Just 100 yards from the Pacific Ocean, rows and rows of former waterfront mobile homes have been reduced to rubble in the Pacific Palisades. Much of the surrounding hillsides dotted with multimillion-dollar mansions look like scorched earth after the Palisades Fire consumed everything in its path.
“Mars would be more habitable than this place right now so it’s crazy. There’s absolutely nothing,” Shaun, a resident of the Palisades Bowl community, told ABC News.

Shaun, who asked that ABC News only use his first name for privacy, came to assess the damage at his home and make sure no looters were prowling around his property. His home was burned to the ground and he wanted to check if his treasured memorabilia survived the flames.
“First thing we had some paperwork, we really didn’t have much other than that. I mean, the memorabilia is what I’m going for. My mom has a Cal Berkeley stein that’s ceramic and maybe it survived the fire,” he said, bursting into tears. “This is really hard. I mean people lost everything.”
When discussing the conerns about looting, Shaun said, “We are the easiest to access.”

“We may not be the $10 million homes up there but the bike path ends here. We’ve heard there’s people on e-bikes coming up here. Nobody stopped us from getting up here and they’re going through people’s property,” he said.
