Lafayette Police Blotter
No Fare!11/20/11 Four people got into a cab and enjoyed a $100 ride. They left the cab without paying. The cabbie, understandably miffed, called police. One of the riders, after being contacted by police, was gently persuaded to foot the bill. Wonder if the other three will offer him/her a reimbursement?

Into the Woods, 11/23/11 A vehicle reportedly traveled into a wooded area along Happy Valley. Numerous car parts were strewn along the roadway but the driver was nowhere to be found. An alien abduction, perhaps?

Bag this Scene, 11/26/11 A man entered a business on Moraga Road, put his hands into a paper bag and pointed the bag (hands and all) at the victim's face, saying "I saw this in a movie once." No threats were made, no demands were met...and the stranger with a dubious acting career left in an unknown gray or silver sedan. We are not making this up.

No Corralling this Mustang,11/26/11 A 1999 Mustang parked and locked in the victim's driveway at noon had vanished by 10:30 that same night. First, strewn car parts and a missing driver; now whole cars are being abducted...
