To Fly or Not to Fly, 11/25/10 A couple parked their car - full of packed luggage - on Sierra Vista Way and went inside for the night. When they approached their car to drive to the airport the next morning, they discovered the left rear window had been smashed and their luggage was missing. The stolen belongings were valued at $350 and damage to the car was estimated at $400. Tough way to be spared the long baggage check lines created by the Thanksgiving holiday.
Just When You Thought it was Safe, 11/25/10 A Lafayette Circle resident locked his bike to his rear balcony and turned in for the night. Guess what happened? That's right - it was missing the next morning! A stealthy bicycle thief cut the lock and presumably sped into the night on the $400 Marin Hawk mountain bike.
Another Missing Bicycle, 11/26/10 A Sibert Court resident regrettably left his garage door open, enabling a thieving bicycle enthusiast to make off with his $3,000 bicycle. You read it correctly - $3,000 - for a bicycle...ouch! There are no suspects or witnesses.
Bank Robbery, 11/26/10 Lafayette Police responded to an alarm from Citibank on Mt. Diablo Boulevard and arrived to discover a robbery had taken place. The teller told police the suspect appeared to fill out a deposit slip and then approached her window, opened his wallet and presented a "demand" note. Although Citibank tellers have "bandit barriers," she wisely gave the suspect the cash from her drawer since customers were in the bank at the time. The unknown suspect left on foot.
