Bicycle fairy? 11/28/12 A resident of Chalda Way found a bike abandoned on the driveway of her complex. Cops took possession of the bike to prevent it from being stolen, no details on the particulars of this bicycle, but if you're missing one, call Moraga P.D.

D.U.I, 11/24/12 What were you thinking? A driver failed to yield while making a right turn onto Moraga Road and in doing so cut off a Moraga police officer on patrol.

Another D.U.I., 11/24/12 Cops pulled over a white BMW at 1:50 a.m. on Corliss near Crossbrook due to a burnt out rear license plate light. The driver looked less than sober with red, watery eyes, slurred speech and smelled like booze. This person also took field sobriety tests and flunked. He signed a promise to appear notice and was later released to his sister.
Happy ending, 11/23/12 Someone found a cell phone on top of Mulholland Ridge, the location of a popular hiking trail and off-leash dog area.
