding at work. An injured chef caught doing concrete work. Maybe that’s why the biscuits were rock hard.
On Nov. 10, the District Attorney’s Office said, Jose Cruz was found installing a concrete driveway without a contractor’s license and didn’t possess workers’ compensation insurance for his employees who were working at a site in Pacific Grove.
They said Cruz told a Contractors State Licensing Board investigator that he injured his back while on the job the previous day. The District Attorney’s Office said Cruz had required a deposit of half of the $3,050 contract prior to starting the project – a down payment amount considered excessive by law.
Moe Says Things Are Looking Up
Sure, America’s Last Hometown still struggles with out-of-control CalPERS costs and bickering political camps, but real estate values have held relatively steady. And the downtown commercial vacancy rate has dropped from about 25 percent last year to half of that, according to P.G. Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar.
Rabobank recently filled the former World Savings Bank space on Lighthouse Avenue, he says. And The Alliance on Aging just signed a lease to run a high-end consignment shop in the old Hallmark building, which sat empty for almost five years. Other new retailers include a doll shop, a teen clothing store and two art galleries.
Nothing for locals to see, move along.

Presidio May Build New Gate On Highway 68
Pending congressional approval. Since we know how much Sam the Sham Farr cares about our national defense, it won’t happen.
The plan offers two alternatives: a centralized campus at the Presidio, consolidating instruction and troop housing there, with two new barracks buildings, three instructional buildings and four multi-level parking garages, or construction of the new barracks and instructional buildings at Ord Military Community, with parking garages at the Presidio.
It also calls for a future access gate to the installation at Holman Highway.
Most of those projects, including the new gate, are scheduled for fiscal 2017 or later and have not been approved by Congress, Elliott said.

Trolley Bus Stops In P.G.
We are in your town, filling your inadequate sewers.
“I think there are a lot of people who don’t know about Pacific Grove at all. And any instrument that brings people into the town, once they see it, once they’re acquainted with the charm of it, they return and that’s always a good thing,” said Terry Clemens, Pacific Grove Business Owner.
