Car stolen, 10/11/14 Sometime during the night a black Honda Accord was taken from an Ascot Drive residence. No suspects or leads at this time. Apparently older model Honda sedans, Accords and Civics, are among the most popular vehicles with car thieves, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Truancy, 10/12/14 Just didn't feel like attending Campo that day. A 17-year-old female student was located around 10 a.m. near the corner of Moraga Road and Rheem Boulevard. Police picked her up and deposited her at school without incident. She was not arrested.

Another stolen vehicle, 10/22/14 A brand new Dodge Ram 1500 was parked and locked in a Whiting Court driveway when it was stolen at some point during the night. All of the keys were accounted for and no one else had permission to drive it. No suspects or witnesses at this time.

Early riser bike thief, 10/23/14 Sometime between 7:15 and 8 a.m. an unknown suspect removed a Cannondale road bike from inside an unlocked Dodge Grand Caravan parked on Calle La Montana. No suspicious people were noticed around the time of the theft.

Elder abuse, 10/20/14 Police responded to a report of a daughter beating her mother on the front lawn of their home. The daughter was seen kicking and dragging her mom inside their house. Police located the younger woman hiding in the backyard. The mom sustained multiple injuries and was taken to the hospital by the fire department. The daughter was taken to the Martinez jail and booked for battery and elder abuse.

Identity theft, 10/22/14 A Hodges Drive resident came to the Moraga Police Department office to report that she received a phone call from a credit agency who reported an overdue bill for AT&T phone service. The gal said she had not applied for the phone service that was now delinquent. She then contacted her bank who said they would reimburse her account for any funds that had been used by the stolen identity account. Kudos to the mystery unnamed bank.
