Tire slasher, 8/15/11 Sometime between 8:00 a.m. and noon an unknown person slashed both front and rear passenger tires of an Ivy Drive resident's car while the car was parked on the street in front of the house. Estimate to replace both tires, approximately $300.
Stolen cell tower, 8/16/11 Not one, but three mobile cell towers were stolen from St. Mary's College. Aren't cell towers ridiculously tall and heavy you ask? Actually these three were relatively petite, Erickson CDU 1900 Frequency Modules from a, I kid you not, "cell on wheels" trailer on the campus. Estimated loss $30,000. AT&T security is investigating the theft.
Found cash returned, 8/19/11 An unidentified female approached a Moraga police officer to report that she had found a twenty dollar bill at an ATM on Moraga Way. She told the cop that it didn't belong to her and wished to turn it in. Mystery woman has racked up some seriously good karma.
D.U. I. 8/19/11 A white VW Rabbit was pulled over at Moraga Road and Sky Hy for speeding. Shockingly the 17-year old male driver from Orinda had the distinct odor of alcoholic beverages on his person - Eau de Booze. He eventually submitted to a field sobriety test where he had a blood alcohol content of .114, over the limit for a kid under 21. The lad was transported to Moraga Police Department and his mom was called. Mother refused to pick up her son, and the cops weren't able to contact the subject's father. So he was taken to county lock-up in Martinez to be "medically cleared" - apparently that means "sober up" - then taken to Juvenile Hall.
Car theft, 8/19/11 Not the car, but the stuff inside. Sometime during the night a Claudia Court resident's unlocked car that was parked in the driveway was broken into. A first aid kit, iPod and a lot of power tools disappeared. The victim estimated the value to be approximately $4,205. No suspects or witnesses.
Egg toss, 8/22/11 The son of an Ascot Drive resident parked his Nissan 300 ZX at the curb in front of the residence at approximately 9:00 p.m. The next morning at 9:30 a.m. the mom discovered someone had tossed about a dozen raw eggs at the vehicle - which appeared to have damaged the paint. No ideas as to reasoning behind the egg scramble.
