Blows Exchanged During Interrupted Petty Theft In Moraga Saturday
An iPhone owner tussled briefly with a petty thief over their iPhone Saturday, eventually losing the struggle but landing a counterpunch after the thief threw one of his own.
The short but sharp battle took place behind the 500 block of Center Street at about 5:30 p.m. when the phone’s owner startled two men in hoodies attempting to take the device, losing the phone but gaining the would-be thief’s shoe – lost during the struggle. The victim apparently also landed a blow on the thief’s car – described as a newer model, silver Honda Accord.
Information remained thin, though the suspects were described as white males in their 40s or 50s. We’ll have more on this incident should additional details become available.
Moraga police issued an advisory citing the incident on Sunday, acknowledging an increase in the number of car burglaries and thefts from unlocked vehicles. Two vehicles have also been stolen locally, according to police.

Hmmm, what was I saying earlier in the week about Moraga facing big city problems. Time to get a contract with the Sheriff. 108RS
Honda? Probably stolen.

Tweakasaurus-Meth. Invasive species.
Grow up.
Curse you Hoodies!! and the Pinto you rode in on!
White middle-aged men in hoodies stealing IPhones, IPhones, one at a time. The Horror! The Horror! Clearly a crime wave.
“when the phone’s owner startled two men in hoodies attempting to take the device”
So the phone was left in a vehicle?
Looks like the hoodie set has discovered Moraga.
(Edit)We need to bad hoodies, clearly.
Hmmm, wonder if Moraga PD wants to take me on as a reserve? I’ll clean up the town. 108RS
Oh, by all means, feel free to inquire. First, tell them you don’t think them up to the task, and you recommend a “Firestone methodology” for Moraga. LOL
Go for it , Jeff. Honest people need your help
Yeah, Hell yeah! Get those 2 middle-aged iPhone banditos. “Clean up the town”!
I don’t think Moraga could handle the lawsuits.
Bwahahahaha, that was the best one yet. True, I would try to take the city council members to jail first. 108RS
Jan 24: “And Moraga needs to get rid of their PD and contract with the Sheriff. The sleepy little village has big city problems coming and it’s six officers are not prepared or trained for it. 108RS”
@Jeff – Sounds like you miss law enforcement; just not enough to hold down an actual job.
Remind us, why did you retire from LACSD again?
I moved to the Bay Area and joined another law enforcement organization. 108RS
Ah, pension spiking!
You’re welcome.
With Love,
The Taxpayers
Campo,
Yeah, a big pension, ZERO. I patrolled the streets for $1 a year, well, I did get paid $350 to work the Rose Parade. 108RS
Quick someone get the thieves catalytic converter!
