Ornery teens, 9/17/13 A frustrated Walford Drive mom called the cops because her teenage boys were refusing to go to school. When an officer arrived, the older boy had gone to school but his 13-year-old brother refused to get out of bed. Apparently the police person did the trick, the young man was advised to get out of bed and go to school, and he complied.
Graffiti at the skate park, 9/17/13 A Moraga public works employee alerted cops that there had been a semi-rural non-approved art project at some point during the night in the skate bowl and surrounding area. No witnesses or leads at this time, also no word on the language or style of the unauthorized "art work." Total cost to remove the graffiti is estimated at $500. There must be a cheaper way to express one's creativity.
Car window smashed, 9/16/13 The rear driver's side window of a white Ford Focus was smashed at the small parking lot near the Common's Park on St. Mary's Road. The owners were surprised at the damage, since they had just left it there less than an hour before. Nothing appeared to have been taken from the vehicle.
Embezzlement, 4/01/12 A Moraga business owner wished to report the theft by embezzlement of consumable goods by a previous employee. The owner stated that over a 6-month timeframe, from April to October of 2012, the employee is suspected to have stolen approximately $16,000 in food and alcohol. The owner had no explanation about the delay in reporting the thefts.
Mature D.U.I. 9/15/13 Call it not-so-happy hour, at 7:20 p.m. police contacted a 44-year-old woman from Lafayette after a citizen reported that the subject's driving behavior was erratic. A cop tailed her driving through the Rheem Shopping Center prior to making contact. Her breath and inability to maintain balance were additional red flags. Not surprisingly, she submitted to field sobriety tests that showed a blood alcohol content of 0.20.
Doorbell ditch, 9/13/13 Police responded to a Fernwood Drive home on a report of an unknown subject ringing the doorbell at midnight. An investigation revealed that kids in the area were playing doorbell ditch; the rapscallions were located and returned to their host's home to continue their sleepover. No arrests were made.
