Authorities have encountered a severed leg on the shoreline while attempting to find two men who disappeared white boating off the coast of Palos Verdes Estates Monday night.

The limb was recovered around 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, near the place where the men’s boat is thought to have capsized. Authorities are awaiting examination of the leg by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner in order to assess any possible connection to the boaters.

Two men are believed to have gone missing early Tuesday while fishing in choppy conditions near Palos Verdes.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department found a boat against the rocks near the 1800 block of Paseo Del Mar, but the men were not found.

The coast guard was notified that the boat was overdue Tuesday morning, shortly after 5 a.m. A search began at first light that morning, and included a helicopter and aircraft.

The search was called off around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday, owing to “no signs of distress and ''no response to UMIB(Urgent Marine Information Broadcast),' according to the coast guard.

Meteorologists reported 8- to 13-foot waves hit west facing beaches in the area Tuesday morning. The public was warned to avoid the water.

Protect your packages: Tips for Angelenos against 'porch pirates'

Package theft, often referred to as “porch piracy,” remains a significant concern in Los Angeles. The rise of e-commerce has led to a substantial increase in residential deliveries, resulting in troubling rates of stolen packages. There were nearly 2,800 reported package theft incidents in 2023. However, the real number is likely higher due to underreporting, as victims forgo filing reports due to the slim chances of recovery or arrest.  The U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) reports mail and package theft is a persistent issue. Between 2018 and 2023, Postal Inspectors arrested nearly 9,000 suspects related to mail and package theft
