Cranky Client, 7/21/14 An 87-year-old man at Aegis of Moraga was causing a disturbance with staff at the assisted care facility. Apparently the gentleman wasn't happy with his meal the previous evening and had argued with staff. No physical altercation occurred, the fellow calmed down and agreed to stay in his room for the remainder of the afternoon. No details on any particular foodstuff offender in the police report. Kale? Liver? Jello?
Elder fraud, 7/14/14 An 82-year-old Camino Ricardo resident told police she received a phone call from an unknown person who she believed was an acquaintance. The caller said he was involved in a traffic accident in Florida and asked for money to help him out. The senior citizen sent a total of $9,500. She contacted the actual acquaintance a bit later - turns out he had not been in an accident, or in Florida, recently. The case is under investigation.
Dump truck theft, 7/20/14 Sometime during the night an unknown person removed a white 2005 International dump truck without permission while the vehicle was parked on Moraga Way near School Street. Perhaps the thief is unaware of the lousy gas mileage of such a bruiser.
Found wallet, 7/19/14 A good citizen drove to the Moraga police department to drop off a men's brown leather wallet she had found near her residence. The finder wasn't able to locate the loser. Cops mailed a notice to the wallet owner informing him that it had been found. The wallet was placed into evidence for safekeeping.
Car versus utility pole, 7/16/14 Around 10 p.m. cops received a report of a collision on Canyon Road near the Valle Vista Staging area. The 16-year-old driver, who was uninjured, swerved to avoid hitting a deer and instead hit a utility pole. Her parents were already at the scene when police arrived. Alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the accident; blame the deer. Replacement of the "telecommunications" (actual lingo in police report) forced the closure of the roadway until roughly 6:30 a.m. The car was towed from the scene, per the owner's request, presumably mom or dad.
Drunk woman, 7/15/14 Cops responded to a 911 call from a woman at 2:30 a.m. who claimed she was being held hostage at an unknown address. Police tracked down the phone to Miramonte Gardens. Turns out the woman was with a lady friend and was extremely intoxicated and had possibly ingested prescription medications. She was taken to John Muir Hospital by MOFD.
