On Friday, October 23, Pauly Johnston came back to his campsite to find all his possessions gone. According to an area resident who lives in the apartments overlooking the area where Pauly sleeps, SDG&E hired a contractor to clear brush in the area. In doing his job, the worker apparently tossed Pauly's belongings into a trash receptacle.
Pauly had been gathering warm clothes for the winter, and his belongings included a new pair of shoes that had never been worn and were still in the box. Another homeless friend found the shoes in a nearby alley and gave them back to him. Pauly laughed because a bag of rolls he had among his possessions were tossed onto the ground so the birds could eat them.
Pauly also lost his sleeping bag, pictures, and phone numbers. In spite of this incident, Pauly remains in good spirits. Fortunately, with the help of the local VFW, some of the clothes have been replaced.
