Speeding with vomiting teenager, 8/20/12 A sober 16-year-old driver was chauffeuring his 16-year-old pal who was in no condition to drive. The young man had attended an end-of-the-summer party and apparently drank too much. Vomiting in a car is not illegal, but going 53 m.p.h in a 35 m.p.h zone is. Like following a trail of breadcrumbs, police were able to locate the fiesta after finding juveniles walking in the neighborhood and beer cans in the front yard of a home on Corte Maria. Cops came upon a youth parked in a driveway and wanted to chat; the genius 16-year-old fled on foot, but left his driver's license and car keys in the vehicle.
Identity theft, 8/11/12 An unknown suspect was able to obtain a duplicate Capital One credit card with the same information as a Shuey Drive resident. Allegedly $15,000 was charged to the account - fortunately all of that will be reimbursed. The folks at Capital One have assigned an investigator to the case.
More credit card theft, 8/17/12 Same street, different card. A Chase debit card was taken from a Shuey Drive home - that same day, the thief spent $354 for Comcast services. The reporting person is seeking prosecution.
Phantom charger, 8/16/12 A Wandel Drive resident reported to police that between $3,000 and $4,000 had been charged to her Nordstrom account in July from the Valley Fair Nordstrom in Santa Clara. The department store agreed to forgive the charges.
False alarm, 8/17/12 The security alarm at Orchard Supply Hardware was triggered via an interior nursery motion sensor at almost 11 p.m. Police checked the perimeter and found everything to be fine and dandy. Plants walking around?
