Lafayette Sucks, 9/14/10 An incredibly articulate, yet unknown party vandalized the "City of Lafayette" sign on Mt. Diablo Boulevard. The vandal added the word "sucks" to the sign. Damage was estimated at $50. We suggest that Vandal Sucks try to find a more suitable venue to air his apparent frustration - perhaps a Lafayette City Council meeting?
There it is! 9/26/10 A Brook Street resident called Police to let them know he found the bike that was stolen from his garage on August 28. There it was, locked to a bike rack at the BART station. Surely the new "owner" was a bit surprised to discover "his" bike had been stolen. The bike was not reported stolen a second time. We wonder how long the walk home was.
Not One, Not Two, but Three Cars, 10/2/10 Two Safeway employees and a McCaulou's employee discovered their cars had been broken into in the rear lot behind Safeway. The three vehicles had their windows smashed, were ransacked and items were stolen. There are no suspects but a surveillance video is being reviewed. Total damage and loss to all vehicles is estimated at nearly $1,000.
El Charro Gets Exciting in a Bad Way, 10/5/10 After a verbal altercation with a Lafayette man in the El Charro parking lot, a Lodi man pulled a gun out of the center console of his pickup truck before driving away. The Lodi resident was apprehended in Happy Valley near the intersection of El Nido and Upper Happy Valley Road. A 38 special was discovered in his truck, the truck was towed and the man was transported to the Martinez Detention Facility for booking. A message to the gun wielder - "Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more."
