Quick Heist, 10/7/10 Burglars wasted no time when they invaded a Springbrook Road residence. The owners were gone for only one hour and returned to a ransacked home. The owner believes she may have left the rear sliding door unlocked because the door was wide open upon her return...uh oh... Missing property is valued at $15,000.
A Skull in the Garden, 10/11/10 The owner of a Lafayette Circle apartment building experienced a bit of creepy Halloween foreshadowing while planting flowers in the garden. She was surprised to dig up what appeared to be a piece of a human skull. The owner knew the area is known to have Indian burial sites so called police to determine whether she was digging in an historical site or had happened upon part of a missing person. The item was sent to the coroner since he is more accustomed to holding the skull of another in the palm of his hand.
Desperate Pottery Collector, 10/13/10 An unknown man entered Color Me Mine on Mt. Diablo Boulevard and purchased a number of items with what turned out to be a counterfeit $200 money order. The thief made away with a few collectables and change from the balance of the money order. It is unknown if he grabbed the tip jar on his way out.
Downtown Chase, 10/16/10 Two knuckleheads from San Francisco led police on a high-speed chase through downtown Lafayette. The pair was intercepted on Camino Diablo at El Curtola and offered a lift to the Martinez Detention Facility. Perhaps they were confused by our balmy weather; San Francisco and jail are much colder than Lamorinda, so they should feel right at home.
