Ungrateful party guests, 2/20/11 Never mind the escalating cost of dips and chips; one local mother discovered she was out $1,000 cash and $160 in gift cards after her son hosted a party in their home. She probably knows who you are, so 'fess up and shame on you.
Burglars alarmed, 2/22/11 When someone kicked in the wood and glass front door of a local residence, it set off the alarm that panicked the burglar(s). They beat a hasty retreat, scattering baskets, mail and personal effects. Unfortunately, that initial contact with the house did $1,000 in damage.
Double-duty daylight raids, 2/22/11 A discriminating thief staged a mid-morning raid at a Los Arabis Drive home, coming away with antique silver and jewelry worth $8,500. The homeowner suffered an additional $500 damages to the home during the break-in. Another daylight burglary on the same day netted the thief $8,000- $10,000 in stolen goods and will cost the homeowner an additional $2,500 in repairs and damage.
No parking zone, 2/20/11 A Lafayette resident rightfully complained to police when her car was stolen from the very spot her apartment complex assigned her to park. There were no witnesses and are no suspects.
A good car is hard to find, 2/26/11 One Driftwood neighbor noticed a wallet (not his) tossed underneath his truck. The wallet was stolen from a nearby car. It was returned to the owner, who canceled service on her missing credit card. At least one other neighbor's car was rifled by the same thief. It seems some days you just can't find good stuff in other people's cars.
