The drywaller bandit's bank hits were all in Pasadena, Oceanside, and Encinitas. The Pasadena heists were within 2 miles of his home. In addition to his Pasadena roots, Oskam and his parents are listed with residences on Mandarin Drive and Los Arbolitos in Oceanside. The Oceanside bank hits were within 1.5 to 3 miles of the Mandarin house. So Oskam appears to hit banks close to home, possibly so he can escape on foot or bicycle. That way nobody could spot a license plate on a getaway car.
Which leaves Encinitas. John Oskam has no apparent residential history near the El Camino corridor where he hit so many banks. But there is a Jacobus Oskam listed on Calle Violetas, near the intersection of Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real. Jacobus Oskam is the right age to be Leendert's brother, or John's uncle. My bet is that John Oskam was running to Uncle Jacobus' house when he was arrested yesterday morning.
UPDATE: Jim the Realtor has loan info on the two houses. He had plenty of equity!
A home seller who would rather rob banks, than lower his price!
Interesting find. I wonder if you're right.
ReplyDeleteShould have worn Nike's get-outta-town model shoes. Doesn't help to rob a bank right next door to the Sheriff's substation. He doesn't have to worry about selling the Pasadena house now - some lawyer will soon own it.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly on subject, but speaking of "crooks"; whatever happened to the Bonnie Dumanis investigation of Dan Dalager's 'gifts' that were associated with his council votes? She should render her opinion, as she promised and not just let it drop. Regardless of the outcome, she needs to finish this saga. If she does not, it just proves that 'charges' are just an opinion and selectively rendered at the whim of this arrogant elected official. She is incompetent and shows gross favoritism by not treating all cases equally.
ReplyDeletehis parents are deceased. does he own the house is oceanside?
ReplyDeleteYes, he owns the one on Mandarin.
ReplyDeleteGuy appears to have inherited a million bucks in real estate (mid-$600s Pasadena and mid-$300s O'side) and still had to resort to bank robbery. Presumably he sucked out a lot of equity befor he got to this point.
Maybe he can buy a designer jump-suit when he goes to the slammer?
ReplyDelete''Maybe he can buy a designer jump-suit when he goes to the slammer?''
ReplyDeleteReally how do you think his family is taking this do you think they just dumped him on the curb and kicked him out of their lives? What would you do if that was one of your lover ones going to prison?
