Pitching in to find victim, 1/21/13 Officers were dispatched to assist Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputies with a dead body lying on one of the hiking trails off of Ridge Crest Road near Canyon. Fire personnel confirmed the person was deceased; the cause of death did not appear to be foul play and will be determined by the coroner.
Car paint scratched, 1/21/13 A Jeep Compass was parked on Ascot Drive around 9 p.m. When the owner went out to the car three days later, he found scratches in the driver's side doors. Estimated damage about $1,100.
Abandoned car, 1/21/13 An anonymous person reported that there had been a car left unattended for the past six weeks near the intersection of Alta Mesa and Moraga Road. Cops placed a 72-hour notice on the car, no word yet if the owner finally moved it.
Beer boy, 1/21/13 Perhaps celebrating Martin Luther King Day or the school holiday, shortly after midnight, cops came upon a young person under the age of 21 holding a carton filled with beer near an apartment complex on Moraga Road - the mystery youth received a citation.
Loud party complaint, 1/21/13 Cops saw college-age subjects standing in front of the very same apartment on Moraga Road where loud music and voices could be heard. As the police approached the front door - the students ducked inside. Oddly enough, when the police knocked, no one answered, so they mailed the tenant a Town of Moraga loud party ordinance violation citation.
Halloween gear, 1/20/13 Police received a call about what appeared to be a body wrapped in duct tape with hiking boots exposed in the back of a Dodge pick-up truck on Moraga Way. Although the truck left in an unknown direction the reporting person wisely jotted down the license plate number. A check with the DMV found the vehicle registered to a home in Orinda. The homeowner told cops they are big fans of Halloween and the body had been a prop - they also have a fake casket.
