    If these crooks took Bart in, I wonder if they paid their fare? There seems to be a correlation between people that do bad things on or around Bart and the coincidence of just jumping the faregate.

    Broken record, I know. But can we repeal Prop 47 already?

      I hope not.

      Maybe a new law with some sort of in-between. All of these crimes are upsetting so maybe a felony but without jail time? vs. just a misdemeanor. Or maybe a misdemeanor but heavy fines + community service + house arrest + another form of punishment. I don’t have the answers and for every point there is a counter point but we need some new methods to make these criminals second guess their actions. I’m just glad these three were caught.

      So .. risky to get gas in the afternoon, or go to the ATM on Sundays in Lamorinda. I hate looking over my shoulder all the time! Appreciate LPD’s quick and successful response.
