Moraga Police Blotter
Receiving stolen property, 3/26/12 A smart phone owner lost, or had stolen, her phone while attending an event in Danville on Saturday, 3/24. Just a couple days later she was able to use the phone's tracking system that led her to Moraga - where the phone was inside of a car parked in a lot on Moraga Road. She confronted the new phone owner who returned it, but explained he purchased the phone for $200 at the Concord Flea Market.

Open front door, 3/26/12 Moraga cops noticed the front door of a home on Paseo Grande open and were unable to find a homeowner. There was no obvious damage to indicate a break-in. A peak inside revealed nothing suspicious, so they closed the door and left.

Tree vandalism? 3/24/12 A Rheem Boulevard resident told police he suspected his neighbor removed branches from a Town of Moraga-owned palm tree located near his home over the weekend. The reporting person was concerned that the tree may have been damaged and that branches and leaves would block the storm drain when it rains. Someone from the Town's Public Services department came out to examine the tree and said it was fine.

Same neighbor, 3/26/12 Oddly enough, just a couple of days after the reported tree damage, a Rheem Boulevard homeowner said he had received several e-mails from the neighbor about their disagreement. Reporting person felt the e-mails were threatening and asked police to investigate. Police took a look at the e-mails and found no threats or other criminal actions.

Bike missing, 3/22/12 A black and red Trek bicycle was reported missing from a Rimer Drive home. The bike was last seen in the garage, but it's a mystery as to its disappearance. Owner claims his side door to the garage is locked and alarmed and the main garage door is always closed. Bike is valued at $1600. Police will continue to investigate.

Party's over, Cinderella, 3/21/12 At just before midnight an officer stopped by a home on Miramonte Drive to crash a loud party. Officers could hear the noise from 150 feet away from the residence. Party host received an official warning citing the Moraga Municipal Code for Persons Responsible for a Loud or Unruly Party.
