Attempted car theft thwarted, 11/28/11 In the middle of the afternoon at Moraga Commons Park, the owner of a truck witnessed someone attempt to take his vehicle. He was able to reach the truck as it was pulling away from the curb and jumped into the bed as the truck drove north on Moraga Road. The owner was yelling at the would-be thief, after a short distance, the thief pulled over and fled to a passenger car that was tailing the stolen car. A search of the area ensued, but the thief and his/her accomplice were gone.
D.U.I. 11/26/11 A middle aged man who should have known better was doing double the speed limit late at night on Camino Ricardo, driving on the wrong side of the road, and failing to use his turn signal. Police were not surprised to notice objective signs of alcohol on the 46-year-old male. He flunked the breathalyzer test, was cited and later was released to a friend.
Fishing for door prank, 11/26/11 Sullivan Drive residents came home after they were out for the evening and found a long piece of fishing line had been attached to their front door knocker. The homeowners wanted to have documentation of the incident in case the vandals strike again.
Coffee with your donut? 11/25/11 School was not in session on a recent Friday night around 11:00 p.m. when a driver had lost control of his car after doing donuts and crashed into a chain link fence by the baseball field. Police report notes "moderate damage" to both the car and the fence. The driver was later arrested for D.U. I. Methinks there will soon be moderate to severe damage to the future cost of his car insurance.
Drinking at Rheem School, 1/23/11 Two cars, two juveniles and one semi-mature 18-year-old adult were parked at the Rheem School on Laird Drive with a case of beer in the back seat of one of the cars around 10:00 p.m. Cops spied the young men and figured they were not doing their homework. Everyone was released at the scene to their parents. Beer was photographed, then disposed.
