Not lucky on Las Vegas, 3/25/11 Las Vegas Road, that is. The rear slider of a home was pried open for burglar(s) to gain access and the electricity to the rear of the home was shut off at the main fuse box. Perhaps in case the door was hooked up to an alarm system? The elderly female victim was unable to take an inventory of missing items due to a medical condition.

Tools taken, 3/25/11 Directly across the street, at a home also on Las Vegas Road, approximately $1,000 worth of tools were taken. Police happened to be at the neighbor's home noted above and came to check to see if anyone had seen or heard anything unusual when they found the door open. The home was ransacked and there was damage to the sliding door.

Plate problems, 3/25/11 A car was pulled over on southbound Camino Pablo at Highway 24 for not having a front license plate and having the rear plate of a different car. The driver admitted to placing the plate on the vehicle, saying he recently bought it, but surprisingly he didn't have a bill of sale with him and he was driving on a suspended license.
