Put the Lime in the Coconut and Tequila in Your Pants...7/27/11 An Orinda Safeway "customer" walked out of the store with a bottle of tequila in his waistband. A sharp-eyed clerk followed him out and confronted him. The "customer" said he was with the store's loss prevention team. Yeah, right. The clerk placed him under citizen's arrest until the police arrived. Turns out he has prior petty theft convictions, and was booked into Martinez Detention Facility.
Blades Away, 8/4/11 Someone smashed a car's window and took a computer notebook, a hatchet and...wait for it...a Samurai sword. Unusual stolen items valued over $2500, and the broken window will set the owner back another $300.
Not so Neighborly, 7/25/11 Two neighbors in a long-standing property dispute reportedly had words. The report is that the man confronted the women along a shared driveway, called her a not-so-nice word and followed her into the garage. When she locked herself into her own car for protection, he followed her in and slammed his fist on the car, causing $7,000 worth of damage. Next day the man called police and denied the garage incident.
