Water Balloon Strikes in Bird Rock

Two individuals have reported being hit by water balloons thrown by youths from vehicles while on the 4800-5200 blocks of La Jolla Boulevard.

A renter living in the 5100 block claimed to have been hit while returning from Albertsons on his bicycle; he said the softball-size water balloons were thrown by teenage boys in a late-model silver Mercedes.

Also, a security guard working the night shift at a nearby apartment complex said he was hit recently by water balloons.

A local homeowner said the amount of noise, traffic, and general craziness has tripled since MTV began taping their Real World program on a nearby street.
