Backpack burgled, 11/17/11 A car was parked at the rear parking lot of Campolindo High School at 7:00 p.m. When the driver returned around 11:00 p.m. one of the windows was smashed and his black leather backpack was missing. Estimated loss $250.
Car window smashed at J.M., 11/17/11 A witness and the victim saw and heard a car window being smashed at 7:45 p.m. - same day as the Campo heist. There was a white male adult near the vehicle, who ran to his car and drove out of the parking lot upon being spotted. Estimated value of the smashed window was $300.
Barking dog, 11/16/11 Moraga Country Club Security called the cops after responding to a barking dog complaint on St. Andrews Drive. Turns out, the home was unlocked and the rear sliding door was ajar. The owners of the home and the dog arrived, and it was determined there was no burglary.
Branch Dispute, 11/13/11 Hopefully police were wearing bullet proof vests when they responded to a disgruntled Kimberly Court neighbor who reported that her next door neighbor had been trimming tree branches and willfully trespassed to retrieve the cut branches that had fallen onto her property. The trimmer neighbor acknowledged that he willfully retrieved the branches but disputes that he threw them over the property line. Unhappy female neighbor requested documentation of the incident.
Attempted burglary, 11/12/11 Golfers heard a house alarm sounding and observed an adult male in the bushes of an Augusta Drive home, then called police. One screen door was found off the track and another had evidence of tampering. Cops later contacted an adult male for questioning - but he was wearing different clothes than the ensemble reported by golfers. Was it the same guy? Fingerprints were not available and no pry tools were found. One the other hand, nothing was taken.
Driving bike without light, 11/08/11 An officer was parked in the usual spot on St. Mary's Road and observed a bike travelling on the wrong side of the road without a light on at 9:00 p.m. The 19-year-old cyclist pulled out an expired California Driver's License that belonged to his over 21-year-old brother. The cyclist back-pedaled and explained that he had attempted to buy alcohol in the past, but that he keeps the expired license next to the real ID and simply pulled out the wrong one. Major oops. The expired brother's ID was confiscated and the kid was cited.
