False alarm, 3/18/13 It was the house cleaning crew who set off the alarm on a Paseo Linares residence. Cops check out the crew, who happened to be waiting on the driveway, along with the exterior perimeter of the house. Actual burglars wouldn't have waited for the police to arrive, looks like they were "clean."

Somebody's watching me, 3/17/13 A woman parked near Starbucks was upset that someone was parked in front of her car and watching her. The reporting person did not know the eye-baller, but was afraid to get in her car to go home in case the watchful individual followed her. Turns out she was a 47-year-old from Danville who had been shopping at T.J. Maxx. With a police escort the reporting person was able get in her car and safely get out of the parking lot. Crisis averted.

Turkey versus window, 3/17/13 A Devin Drive homeowner called police to report that something had just shattered her front window. Upon arrival, police located a dead turkey vulture that appeared to have had an unfortunate collision with the glass. The deceased bird was not ticketed.

Noise violation, 3/16/13 A home on Wandel Drive received a noise violation for having a loud party at 11 p.m. on St. Patrick's weekend. It's unclear how much ruckus the 20 guests and music caused, but police politely suggested the neighbors would prefer the sound of silence.

Harassing the party people, 3/16/13 Chalk it up to St. Patrick's day mischief, an intoxicated subject on Ascot Drive was yelling at people through a megaphone.
