Grand Theft Bicycle, 10/5/11 An Orinda resident is out $1900 because in a one hour window, thieves stole two custom bikes from the inside of an unlocked garage. They simply walked the bikes out, popped them in the back of a gray vehicle, and drove off into the sunset.
Hi, Ho, Silver Mercedes! 9/29/11 At half past midnight a half-snockered 67 year old woman drove her silver Mercedes Benz into and then off a residential driveway looking for her boyfriend. Police observed she was under the influence; administered a field sobriety test. Noting results, they carted her off to Martinez Detention Facility. The car was a customer of Orinda Tow.
Bold and (possibly) Armed, 9/29/11 A victim reported that a man and a woman drove up her driveway and stole her purse from the car's hood at noon, where she'd placed it. The man also nabbed a duffel bag containing an I-pad from inside the car. She thinks the male thief then pointed a gun at her as they drove away. Monetary damages were reported at over $1200.
Stalling for Time, 9/26/11 A woman, drunk in public, locked herself into the Orinda Safeway restroom. She may have been trying to beat the rap, because she already was on probation for an earlier drunk in public arrest.
