San Ramon Neighborhood Watch Alert
There have been a few burglaries around San Ramon lately… the last one on Kittery by
Pine Valley Drive.
The guy suspected is of unknown ethnicity, stocky, and carries a clipboard to look as though he is a contractor as he scopes out the neighborhood.
He’s taken only carry-able items such as jewelry, electronics, and other lighter items easy to carry and has come in opened or unlocked doors, usually from the backyard. So far he has not been violent, but we wanted to make sure to pass this info on to others.
This info is from the Alameda County Sheriff’s office from deputies that live in this area and I don’t believe it has been released to the public, but please pass this on to others, especially other parents whose kids might be coming home alone after school.
If anyone happens to see a suspicious person fitting the general description of the person above, please call the San Ramon Police Department 925-973-2779 to report it (non-emergency) .
Take care and stay safe.

John,
The west side of Mountain View and Los Altos were recently hit with a series of break-ins. The perpetrator would enter the house when the owners were sleeping and took wallets, jewelry and laptops. Eventually he got caught when he tried to use a stolen credit card to get gas (gas station had video camera).
I recently spoke with a Los Altos policeman and he told me that the door to door solicitors asking for donations are usually professional criminals who go to affluent areas to scope out homes. A group recently went to one house in south los altos, knocked and when there was no answer, they emptied the house to the tune of 100k in less than 30 minutes.
Neighbors need to watch out for each other and call in the police when these door to door solicitors come around. Be vigil and be aware. Thanks
