April 20, 2005 Repeated Suspicious Driver Behavior on Hodur

At the end of April , a white car came from Morello down Kiki and turned into Hodur. The driver and passenger and I made brief eye contact when they first turned down our court, but then something strange happened.

I twice observed the same few folks very slowly driving a white vehicle down our Hodur Court and studying every home.

If you have a copy of this email describing the pair that drove our court a few times back to back which I sent earlier to some of you, please send it back to me. I cannot seem to find it and it had more particular information including the make of the vehicle, date, time etc., etc.

Kind of like an owl turns it’s head so far round, the driver and passenger kept their faces turned opposite of my direction at all times except for that brief moment before they noticed my watching them.

Regardless of which way they drove on the court, they kept their faces turned so far to the other side… that it appeared strange to me. It appeared they didn’t want to be identified. They were older and somewhat homeless looking.

If they’d have been lost or searching for someone in particular, or even been interested in buying a home on our street, you would think they might at least acknowledge my being there in my driveway watching them.

I continued to watch them the entire time they were on the court and both trips taken. I know they were aware of my watching them! I even began to go to the edge of my drive as they approached it, because I would have asked them if they were lost.

April 11, 2005 Mesa Verde Place Home Broken Into

We live on Mesa Verde Place, in Pleasant Hill, which is off Paso Nogal near the golf course. Our house was burglarized on the 11th of April, 2005. The culprit broke the glass door in the backside to make an entry. Our estimated loss was over $15,000.

I have his picture from the video surveillance of ToysRus where he tried to use our credit card. I also have his complete profile from the guy who works in the electronic section of ToysRus and saw the suspect that night.

The burglar also tried to sell one of my jewels through the bay area Craig’s List and I have a phone number and an e-mail address from that advertisement. The suspect continues to be at large and will probably strike another home soon.

Unfortunately we were not aware of some of the other incidents that had happened in our neighborhood. Quite a few stolen cars had been abandoned on our street. Also one of our neighbor’s purses was stolen from her car parked just outside the house. Had we known all this was occurring right in our neighborhood we would have been more cautious.

Easter Vacation 2005 Home Entered ~Occupant present~ Searching for Lost Cat

A home on Kiki was entered while her two unsuspecting and disabled family members (son and husband) were home. Here is what happened…

A Hispanic woman and her young son knocked on the door and asked if they could look for their lost cat. They proceeded to look throughout the home in bedrooms, etc for this “cat.” Later, a 3rd stranger appeared in the home that was not at the door when the other 2 knocked and were let in. He was a much larger male, who demanded that the residents leave their home immediately.

I did find the incident regarding the people "looking for their lost cat". It is a matter of concern to us so we are asking all you neighbors to really be vigilant and report suspicious activity.

Incidentally, it makes it easier for me to research an event if you can give me the exact date and rough time of that event.

You are also welcome to come to our police lobby and look through our daily log on a regular basis. Otherwise keep in contact and I will do what I can to get you your information. Please let the neighbors know they should call police at 288-4600 if any future problems. Officer TC
