Moraga Police Blotter
Maybe it was a skunk? 8/18/13 An anonymous caller reported the odor of marijuana coming from a nearby residence on Miramonte Drive at about 10 p.m. Upon arrival at the location, cops did not detect any untoward smells.

Toilet papered front yard, 8/18/13 A police officer responded to a Donald Drive residence on a report of a group of juveniles that tee-peed a house at 1 a.m. Upon arrival, officers confirmed that the house was indeed tee-peed. No suspects at this time.

Loud party, 8/18/13 Police were dispatched to a Country Club Drive residence at 2:30 a.m. to check on a report of a loud party and music. The resident was advised of the town's noise ordinance and was issued a warning notice. Party people stated they were staying the night and not going to drive home.

Vandalism, 8/17/13 A Wandel Drive couple was out of their home for a period of time; when they returned they found their rear exterior garage door forced open, causing damage to the door frame. A variety of items were moved around in the house and back yard - but nothing was missing. The unknown suspect neglected to wipe his or her feet - leaving a single set of shoe prints on the property. No suspects or leads at this time.

Suspicious circumstances, 8/15/13 A suspicious subject was in the back yard of a house on School Street; he ran away after being spotted. The unknown subject was last seen running westbound on Moraga Way. He must have been quick or perhaps had an invisibility cloak in his back pocket, because Moraga police conducted an extensive search but weren't able to find him.

Grand theft, 8/15/13 A Donald Drive resident let a new friend stay at her house while she went to get pizza. When she returned home, her "friend" was gone and he had taken over $3,000 worth of her stuff. She tried to reach him on the phone - to no avail, and unfortunately didn't know where he lived or his last name. That was one expensive pizza.
