Driving with Coors, 10/16/10 Cops pulled over a VW Jetta on Rheem Boulevard for speeding. The 19-year-old driver had an open bottle of Coors beer in the cup holder in the center console. Six additional passengers were crammed into the car, along with three more Coors: two students on the front seat and a young lady lying across the laps of three gentlemen in the backseat. The driver was issued citations for open container of alcohol, allowing passengers to ride without seat belts, minor in possession of alcohol, and driving while slightly impaired - she had a blood alcohol level of .068.
Ripping off Grandma, 10/15/10 An 83-year-old Paseo Grande woman was the victim of a phone scam. She received a call from a person purporting to be her grandson saying he was in jail in Canada and needed her to send $995 via Western Union to get him out of jail. The elderly woman sent the money but realized the next day that her actual grandson was at home with his parents and was never in Canada. Sender beware.
Burglary, 10/17/10 A Claudia Court resident left home at 8:45 in the morning and returned at 12:15. He noticed upon his return that the garage door and interior door to the house was open. An unknown suspect took several pieces of jewelry and other items from the home. A cautionary tale for those who think burglars only strike at night.
Wallet found, 10/19/10 A Moraga citizen turned in a wallet found on the street at approximately 6:00 p.m. It contained a non-local California driver's license and money. Because the owner couldn't be immediately found it was booked into the property room and a letter was sent to the owner.
