Ouch! 1/17/2012 Police think an 88 year old man may have mistaken his car's gas pedal for the brakes when attempting to park along Mt. Diablo Blvd. His car struck the plate glass window of a business.
And more ouch! 1/10/2012 An 89 year old man drove his car over several curb lines, struck a retaining wall, two street signs and a fire hydrant before colliding with a fence. The driver was unhurt; the wall, signs, hydrant and fence were a little worse for wear.
Hello...Goodbye, 1/17/2012 If there's one thing worse than having your car burgled, its having the burglar run right by and taunt you. A woman said she heard a loud smash, followed by the presumed burglar running by with a "see ya later!" comment. Her wallet was gone - cash and checks in the amount of $1400 total were missing. Damage to car window: $200. Hearing that cheeky comment: priceless.
Out past curfew, 1/17/2012 A mother filed a missing persons report when her child was not home by 8pm. The missing "child" was 38 years old, and showed up at the house just before midnight. Once a mom...always a mom.
