Ransacked home, 3/30/14 Residents of a Calle La Mesa home were out of town for a week; upon their return, they found their house had been completely ransacked and reported jewelry, electronics and a vehicle stolen. A horrible welcome home from spring break.
Loud party, 3/30/14 A recurrent theme in the police blotter, yes - it's true, college-age kids drinking, loud music and yelling on Ascot Drive. Officers contacted the resident of the apartment and saw approximately 40 people inside with alcohol present. "The partygoers were dispersed without incident and the resident was issued a Municipal Code Warning Notice," said the no-nonsense police report.
Car accident, 3/29/14 A teenaged driver of a VW Passat was chatting on her cell phone and didn't notice a car in front of her had stopped at a posted stop sign on Camino Pablo, so she rear-ended him causing minor damage to his Nissan Pathfinder, but major damage to the VW, which was towed from the scene. Minor head bump on the steering wheel of the young lady, but she was examined by MOFD and released. Looks like someone will be losing her phone privileges.

D.U.I. 3/28/14 Just shy of 1 a.m. cops pulled over a Honda Pilot on Woodford Drive, after observing the car brake unnecessarily multiple times and drive on the wrong side of the road.
