(Edit)Lot of police cars zipping around
Don’t get caught – you don’t want to be in the slam over the Holidays.
That’s going to get you taken off a Santa’s list. He knows when you’ve been naughty or nice.
Sounds like we should dispatch the police to follow any car with paper plates entering Orinda that is not a new car…..
Everyone just jokes here and takes this all lightly while these punks are invading our homes.
People need to call the police right away and not think “It will be OK”. It won’t be.
People need to start writing and calling our elected officials – especially the liberal Democratic ones- and demand tightening of laws in California that will start locking up and punishing these criminals again. The current ‘ no one goes to jail anymore’ policy is definitely not working.
Why should the hard-working, responsible citizens have to suffer instead?
