Counterfeit money order, 3/07/12 Staff at Mycra Pac Design Wear in the Rheem Shopping Center reported a customer paid for merchandise with a $500 money order back in February. Recently the staff was informed by their bank that the money order was counterfeit. Cops are investigating the incident, but my guess is a fabulous raincoat or two are long gone.
SMC Burglary, 3/06/12 An acquaintance of a St. Mary's College student may have taken his room key while his pal was in the shower. Later, reporting person noticed that his laptop was missing from his locked dorm room. The alleged suspect 'fessed up to taking the key and the laptop and was taken to Martinez Detention Facility for booking. The fellow may have been smart enough to get into college, but that was just plain stupid.
Bike stolen, 3/05/12 An Ascot Drive townhouse owner had a $400 mountain bike secured with a combination lock in a rarely used storage shed in the complex. Although she hadn't been to check on it since January, when she recently visited, the lock was gone and so was the bike.
Dude, where's my car? 3/03/12 Cops responded to a report of an auto theft at St. Mary's College. Making a wise decision, the driver of the car got a ride home with friends because he had too much to drink. Car owner returned to pick up his vehicle and it wasn't where he remembered parking it, but added that he had three beers. After officers had left the scene, the reporting person found the car not in the baseball lot where he had left it - but in a lot near the rugby field. Turns out one of his friends snagged the keys and moved the car as a joke. The reporting person stated that he may have moved the car himself without remembering.
Pot at school, 3/2/12 An Associate Principal reported that four Campolindo students were collectively in possession of marijuana, a grinder and a bong. The pot and paraphernalia were destroyed at the school and the incident was handled in-house with a five day suspension. Students' parents were notified.
Short term runaway, 2/29/12 Cops were dispatched to Rheem Elementary School for a report of a 16-year-old runaway and met with his mother. She said her son walked away after they had argued. Police located the youth near the school and he agreed to go home with his mom without further incident.
