Moraga Police Blotter

Fire 5/17/16: An investigation into a vehicle and structure fire at North Sandringham Drive found that the 20-year-old resident, who was not allowed to smoke in the house, was smoking a cigarette in his parked vehicle under the carport. The subject fell asleep while smoking and was later awakened to his car on fire. Luckily he escaped without injury. Cops evacuated two adults and a dog from the house without injury. The fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. The car was toast and there was substantial damage to the carport and garage. Time of the incident was 4:08 a.m. which may have contributed to the incident.

Fraud 5/16/16: A Thorndale Place couple came to the lobby of the Police Department to report a fraudulent joint tax return. They had already reported the incident to the IRS and it was being investigated. The couple also filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, but in order to complete the FTC claim, they needed to obtain a case number from police. No mention of monetary loss in the police report.

Harassing phone call 5/16/16: A Sanders Ranch Road resident stated he received a voicemail from a subject whose son plays on the same youth baseball team as his son. The caller alleged in his message that the reporting person was "messing" with his kid's playing time at practice. The dad called back and was concerned that the voicemail guy stated he would "bust up" the Sanders Ranch fellow if he messed with the subject or the subject's family. The harass-ee just wanted documentation in case of further issues. Apparently adult bullying is not considered good sportsmanship.

Found bike 5/16/16: A Crossbrook Drive resident reported she noticed a bike hidden in the bushes between two of her neighbors' front yards. Cops checked the serial number of the bike and it wasn't listed in the state stolen property database. If you're missing a bike - it's being held at the Moraga Police Department.

Equipment collision 5/15/16: At the corner of Spyglass Lane and Augusta Drive a Bobcat of the construction variety lost the use of its steering and brakes after its engine seized. The Bobcat rolled approximately 110 feet down a steep hill and collided with the back of an asphalt grinder. The driver was lucky, only receiving a minor cut on his leg. He was examined by Moraga Orinda Fire District paramedics but declined to be transported to a hospital. Do Bobcats have seatbelts?

Drunk kids 5/14/16: A group of juveniles was hanging out at a local fast food establishment at about 9:30 p.m. when officers came by and found one of the kids extremely intoxicated and unable to care for himself. Paramedics were summoned. The youth was eventually released to his mother at the scene.
