Computer swiped, 9/20/10 Sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 4:10 a.m. someone reached through the conveniently open ground floor window of an apartment in Thille Hall at Saint Mary's and took an Apple MacBook computer. It had been charging on the desk next to the window when the student-owner went to bed after midnight. The victim and roommates woke up to the noise of shutters moving and a propped up guitar as it fell at just after 4:00. The charging cord was the only thing left hanging out the window.
Suspicious fire 9/20/10 Moraga cops lent a hand to assist Moraga-Orinda Fire Department on a "suspicious" fire behind a home on Camino Ricardo. A professional fire investigator classified the fire as "suspicious, likely caused by human." Kids playing with matches? Early afternoon barbeque going rouge?
Driver surrender, 9/18/10 At just after 2:00 in the afternoon a Moraga officer noticed a vehicle belonging to a subject with a suspended driver's license traveling on Viader, near Country Club Drive. Even thought the cop did not use a siren or flash lights the car mysteriously moved to the side of the roadway. The driver knew he was busted - he had a suspended license and shouldn't have been driving. The driver was cited. Only in Moraga, a polite, drama-free infraction.
Teen Dance Confrontation, 8/28/10 At 11:00 p.m. the parent of a 16-year-old girl told police that while his daughter was in the dance area of the New Rheem Theatre, an unknown male pusher her up against the wall and removed her skirt. The male threw away the skirt nearby. The victim had shorts on under the skirt. The concerned parent wanted to alert security staff that was monitoring the dance. This item was inadvertently left out of the last Moraga blotter.
